*Week 5
Take a moment and think, what is a relationship? There can be a different explanation of dating in everybody's head. Today, dating and relationships are looked at in a different way because of technology. When people are sucked into technology the idea of connecting with someone is lost and human to human connect is not present. There are people who date for long periods of time without even meeting each other. But the real question is, is that real love? Can you have a higher level connection with someone if you never felt there skin or smelt their natural sent? This is not something for me to decide for others relationships solely because everyone has their own opinion on what a relationship is. But I can take a stance and say that higher connections with people come with touch, even if its as simple as the touch of a hand. This is a well known idea of love, it is the little things that make us human by developing feelings. But this idea was always present in love, but might have been forgotten about throughout time. Technology has decreased the idea of a relationship because who knows what can be said behind a screen. It is so easy to say anything if you are not face to face with that person. Although, it is kept alive with pop culture, for example famous artist like Ed Sheeran or One Direction. There are famous songs like 'Thinking Out Loud" or "Little Things" that keep true love in today's society. Below are the lyrics and what today's society thinks of them. It is very interesting that these people broke down the lyrics and put their own spin on things. This is keeping love in our generation. This all ties into defining a relationship and others keeping it alive in this day in age.
