What is love? My main research question is “what is love and does it
really exist?” and I’ve decided to narrow my topic down to just “what is love?”
I like this question because it is something that I am truly curious about and
I think it is something that many people will be interested in reading. I am
planning to find out exactly what love is. Some people may argue that it is
just a feeling and state of mind, and some people may argue that it is something
chemically happening within your body. I am planning to research this question
through the internet, and possibly ask close friends or family what their
opinion on the matter is. Some questions that I will specifically research
include; what are people’s viewpoints on love, what is love (as the broad
question, just to see what I get), is love chemical, and many more. I’m really
looking forward to this project and I’m excited to research a topic that I got
to choose!
Jillian,
ReplyDeleteI like your inquiry; love is the most illogical of all human emotions, but it is beautiful and profound. It's interesting you picked this because love is based on human emotion, not human thought. They are both different things. So far, it's awesome you're blog is original.
Love? Well, I think it is real. I may be young, but I know and did know when I met my boyfriend that he was the one I am supposed to love. Call me crazy, but the feeling was there and I decided to follow it. When I look at him, there is no other way to explain what I feel.
For improving your blog, I think you could add quotes about love and scientific quotes about love to add to the creativity of your blog. It would also show the contrasts between both sides of the argument. For each post, I would focus on one aspect of each factor about love, that way, you're addressing how broad it is.
Great Start!
Madison
I meant to say adding, not improve!
DeleteJillian,
ReplyDeleteI look forward to your research about love. I would like to know how it chemically affects our body and and how that affects some designs we make in life. There are so many avenues you can go with this. I do not know which direction you are headed in but I thing I would be interested in reading about is a mothers love for her child. I have heard numerous times that there is nothing greater than a mothers love for her child, I can only imagine that it is a love like no other, but why? Is it genetics or something at birth, or general nurturing attachment. I hope something comes up at some point on this! Good luck!
Hey Jillian. I am looking forward to your blog. I have my opinions on love, like anyone else, and it will be very interesting as you work with this topic. As a parent, and a spouse, I feel I have an idea of love, and yet I would struggle to quantify the feeling. Anything I could say would fall short. This is why your blog is so fascinating to me. Love has a certain element of myth and legend to it, since love has been around since man has been around, and it defies measurements for the most part. It is true that many scientists have found links to chemistry and neurological reactions, and that is one part that interests me the most. There are not many improvements I can make at this point, so I will just say "write on!" (sorry, I can't resist a pun)
ReplyDeleteHey Jillian! I find your question to be really fascinating. It is truly a puzzling questions with answers that could go in all directions. You're sub-questions are spot on but perhaps you could look at love from a different prospective, like pets, for example. Being a dog person, I truly believe my dogs loves me just as much, if not more, than I love them. Maybe looking into love from pets might help you come up with an answer as to what love really is. I look forward to seeing more!
ReplyDeleteWhat did you find interesting about the response?
ReplyDeleteI found it most interesting where you showed the different hormonal effects and the different chemicals that are released in your brain with different stages of love. I always find it interesting and a little lackluster to be reminded that when you feel a connection it is because of signals in your brain and chemicals concocting the feeling.
What would you add to this post? OR What questions does this post generate for you about the topics?
I’d like to know what research has been done to show why our brains produce these chemicals, what advantages does it give humans?
What do you agree OR disagree with and why?
You can’t argue with science! I’d only disagree with the stages of love for men and women. The table at the beginning of blog didn’t really do it for me. Of course everyone will be different from relationship to relationship.
