Is “love at first sight” possible?

You see someone attractive across the room and that feeling of love rushes into your head, but is it really love? I believe that there is no such thing as “love at first sight”, you feel physically attracted but not mentally connected. How can you truly be in love with someone that you have just met? In loving a person you have to know about them, have a mental connection and bond. If you just look at someone you are attracted to him or her, not in love. Love is almost like a drug in the sense that people crave it, need it, and sometimes—will do almost anything for it. So how can you be in love if you have just looked at them? Everyone has seen at least one movie of a guy falling in love with a girl that he just looked at, no bond or knowledge of each other whatsoever. In just under a second the human brain can determine if someone is physically attractive, old, young, tall, or short. In the first three minutes of talking to someone you can make up your mind if that person could be a potential partner. Only 10% of marriages happened because of “love at first sight” (or as we now know it as attraction at first sight). This percentage isn’t high for a reason, you can’t be in love with someone you have just seen, or even met. Studies show the more that you talk to someone the more inclined you are to falling in love with them eventually. Things that also attribute to relationships are social and economic level, within these three minutes of first talking to someone, most people can sum the other up and decide if the man or woman is in their level. Next time you see someone across the room take your chance, although it may not be “love” at first sight in just three minutes you could potentially have a partner.

    When people think of love, they often think of the passion and happiness that two people can share. Love is a strong emotion that can lead to much damage, but love itself is like a flame; it is bright and powerful, but it does burn out. However, this little flame called love can be created over a long period of time, or it can be sparked with just a glance between two people. Therefore, love at first sight is real.…

    Students, APA formatting is not required, however, you are required to substantiate your responses and opinions with laws, cases, statutes, codes, regulations or anything else that gives credibility to your answers. Remember, this is a legal class. Also, remember to state issues, integrate facts, discuss both sides of an issue, thoroughly analyze each question in detail, and lastly, conclude, based upon your legal findings and premise. You can have more than one conclusion as long as you argue both sides of an issue. You don’t need one absolute conclusion. The most important thing in law would be your ability to see both sides, argue them, and present alternative conclusions based upon these factors.…

    In the essay “ Expertise Dissected,” Daniel J. Levitin believes that barely anyone can become an expert in their area without continuos practice. Moreover, he mentions that although talent is a major factor that people acquire skills more rapidly than others, with only talent, one cannot achieve success in that area. Finally, Levitin emphasizes that practice is the most essential factor leading to a significant achievement. From my point of view, I totally agree with Levitins’ opinions. Based on my life experience and the book I read, I think his points are totally correct. All in all, practice is the most important foundation for success.…

    Upon reading Plato¶s ³Allegory of the Cave,´ I was impressed on how well the posed scenariogave such a mentally descriptive metaphor to any society and their stubborn unwillingness to look outsideof conventional ethics.In my eyes, the people inside the caves whose reality consists of the cave and its shadows relateto the people of a society who live their lives, doing whatever they can to meet the norms and fit in. Theseindividuals never question the shadows directly in front of them, as those shadows are the only realitythey know. They have no reason to look beyond or question the shadows because they have no idea thatthere may be more; there may be other ways of living life.The individuals who provide those who are chained with the images, and give them their falsereality are already enlightened individuals of society. These are the people who have already found their way out of the cave and have learned of the true world they live in. People such as these fuel the falsereality to those in the cave yet at the same time are the ones who will inspire the others own personalrealizations. You could think of these people as the individuals of society who don¶t follow all the normsand are true to themselves and live by what makes them happy, and not by society¶s standards.As the individuals in chains live life they are constantly exposed to those outside the cave. I believe that the more they are exposed to the ³free´ individuals and notice that they are not bonded tochains they begin to question their own reality. Here I believe that as those in chains gain their inceptionof the possibility of an alternate reality (or another way of living), they set themselves free of their own bonds and gain insight to the exit of the cave; the path to enlightenmentWhile walking out of the cave towards the light, the now free individual may be in the middle of shadows and bright light and begin to question his/her transformation. If they decide to continue however,they will be…

    Who would think that listening to hip hop music one would be influenced to live, think, and act a certain way? Joan Morgan’s “Fly Girls, bitches, and hoes: Notes of a Hip Hop feminist”, argues that the rampant sexism and machismo in hip hop music is the fault of both African American men and women and damages the larger African community. She compares hip hop music to an abusive relationship. She states that hip hop music is the only way in which young black men are allowed to hide and express their pain. She believes that black men are engaged in war and, racism and white power structure have conditioned black men to believe the enemy is brown. She states that for most black men there is no trust, no community, and no family. She believes that hip hop is the mirror in which brothers see themselves. She states that black women are hurt when they hear black men calling them bitches and hoes. She states that in the last thirty years the number of two-parent household has decreased from 70 to 38 percent. She says that the cause of death among black men ages fifteen to twenty-four is homicide. The hip hop community creates sexism and machismo in the African American community because of the way hip hop artist dress, what they say and how they behave.…

    Some people believe in love at first sight, then there are those who think it takes time to know when you’re in love. The difference is knowing when you’re in love and just simply feeling in love. Whether you think you are in love or not doesn’t matter, it depends on what you feel. Love can be a scary thing and a lot of work. You have no sense of control, and you feel like you’re going in blindly.…

    First coined in 1798 by Schlegel, Romanticism described an overt reaction against the Enlightenment and classical culture of the eighteenth century. Europe’s Classical past and the values it had attained were disintegrating. The paintings in this era showed the emotional attachment to victims of society. A lot of the work also always pitted the human against nature. The Romantics were devoted to seeing the beauty in nature through their own experiences.…
