A system that has an upper hand over the surroundings, or an individual can be considered as the higher force of that particular society. In Barbara Fredrickson’s, “Love 2.0,” Azar Nafisi’s, “Reading Lolita in Tehran,” and Karen Ho’s “Biographies of Hegemony” a strong relationship is evident between the narratives behind these high forces and our engagement with these narratives. In “Love 2.0,” Barbara Fredrickson introduces scientific analyses of the high force, the brain’s response, to positive connections. The unfamiliar standpoint about how love is “forever renewable” and how “[it is] not unconditional” in this scientific society, refines how love is interpreted and perceived (108). Fredrickson presents an ongoing juxtaposition from both

This simply means that the previously mentioned high forces, set rules for dressing, and require appropriate behavior by controlling the individual’s life choices. For example, in “Love 2.0,” Barbara Fredrickson states, “love is renewable” and “you can find love countless times each day” (108). When we approach others and make small connections, we tend to share a positive resonance between each other. Thus, the shared positivity keeps us happy and allows us to reflect the way we want to respond. In addition, she states that unleashing “upward spirals” include enduring resources such as health benefits (120). However, the biological perspective of love states that love occurs when your brains are in synchrony. Barbara Fredrickson’s notion about how “evidence for synchrony in two people’s insula” and how “two individuals come to feel a single, shared emotion,” strengthens the argument that reflections in the brain occur when you meet those certain individuals (112). Hence, the method that allows an individual to fall in love in the first place, according to Fredrickson, is very limited. Fredrickson does say that the individual can love anyone he or she meets, which is not limited, but the approach that an individual has to start loving another is limited when she says that both brains have to be in sync.

In “Love 2.0,” Fredrickson, reiterates that the individuals mutually gain health benefits from the small micro-moments of love. She states that when experiencing micro-moments of love, the system also includes “your physical health, your social bonds, your personality traits, and your resilience. Having assets like these certainly make life easier and more satisfying” (120). Hence while the individual falls in love through positive connections, the biological perspective, the body benefits itself by also gaining pro health benefits such as controlling heart rate. Similarly, the narrative in Azar Nafisi’s piece, the exposure to literature, especially fantasy, permits the readers to grow and to expand their capacity for empathy. The fantasy novels, despite of their prose, allow the girls to identify themselves with the themes. Imagining stories and considering the novels in a new perspective, helps activate the regions of the brain that enables them to feel and to reflect for simply a fictional character. Such narratives, while providing exploration time for the individuals, benefit the higher forces by demonstrating how much of the control is in their hands and by giving them the ability to manipulate the individuals. The higher forces use the narratives to help them to limit the approaches to love, the styles of dressing and the qualities required for working.
