Argumentative Speech About Love

1418 Words6 Pages

Do you ever find yourself sitting around the dinner table with your parents while they ask yet again if you have met anyone special? Or have you ever noticed how 90% of the songs and films out there are about love? Have you ever stumbled upon that one article “10 ways to find your soulmate – you won’t believe number 6!”? Well, most of us definitely have, thanks to our solitude. When we’re not dating anyone, people ask us why not. They want a specific reason as to why we’re still single. They’re basically implying that there’s something wrong with us and that there needs to be an explanation for why we are currently living as individuals. We’re made to feel like we’re not living our life the right way until we’ve found another person to validate our own.
Hello, my name is Ekaterina and today I’ll explore a rather infamous topic – love. But not love as a whole, but an aspect of it which I regard has become a problem in our society.
I do believe that the constant rush on getting into a relationship has had a negative impact on our lives. The peer pressure not only for the young, but for every age has created a spiral of anxiety when trying to find love as a way to fit in.

Is that the key to happiness? For some, yes. But for others it isn’t. However, since this whole romance

    Abigail is later presented as autocratic and flirtatious. This is apparent when she tells John to ‘Give’ her ‘a word’. The use of the imperative verb ‘give’ portrays Abigail as very authoritative and controlling – suggesting she is a confident and strong character (and implies the relationship to be rather one-sided). She continues to describe his word as ‘soft’. This implies that Abigail has a flirtatious and provocative nature (who desires attention from

    I do believe every relationship has a set of different issues, but it's how the couple faces these issues what is important. In my current relationship, I have been able to experience what love and a relationship really is. Many couples or marriages state how there is a certain “honeymoon stage.” In my relationship, this was not exactly the case. When I first met my boyfriend, our similarities and goals untied us.

  • Gary Thomas: A Brief Summary

    1186 Words  | 5 Pages

    Author Gary Thomas (2013) opens his contextual publication with the concept behind why individuals pursue marriage instead of the traditional focus behind who the individual marries. Both are necessary components for determining marital success, however, before one considers whom they chose to marry, he or she must evaluate why they desire to pursue marriage. Thomas (2013) continues to articulate the Christ-centered foundation established upon seeking Christ and flourishing in one’s spiritual walk with the Lord. Relationships require corresponding purposes and mission to maintain longevity in marriage. Without first seeking God and His kingdom before choosing a marital partner, one will jeopardize his or her future contentment.

  • Satire On Marriage

    People want to get married because they are ready to take the relationship to a higher level of responsibility and commitment. The satirical argument made throughout the video is that one’s freedom is being compromised and ties, especially with the family are ruined once marriage gets in the picture. The video satirically highlights how individuals will not want to marry because of the huge commitments and responsibilities involved. This is ironic because, when it is decided that the goal of a relationship is marriage, it shows that the couple is ready to commit and love each other unconditionally.

    According to this theory, nature of love is changing fundamentally and it can create either opportunities for democracy or chaos in life (Beck & Beck- Gernsheim, 1995). Love, family and personal freedom are three key elements in this theory. This theory states that the guidelines, rules and traditions which used to rule personal relationships have changed. “Individuals are now confronted with an endless series of choices as part of constructing, adjusting, improving or dissolving the unions they form with others” (Giddens, 2006). For instance, marriage nowadays depends on the willingness of the couples rather than for economic purposes or the urge to form family.
