The topic I will be discussing is whether or not the following statement: love through popular music, movies, and novels. Media convey the message that love is an experience to pursue, enjoy, and maintain. Can be disproven or proven that music and movies can sometimes include and exclude various genders in society. For example, a particular movie is only targeted toward a specific gender without taking into consideration other genders. Conversely, an artist composes a song that Evols specific a specific emotion in an individual. The statement was astonishing to me because we utilize social media on the daily basis that we don’t realize how much it is involved in our life. I agree with this because in today’s society we are so consumed with social media that if we do not have an active account. It’s like we are now part of society at all the facts were that, how social media has played a role in how to interact with other people. When we are looking for an individual that share the same interests as we do in addition to their characteristic to ensure that they are compatible to one to one another in my opinion, although individuals are aware of how social media function not a lot of taking into consideration, it can affect their love interest, and emotion.
In my opinion in I believe that the author of this book is expressing his bias through his writing because although he mentions how these forms of entertainment affect our perception of love you this not discuss how it impacts other genders in society which leaves us question was he thinking about their gender with writing this section. In this chapter of the book maybe some of his bias was he was only concerned with how it’s affected only one subsection of society without taking into consideration any other genders and how it would impact, and their feelings and emotions. I surmise that most of his bias comes from his own observation and may be some of his own values which he adheres to. I believe that the authors should have done more research to gain better understand of how different genders interpret different things in society, such as music, movies and novels. Thus, providing him with a bigger picture of society.
When researching concept of love in social media in the another book entitled family in traditions, according to Skolnick; Skolnick the first Internet dating website was established in 1995 by match.com was largely based on an race/ethnicity, age, body type, political affiliation, religion, and other criteria. Moreover Juarez 2006 states that online websites and smaller websites are more prone to attract older individuals because they have last time to go out and they have more money to spend and it eliminates barriers for that subset of the population. As M. Rosenfeld and Thomas 2012. Note that the Internet has become crucial for the gay and lesbian population because they are less likely to find a partner at random. Unlike single individual in an society.
