Long Distance Relationship and How To Make It Work
Dear Love Lady,
I have a love problem and I don't know what to do. I am a freshman in college and so is my boyfriend. We have been together since our senior year in high school, and we are very much in love. But, since we've been at college, we have developed a problem. We don't see each other from month to month. You see, we go to colleges in completely different states. We have always lived on the same street, but now we are so far apart. I don't even know if it will work, or better yet how to make it work. Any advice? Sad and In Love, Atlanta, GA
Dear Sad and In Love,
Well, it sounds as if you have a great thing if you can just stick with it. As a matter of fact, I have been in a situation just like yours. My boyfriend and I had just the same problem back when we were in college, and we made it work. We are now happily married with two beautiful children. So, I think I can give you a few pointers on how to keep your love going. You are going to have to have three important things to make it work though. Those things are trust, communication and patience.
First and the most important, you and your boyfriend need to have trust in each other. In every relationship there has to be trust, but for some reason, in long-distance relationships, it seems like there has to be just a little something more. Since you two are so far apart, yo...

As described by William Shakespeare , is a jealous green -eyed monster and one that annoys most people, especially those who are in a relationship ! Everyone stood on both sides of the fence jealousy once at least in his life . There are times people are wondering , is the field of women's jealousy ? Well, not really ! Both men and women suffer from jealousy on an equal footing . The exact origin and jealousy can be found in a motley of different emotions that are not always irrational to be honest. It is a combination of fear and insecurity of losing priceless possession or person .
Spanking is used as a barrier to negative behavior. If a child does something wrong and is spanked for it, then the child will think twice before doing it again. “Those who were physically disciplined performed better than those who were not in a study conducted by Marjorie Gunnoe” (Kettle). This proves that children that are physically punished learn to respect their parents more than children that are not. After a decade of the ban, “Rates of physical child abuse in Sweden had risen to three times the U.S. rate” and “From 1979 to 1994, Swedish children under seven endured an almost six-fold increase in physical abuse,” Fuller’s analysis revealed (Kettle).
The media is not evolving as quickly as gender roles are. Although it is not a new concept, the increase of women in the workforce or men becoming stay at home dads has not changed the way advertisements work to appeal to their target gender. Advertisers are aware of the fact gender roles are changing and the way they make ads are not as accurate as they used to be, why change something that is already working with perfection? The use of people that are physically fit or good looking has worked for decades, for the future, men will most likely be portrayed the same, strong, and looked up to by others. If it weren’t for advertisers, consumers would have no idea when a new product has launched. Consumerism in general should remain unchanged, but the portrayal of gender roles should make at least a stepping-stone towards the way things are now.
Unfortunately, we entered circumscribing stage. During this stage, both of us tried to avoid something that can turns into arguments. Because of this reason, our self-disclosure become lesser since we avoided talking about things that we used to discuss together as we afraid that it will turn into arguments. Both of us were busy with our college assignment. This situation was very different than what we faced during our high school time. Outwardly, people see our relationship is okay but there are lots of problems that happened between us. Things got worse as we reached stagnating stage. Our overall communications lessens during this stage. Our conversations was about greeting and we just asked how both of us doing. This makes our relationship becomes weaker. I become frustrated with this situation since I want our old times together. It feels like all of our efforts to build this relationship just fall to the ground. Then, our relationship entered avoiding stage. She started to use study as a reason for not replying my text. I felt like she wanted to avoid me most of the times. It took 2 days for her to reply my text and we start to have big arguments during this stage. I tried to save this relationship but I have
One of the reasons why our relationship failed is the most common: lack of communication. The first couple of months we would talk every night before going to bed, either on the phone or using the face-to-face chatting on Skype. It was sort of romantic. We would schedule dates where we would watch the same movie together, or go for long walks while talking on the phone, or even make dinner, dress up, and eat together while face chatting on Skype. Later on life just started getting in the way...
