Essay 3: Examination of a Word
Assignment: This 4 to 6 page essay will require you to choose one meaningful word to you. It can be a word for which you are already very familiar, or a new word you learned this semester; however, it must be a content word rather than a function word, as we discussed in class (i.e. content words are nouns, adjectives, adverbs, and full verbs, whereas function words are prepositions, pronouns, determiners, conjunctions, particles and auxiliary verbs). In this academic, thesis driven essay, you should:
· carefully define what the word is and its part of speech (which could be included in the definition)
· explain why the word is meaningful to you, including how and why you interpret the word the way you do
· argue why it’s a significant word in our language today
· illustrate how the word has changed over time (i.e. sick used to mean “physically ill,” now it has evolved into “cool” or “awesome”)
· describe in detail how this word could potentially affect other people who hear it, or are called it
· describe how the word affects you
If you need help expanding your essay, consider these questions as you construct your work:
· Why did you decide to choose this word?
· Most words change in their definition over time; to what extent has this word you’ve chosen changed? Has it changed very much? Very little? In what way?
· Do you wish to argue that the word’s meaning should be changed?

Love can be characterized by passion, caring, intimacy, and commitment. Elements of romantic love include attachment, caring for the other person's happiness as much as your own, and sharing private thoughts and feelings. Rubin developed scales to measure liking and loving as a way to assess attitudes toward others and measure the complex feeling of love. Sternberg's triangular theory of love identifies three components - intimacy, passion, and commitment - that characterize different types of love such as infatuated love, empty love, companionate love, fatuous love, and consummate love. Maintaining consummate love, which represents the ideal relationship, may be difficult.
Love and intimacy that is necessary for oneRamirSimbre3
Love is a complex human experience that can be conceptualized in various ways. It involves intimate connections between individuals and can be understood as a social phenomenon, emotion, and neurobiological event. Several theories offer frameworks for defining and explaining love. Robert Sternberg's triangular model of love suggests it consists of intimacy, passion, and commitment. Intimate relationships typically go through five stages - acquaintance, buildup, consolidation, decline or deterioration, and ending.
This document discusses various types and aspects of relationships. It defines what constitutes a relationship and differentiates between close relationships and interpersonal attraction.

This presentation is the start of WOW Bali’s research and development for a creative autonomous exchange that can be utilized to connect the understanding of love via creativity and visa versa. We hope to go beyond the lump sum and understanding of what “love and creativity” means from just the emotional context. Unless we can develop one of the greatest emotions of our lives so that it can be “energy for motion, it will creates blockage to sustain within.
Our goals are the define the alikeness and via its similarities and differences that connect us at the human level. This sustainable human development processes of “Love and Creativity” seemed to be the backbone of sustainable development for a more holistic participatory approach. Please help share and create new dialogs.

They pray to forget these thoughts and to accept what cannot be changed. They ask to be taught how to find peace and meaning even while growing older and weaker, and call out for spiritual comfort through change.
La madre responde que no tiene un hijo preferido, sino que ama a cada uno de sus hijos en la medida en que los necesitan, ya sea por enfermedad, ausencia, cansancio u otras razones. Ella completó diciendo que ama incluso a aquellos hijos que ya la han dejado, hasta que los vuelva a encontrar.
Este documento contrasta las diferencias entre las generaciones actuales de padres y las generaciones pasadas. Mientras que los padres del pasado eran más autoritarios, los padres de ahora intentan no cometer los mismos errores y son más comprensivos y permisivos. Sin embargo, esto ha llevado a una inversión de roles donde los hijos ahora esperan más respeto de sus padres y tienen más poder e influencia sobre ellos. El documento argumenta que se necesita un enfoque firme pero respetuoso para guiar a los hijos adecuadamente durante su niñez.

conditional – we are constantly
being evaluated by our partners.

disease
Plato

Freud
Cupid‟s arrow
4. Chemistry of falling in love
What are the physical reactions that can accompany „falling in
love‟?
„high‟ feeling – excitement, elation, giddiness
Cause – increased activity of neurotransmitters in brain
[norepinephrine, dopamine, esp. phenylethylamine (PEA)]
Plus endorphins (morphine like substances) - calming chemicals
Love „highs‟ do not last – usually 6-18 months – possibly
because body develops tolerance … romantic love is short
lived.
Withdrawal – loss of mood lifting chemicals – similar effects to
withdrawal of amphets and loss of „calming‟ endorphins –
dramatic breakups cause pain. Liebowitz (1983). Chemistry of love.
5. Words to describe falling in love
Your words? Earth shattering
Trance
Beguiling
Amazed

6. Romantic love and marriage around the world
Romantic love not only a European invention
(developed from the Medieval tradition of courtly
love).
Romantic love - experienced in all
cultures, although valued differently between
cultures.
The more individuals are autonomous (ie. free, not
bound by strict family or tribal ties), the more they
consider romantic love a requirement for selecting a
partner
The more bound by family or tribal ties, the less
romantic love is considered a prerequisite.
7. Romantic love is …
Knee identifies five components of romantic love:
(1) the belief that love conquers all;
(2) the belief that each person has only one true love;
(3) the expectation that the beloved will live up to the
ideals of the lover;
(4) love at first sight is possible; and
(5) it is better to follow your heart than your head
when choosing a partner.
Knee (1998)
8. Intimacy, passion & commitment
Stenberg‟s model of love consists of
1. intimacy
2. passion
3. commitment.
Various types of love arise as each of these 3 components
is added into the mix.
These range from non-love (an absence of all 3) to
consummate love (the presence of all 3).
Sternberg (1988)
9. Falling in love - why and with
whom???
If you have ever been in love – what attracted you

PROXIMITY
SIMILARITY
RECIPROCITY – when we receive actions of
liking or loving, we tend to return the same
response (Curtis and Miller, 1988)

30. Dido – Thank you (No Angel 2000)
My tea’s gone cold,
I’m wondering why I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
And I can’t see at all.
And even if I could it’d all be grey
But your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it’s not so bad
It’s not so bad.
I drank too much last night,
Got bills to pay,
My head just feels in pain
I missed the bus
And there’ll be hell today.
I’m late for work again
And even if I’m there
They’ll imply that I might not last the day.
31. And then you call me and it’s not so bad
It’s not that bad and …
I want to thank you
For giving me the best day of my life.
Oh just to be with you
Is having the best day of my life.
Push the door, I’m home at last
And I’m soaking through and through
Then you handed me a towel
And all I see is you.
And even if my house falls down now,
I wouldn’t have a clue
Because you’re near me and …
I just want to thank you….
