Q Part A: After reading the information on page 158 of the textbook - Exploring Diversity: Isn't It Romantic? Cultural Construction of Love, please answer the following questions according to your expectations of love. 1. Do you believe that love conquers all - everything - every situation? Why or why not? 2. Should you have high standards (not perfection but high standards) for your romantic partner to meet? Why or why not? 3. Should you follow your heart and not your mind when choosing a partner? Give an example. Part B: In many collectivist countries romantic love is not a priority and in fact romantic love is felt to have a negative impact on marriage. Trust, loyalty, and valuing the well being of extended family are traits to have in a marriage partner. 4. What are your thoughts on this? Is romantic love overrated in today's married relationship? Perhaps America's divorce rates would be lower if our society didn't focus on passionate love in a marriage? 5. What do you think?
