Chapter 6

In chapter 6 the author touches on love and all the characteristics of it. He describes love as an emotion and behavior that is a key factor in human survival. For the rest of the chapter the author speaks on this belief and how it is proven through the nature of people in every culture and society. The author speaks of all types of love and how it has aided mankind in all societies.

I found the chapter as a whole interesting. That the author could take a concept as vague as love and base a chapter on it in a sociology book was so interesting to me. I really liked how he started the chapter and went into depth on how love is key for "human survival." This was very interesting to me.

My main question about the chapter is how is love proven? In the chapter it describes the different types of love but how do you determine genuine love between people in society? This is my only major concern with this chapter.

  1. In response to your question, I believe that love can be proven in multiple ways, but it depends on the circumstances and the values in the relationship. Whatever the needs are of the significant other within the relationship are generally how one would go about proving their love. It could be as simple as holding their hand as you stroll down the street together or something more complex as providing patience or understanding towards your significant other in a situation.
