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…
Growing up in a very traditional home you tend to adapt to your surroundings of the love that is provided there. The author of this article grew up admiring the love her parents had for each other.

Since the moment they met, they have had a very strong connection, but somewhere along the years they began to drift apart. Where did it go wrong?…

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.…
Hello Vania, I was surprised that you scored high in all of the components of the triangular scale, Steinberg mentions that consummate lovers tend to have better relationships, on the other hand I'm also a Eros a romantic lover which he describes as a person who is in love with beauty and to be honest I really like this type of loving and as Steinberg mentions I spend too much time dreaming about my future, but sometimes can be hurtful because we love and expect other to love us the same way as we do it.…
Triangles Another of the most important concepts of this theory is that of triangles, refers to the predictable ways in which people relate to each other in an emotional field. “The triangle is conceived as a natural phenomenon observable in all forms of life” (Kerr, M. Bowen, M., 1988; Bowen, M., 1989; Bowen, M., 1991).The movements of the triangles can be so unpredictable that is hardly possible to observe in calm emotional situations, while increases are often in the presence of anxiety and tension. The less differentiated people are moved as pawns by emotional tensions, while the better differentiated are less vulnerable to stress states. “The lower level of differentiation, the stronger the emotional attachment and not turn out to parents…
Introduction: Many people see love as a one dimensional concept; however, Robert Sternberg sees it differently. Sternberg suggests that “love has three components: passion, intimacy, and commitment” (p. 109). Passion refers to the physical aspects of a relationship, such as both physical and sexual attraction along with romance. Intimacy describes the closeness of the individuals, and commitment encompasses the choice to both begin and continue to love.…
Commitment focuses on a couple’s ability to work together and solve problems they may face together in the relationship and in daily life. It is the persistence to remain stable and continue on a relationship. Intimacy relates to how well the couple knows one another, and evaluates what they have in common with one another in terms of values and lifestyle. Finally, passion characterizes the drive to pursue a relationship (Sternberg 119). Commitment, among the three components, is entirely logical.…
The new definition of Love, introduced by Barbara Fredrickson, in “Love 2.0,” not only presents the scientific analyzes of the brain’s response to positive connections, but also a unique perspective of what love actually is. The unfamiliar standpoint about how love is “forever renewable” (108) and how “[it is] not unconditional” (108) refines how love is interpreted and perceived. Fredrickson presents an ongoing juxtaposition from both ends of love and strongly states that “love is a single act performed by two brains,” (113). It is true that micro-moments of love lead to good health, but love relationships and long-term health in light of this micro moment emphasis – especially – are never constant and are always changing; simply because one…
Human beings are social animals and their survival depends on cooperative alliances like friendships, long-term relationships via marriage or dating and reproduction. Emotions and expressions of those emotions enable humans to form long lasting relationships. Long lasting, close bonds oblige partners to remain committed in each and every interactive moment that make up their personal lives and in light of the tests that can address the preview of true bonds. It is postulated that love allows human beings involved in close relationships to resolve commitment and dedication issues. This definition enabled the researchers to predict that momentary experience of love inspired approach and that the outward show of warmth passes on commitment to the associate.…

For a relationship to reach this level of love it will take long-term commitment and intimacy in a relationship. This type of love is typical of multiple couples who still show affection to each other and are committed to in their relationship even after the passion dies down. Liking is distinguished by the type of feelings a person develops for a friendship. In liking, there will tend to be a feeling of closeness towards one another as well as warm feelings. Nevertheless, commitment is absent in the relationship as well as any powerful passion towards one another.…
