homework 55

Part 1:
Independent /Research Question --
What is considered a healthy vs unhealthy relationship in today's society? what is the specific criteria?

Part 2:
TO JACARA:
I think your research question had the potential to be very interesting, there is a lot you can branch out and talk about. I think without you knowing it while doing research you will include new information that you find very interesting along the way. It is very similar to mine in the sense that you want to analyze how a relationship works. By "barriers" do you mean things that are and are not acceptable by todays standards (according to society) or do you plan on focusing on specfically what a "functional" couple thinks works or does not work. Before you start you research i think you might want to just get a solid idea about what a relationship actually is do you think there is a correct definition? keep up the good work :)

TO JULIETTE:
I think there is a lot to be said for your chosen question and i think it will be even more interesting because many people have different opinions on why people cheat and wether or not it is acceptable, it is very controversial. It would be very interesting to get both women and mens opinion on the subject and compare the two, i can only imagine that you would get very different responses from the two. I think another aspect about the questions that makes this a very interesting is how relatable it is, even to people our age. It seems that temptation is everywhere even if we love the person why are they not good enough. To make this question a little more interesting to kids out age maybe look into the music that we all listen to and analyze the lyrics. why have major music stars made cheating and being unfaithful cool?

Part 3:
I have yet to get any feedback on my question therefore i am going to leave it the way it is now, but i am still very open to change. However after reading Juliette's question i was very tempted to steal hers because as i was thinking about hers i came up with some ideas that i think would make a very interesting paper.

  1. Francesca,

    A good way to approach your topic would be to show the overlap and contradiction in popular/dominant theories of "healthy relationships".

    If you could show that either there's a pretty solid consensus, or that there's pretty chaotic confusion, that'd have implications for how we evaluate our own lives.
