Regrettably, however, romantic information can be subjective, lacking, or one-sided when portrayed in films. Therefore, many individuals are left with erroneous, naïve beliefs about sex, love, and relationships. The film Don Jon leaves people with an unrealistic view of love.…
Love is a simple phrase that has existed throughout human history. Since the beginning of time, we have been taught to love one another through works of kindness and compassion. Despite this, we as a greedy, shallow culture tend to resort to conflict to solve our issues. From wars to segregation, humans have fought numerous battles in the name of a better world, yet, all they have accomplished is insurmountable conflict.
