How does the separation of love affect the body? Think about how you would feel if you are deeply in love with your significant other and they get ripped out of your life just like that. I know that sounds like a movie and well it is but just think how that would feel. In Perfect Chemistry By Simone Elkeles, Brittany and Alex are from different sides of town, Britney is from the “good” and “rich” side and Alex who is from the “poor” side. Nobody would have ever guessed that they would be together because of who they are and where they come from. When they fall in love, everybody tries to keep them apart for her safety.

Inequality is more about thinking that you are better than one another because of who you are or who your family is. Inequality happens a lot in this world says Ronald Inglehart in the article “Inequality and Modernization” published in Foreign Affairs. Inequality happens in relationships as well, one thinking that he or she is superior than the other. Inequality in relationships usually ends up in divorce or separating, us humans do not appreciate anybody thinking that they are better than us because in reality, it 's not true. Yes, you may have more money than somebody or you are more intelligent, but we are all equal here. Your brain is your main controller. When something bad happens to you, your brain is the one to make you react how you react. Say you have a bad day, your mind is going to be thinking about what made it a bad day, all day. Therefore, if your brain is happy then you are happy, if your brain is sad then you are sad. Michael Craig Miller, author of the magazine article “Sad Brain, Happy Brain” wrote “But your Brain is where you live. The brain is responsible for most of what you care about- language, creativity, imagination, empathy and morality.”. However, being in love can make your brain go crazy, it will give you mixed emotions and it will make you think constantly about the other person. Therefore this can be a good thing and also a bad thing, it can make you reconsider and it …show more content…
This is the same as picking your soul mate, you want to pick somebody that you want to be with for the rest of your life, but it is hard when there is something blocking that from happening. In the article “Is True Friendship Dying Away?” by Mark Vernon, Mark states that he thinks true friendship is dying away, with the way society is today it is very hard to tell what is real. There will always be somebody who is jealous trying to get into your relationship or friendship trying to stop it. Doing something because everybody else is, is not cool. In the Article “Everybody Does it?” by Thomas J. Scirghi, he explains that doing something because somebody else is doing it leads to consequences. If somebody was cheating on a test, would you? Even if the consequences were exceptionally bad?. Being in love has the same idea, just because everybody else has a boyfriend does that mean that you need to have one? Maybe you don 't choose the right one for you, then your parents will try to keep you from seeing them, causing separation of love. You would be sad because everybody gets to have boyfriends and hang out with them because their parents do not

    Throughout Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare exhibits both romantic and identity crushes to tell the story of two star-crossed lovers. What even is a romantic and identity crush? In both cases, “the young person largely projects onto another person idealized attributes the admirer highly values and wants to be associated with” (Pickhardt 2). According to the article Adolescence and the Teenage Crush, Romantic crushes are formed by finding someone whom they find powerfully attractive, who they feel excited to be around, and with whom they want to spend most of their time with. Contradicting romantic crushes, identity crushes are formed by finding someone they much admire, want to become like, and treat as a leader or model they are eager to imitate…

    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. This change in perception of the definition of love allows people to have a better chance of obtaining love and having a better sense of self. With the conventional notions of love and relationships, love becomes more complex by giving people the sense of longing.…

In a country with a high level of inequality there are higher levels of health and social problems. Also no one is better off in a country that has a high level of inequality.

    In Conclusion, I think that Romeo is a young, inexperienced and impatient but loyal and brave boy. I think that his naivety plays a huge rule in this because love was taken as an extravagant feeling to have when it was not truly happy as the lovers can experience heartbreak and many other obstacles. It seems as if Romeo only more cautious and deliberate, his devastating ending could have been prevented (even though we have not finished the book yet). Amongst friends especially Mercutio, Romeo shows signs of his social and quick witted persona, even with his fond of verbal jousting that is mainly about sex. Lastly, Romeo is like every other male in the world who only unveils their true self to the people who they trust or who understand them.…

    Such as Romeo and Juliet portrayed, showing the passion between two people in love, but having a tragic ending that truly moves the audience and shows just how powerful love can be. In Helen Fisher’s article, The Brain in Love, love is referred to as an addiction which is shown through Romeo and Juliet’s choices. Romeo and Juliet become dazed by their newfound love, leading to their oblivion of the world and problems around them. They drift away from reality and become far too distracted to see the harm their love could cause to them and those around them.…

    Infatuation and love are two vastly different types of affection that most people get confused between. It is likely to occur more so among a boy and a girl when they are young and inexperienced as opposed to when they’re grown and matured. Infatuation can easily be mistaken for love in many cases. In Romeo and Juliet infatuation is mistaken for love by the both of them, for what they had between them was not love due to the fact that they were not mature enough, love takes time to develop, and because it was based on physical attraction. Love deals with more than just looks.…

    Romeo and Juliet rush to get married after their first meeting. For example, when Romeo and Juliet are meeting in the orchard, Juliet says, “Three words, dear Romeo, and good night indeed./If that thy bent of love be honorable,/ Thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow,/By one that I’ll procure to come to thee,/Where and what time thou wilt perform the rite;/And all my fortunes at thy foot I’ll lay/And follow thee my lord throughout the world”(2.2.142-148). Although Romeo and Juliet just met earlier that night, Juliet is already proposing and confessing her love to him. This is unexpected, considering their time span of knowing each other. Shakespeare uses this to amplify the audiences emotions of love and warmth towards the characters.…

    In every romance or drama movie, the boy meets a girl, boy saves the girl (or vice versa), and then they fall in love. We see this scenario repeated in all sorts of media, but also in our own lives. Why do we fall in love? The answer is not always clear, but one thing for certain is that love is important for us as humans. “The lover” figure exists for us because love is something that all of us are ‘supposed’ to find.…

    The Chemistry of Love Love is an intense feeling of deep affection towards a person, place, or thing. Oftentimes human beings refer to their hearts as the source of their emotions and deep affections, but that is not true. The heart is simply a hollow muscular organ that pumps blood throughout the body. In fact, a human’s central nervous system in the brain is the cause of any and all affections. The misconception that the heart is the cause of human emotions evolved after the thirteenth and fourteenth century, when the heart became a symbol representing love in medieval art.…
