Dating. It has always been a major aspect of the American lifestyle. From depicting relationships in magazines, to major Hollywood productions, to comic books, dating is everywhere. Dating itself has evolved, modernized and redefined itself after each passing generation. From the days where a woman 's hand in marriage was traded for land and property to the Tinder hookups of today, dating is nothing like it used to be.

Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner provides insight into how power affects people and what it can do to relationships. Humans, by nature, crave power and seek control over others. Power is addictive. Once someone has had a taste of power, they will do everything possible to hold onto it. Throughout Hosseini’s novel, characters gain and lose power. They also abuse power, whether through friendship or fear. They manipulate the powerless to stay in their position. In Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner, aggressors evoke guilt and shame in their victims in order to maintain their power, bespeaking the human need to be in control.

Friedrich Nietzsche presents several ideas on the concept of power and what humans do with it in his work “On the Doctrine of the Feeling of Power.” Such ideas can also be found interspersed into the personalities of characters in Nancy Farmer’s book The House of the Scorpion.

Power, a major influence throughout all of history. Wars, love, and countries all began with the same concept: power. Sometimes, power is used responsibly; other time the platform of prestige authority is used in a manipulative way. Power can stem from an individual, but it can also be rooted in memories that haunt people forever. In The Kite Runner, Khaled Hosseini writes an impactful novel, showing the brutality Afghanistan goes through as power is corrupted in the country. However, Hosseini also explores the theme of authority that family has over others and how dark feelings can rule people’s lives. Power is depicted in three different ways in the novel: the Taliban’s rule over Afghanistan, Baba’s pull on Amir, and the guilt Amir feels over himself.

In an excerpt (“Dating”) from the book titled “From Front Porch to Back Seat: Courtship in Twentieth-century America” (1998), Beth L.

Dating essentially stemmed from the lack of opportunity experienced by lower-class members. The idea of ‘calling’ was not a practical system for young people who lived in crowded areas in which parlors and pianos did not exist for them. The idea of ‘calling’ soon began to fade after the rise of the invention of the automobile. “In the early 1930s, the word dating had transcended its origins: Middle-class America neither associated it with upper-class rebellion nor the urban lower classes” (Bailey, 19). The interwar period was ultimately a time where new concepts in relationships were emerging. It could be argued that these years ‘tested the waters’ for experiencing the evolution of a male and female’s relationship. The dating system essentially