You have to prioritize the important aspects that you hold true, and make sure your partner feels the same way. Often times we go after someone for all the wrong reasons, and normally these relationships fail due to lack of certain values you don’t share. It is so important to have these conversations early on, making sure you’re compatible on all levels besides passion. The idea of staying in love, and being in love is something that most of us fantasize about, because the reality of actually having it happen is becoming less and less realistic. The concept of either of these is actually hard work, and a lot of time utilizing certain tools on a daily basis, such as love, communication, trust, being able to love yourself, and lastly passion. Being able to stick it out when during the rough patches, and the good. Long term relationships go through some of the toughest issues, and being able to utilize the right tools will help guide you in your
The term gender stereotype can be defined as any attributes, differences and roles of individuals and or groups (Gender Stereotypes, 2016). This term relates to advertising because advertisers argue whether gender stereotypes in advertisements are problematic and how the effect of these advertisements can harm society (Matthes, Prieler & Adam, 2016). Gender stereotyping in television advertisements can be problematic to society when gender roles are justified according to what society think is acceptable and not acceptable. According to the resource page, on the Health: Gender Violence website, gender roles are characteristics that are considered appropriate for men and women in society (N.A., 2002). What is consider appropriate for men and women in society? In this case, society says it is appropriate for women to bake, whereas men are judged for baking. For instance, the Easy Bake Oven commercials that are broadcast on television. This ad target market is basically for teenage girls. Why not for teenage boys as well? Advertisers should not showcase products that both genders can purchase. This situation mirrors what society think is appropriate and not appropriate for
The question of gender discrimination and stereotyping still remains the actual one in the 21 century. The concept of “gender” as “social basis” assumes studying of the gender stereotypes ordering one line of role behavior in a family and society for men, and others for women. Certainly, gender stereotypes really exist, and they are various in the different countries and during different historical eras. Despite the extensive data of researches, discrimination is widely used in the sphere of mass media, which uses gender stereotypes to attract attention from the necessary auditory or satisfy their own purposes. There are diverse situations where gender discrimination may be expressed through advertisements: the most typical are job advertisements and commercials. As stereotypical representations together with strongly marked discriminative elements are widely represented in advertisements, it is essential to determine the

There are different types of social phenomenon in our society, and one existing phenomenon that capture our attention like no other is crime. What is crime? Crime is an abnormal behavior that violates norms, and especially cultural standards that we as human are suppose to respect and have certain behavior towards. Standards such as : the changing of social, political, psychological, and economic conditions that have an effect on the justification of crime and the structural reaction of the criminal justice system created by Federal and State officials. Rational and deterrence theories are two important theories in this perspective. Research through out history provided us with different theories to help explain why people commit deviance acts.
Months ago, we decided to give love a try. However, we both were single and not quite planning on sharing feelings, personal biography, issues, our past, and who we were at that time with anyone. Two different worlds just collide in one night. We both had a coupl...
Trying new things and seeing new things with significant other can help establish passion Based on Sternberg’s triangular theory of love consummate is basically the goal of love, and not everyone achieve it but, each person having a relationship in their lives that can be defined other one of seven components in Sternberg 's triangular theory of love. Love is not easily defined because, it hard to describe exactly how someone may feeling about their significant other. Love is different for different individuals and are interpreted differently in when looking from culture from culture. Love has been shown by many to be hard to define but, in Sternberg 's theory described the broad term of love by defining relationships. In relationship with other we find three components give or take and, with those components we define a relationship on. When comes to friendship the goal is companionate love, to have someone be there for you through it all. In romantic relationship the goal is to have consummate love with person you choose to be with and hope for to stay with longer
Throughout most of my life I have gained friendships and relationships with others that have turned into long term, but others which only lasted a short while. The friendship that has greatly impacted my life significantly over the last eight years is someone who means so much to me. This meaningful friendship all started back when I was in middle school, which has grown stronger over the years. I met Brooke in middle school because we had some of the same classes and were in homeroom together. Our friendship developed quickly and lasted throughout our high school years. We became really close our Junior and Senior year of high school. But, maintaining our friendship hasn’t always been so easy. Today, we text and call each other on our free time, but I know I can count and rely on her when I need someone to talk too. I call her my second sister and vice versa. And when we go home on breaks we see one another as much as we can. The best part of our relationship is that if one is in need of advice or in need of a shoulder to cry on, we are always there for one another. Keeping in contact is very important in our relationship and communication has played a key role in our relationship.
