In addition, the best protection from heart disease and other illnesses has been in close family structure and strong community support during childhood.

    Humans have always looked for the answer to finding happiness in life. For the majority of people, they believe that love will bring them this sense of happiness. In Barbara Fredrickson’s, “Selections from Love 2.0: How Our Supreme Emotion Affects Everything We Feel, Think, Do and Become,” she talks about how we see love in the wrong way and that we should start looking at love the way the body sees it.

With the conventional notions of love and relationships, love becomes more complex by giving people the sense of longing.…

    Question #2 Hirschi’s social bond theory is a member of the social control paradigm and begins with the assumption that human beings are inherently drawn to deviant behaviour (King, 2016c, para 2). “Deviance is not socially created; it is inevitable unless mechanisms are socially created to prevent it” (King, 2016c, para 2).

Attachment refers to having significant others in ones life, along with a combination of supervision and caring.

    Not only can I find meaning by nurturing my newfound friendships, but I can also generate meaning by maintaining the relationships with my family and friends back home. This source of generating meaning to contribute to my happiness is justified in the same way as strengthening my newfound friendships. According to Wolf’s theory, these actions have subjective appeal and objective validity. Nurturing these relationships will require special attention and care because I no longer see my family or old friends every day, therefore nurturing these relationships is done out of ‘reasons of love.’ I believe family and friends (whether old or new) are important examples of aspects of a happy life.…
