The Formation of Interpersonal Attraction and Intimate Relationships on Internet Relay Chat
The Formation of Interpersonal Attraction and Intimate Relationships on Internet Relay Chat An Exploratory Study CHERRIE JOY F. BILLEDO This research investigated the formation of interpersonal attraction and intimate relationships on Internet Relay Chat (IRC). Two methods were employed: survey and in-depth interview. Purposive and convenience sampling were used for both methods. Results revealed that the formation of in-person and online interpersonal attraction and intimate relationships have similar initial stages of development. For online relationships however, partners have to undergo processes to shift from online to in-person. It was also shown that similar attraction cues were important online and in-person. A closer examination, however, showed that these attraction cues differ in salience and quality. This study contributes to the understanding of the impact of computer-mediated communication, particularly IRC, on the development of intimate relationships. The advent of computer-mediated communication (CMC) via the Internet, is believed to have significant implications on various aspects of human endeavor. People are not only meeting and interacting through the Internet; they are forming meaningful relationships as well. According to an article in Newsweek magazine, the phenomenon of online relationships is growing at a fast rate that it now warrants serious attention (Stone 2001). In the Philippines, online romantic relationships are already slowly entering the cultural mainstream through Internet Cherrie Joy F.

Elvis Presley Once Sang, "Wise Men Say Only Fools Rush In, but I Can't
Laws of Attraction - Ruth 2:5-22 Dr. Kevin D. Glenn – Lead Pastor Elvis Presley once sang, "Wise men say only fools rush in, but I can't help falling in love with you." Have you ever noticed the language we use when we describe the beginning of romantic relationships? We use so many phrases about relationships that imply a loss of control: "Swept off my feet," "intoxicated," "falling in love," "fell for you.", etc. With all this stumbling and falling, no wonder relationships can hurt so much! This morning we’ll witness the beginning moments in the relationship between Ruth and Boaz. How do their first encounters help us re-examine the ways we relate when we’re interested in someone? What principles can we take from their interaction to help us, whether we’re married, divorced, or single? What are some laws of attraction seen in this part of the story? 1. Use your head to guide your heart. There is nothing wrong with being aware of your initial chemistry with someone. However, looks can fade, change, or be surgically altered…We must look below the skin for admirable qualities, qualities that will either confirm or betray outward appearances. • Many of today’s dating practices actually hinder our ability to really know a person. • Ignoring your head to follow your feelings can lead to a broken heart. • Ask questions, get history, look for patterns. Be smart, not just smitten. Boaz asked the foreman of his harvesters, "Whose young woman is that?" 6 The foreman replied, "She is the Moabitess who came back from Moab with Naomi. -

The Stranger’ in International Relations
Review of International Studies (2021), 47:1,19–38 doi:10.1017/S0260210520000376 RESEARCH ARTICLE . States of ambivalence: Recovering the concept of ‘the Stranger’ in International Relations Felix Berenskötter1 and Nicola Nymalm2* 1Department of Politics and International Studies, SOAS University of London, United Kingdom and 2Department of Military Studies, Swedish Defence University, Stockholm, Sweden *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] (Received 23 July 2019; revised 20 August 2020; accepted 24 August 2020; first published online 6 November 2020) https://www.cambridge.org/core/terms Abstract This article revisits and revives the concept of ‘the Stranger’ in theorising international relations by dis- cussing how this figure appears and what role it plays in the politics of (collective) identity. It shows that this concept is central to poststructuralist logic discussing the political production of discourses of danger and to scholarship on ontological security but remains subdued in their analytical narratives. Making the concept of the Stranger explicit is important, we argue, because it directs attention to ambivalence as a source of anxiety and grasps the unsettling experiences that political strategies of conquest or conversion, including practices of securitisation, respond to. Against this backdrop, the article provides a nuanced reading of the Stanger as a form of otherness that captures ambiguity as a threat to modern conceptions of identity, and outlines three scenarios of how it may be encountered in interstate -

Once the arrow has flown from Cupid’s bow and struck Jane Eyre its target, quivering with a mischievous thrill, there begins Charlotte Brontë a chemical reaction that despatches its victim on a journey filled with some of life’s most sublime pleasures but also its most tormented pitfalls (see: love, doomed; love, unrequited; lovesickness; falling out of love with love; and, frankly, most of the other ailments in this book). Nine times out of ten,* romance is dashed on the rocks and it all ends in tears. Why so cynical? Because literature bursts with heart- break like so many aortic aneurisms. You can barely pick up a novel that does not secrete the grief of a failed romance, or the loss of a loved one through death, betrayal or some-such unforeseen disaster. Heartbreak doesn’t just afflict those on the outward journey; it can strike even when you thought you were safely stowed (see also: adultery; divorce; and death of a loved one). Those afflicted have no choice, at least initially, but to sit down with a big box of tissues, another of choco- lates, and a novel that will open up the tear ducts and allow you to cry yourself a river. -
What's Love Got to Do with It: Courtship in Antebellum
WHAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT: COURTSHIP IN ANTEBELLUM AMERICA BY TAYLOR M. GARRISON Honors Thesis Muhlenberg History Department Dr. Lynda Yankaskas 6 May 2020 Garrison 2 In June of 1826, Edward Dickinson proposed to Emily Norcross via letter. A month later, Norcross had yet to accept, Dickinson poured out his affections for her across even more pages. He wrote: “I am perfectly satisfied in relation to your character & your virtues—and were you as well satisfied that our union would promote our mutual happiness, I would most cheerfully offer you my heart & hand—will you accept them?”1 No parents had been consulted for input nor had there been any discussion of economic exchange. Instead, Dickinson proposed marital happiness by means of his hand, economic and legal attachment, and his heart, companionship and emotional connection. In offering Norcross his hand and heart, Dickinson forsook the courtship traditions of the past and embraced the spirit of the American Revolution. Young adults in post-Revolutionary America exercised semi-independence from their parents.2 There was greater acceptance of young adult’s independent decisions through society-at-large’s push for democratic equality. Thus, society afforded them the power to make many of their own social choices. The rise of the Industrial Revolution further supported semi-independence by pushing many young adults to work outside the family home. Despite the growing societal support for young adults’ freedom, many courting Americans depended upon their family for essentials, such as economic support and physical housing. While young adults primarily constructed their own beliefs about courtship and marriage, they were cognizant of their continuing dependence on their families and adjusted their behavior accordingly. -
Investigating Radical Contradictions of Original Lovemaps: Therapeutic Implications
INVESTIGATING RADICAL CONTRADICTIONS OF ORIGINAL LOVEMAPS: THERAPEUTIC IMPLICATIONS by TRACY MELANIE LAKE submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF LITERATURE AND PHILOSOPHY in the subject PSYCHOLOGY at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA PROMOTER: DR I FERNS AUGUST 2006 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I extend my deepest thanks and appreciation to the following people, each one instrumental, in his or her own way, for making this project richer. Dr Ilse Ferns, again, my promoter and guide. For your valuable recognition and encouragement, and your special belief in that which I envisioned. My friend, fellow psychotherapist, and researcher, Leanne. For ideas shared, hatched, and reared in a spirit of honesty and ongoing self-inquiry. Let this always be so. To my ‘critical crew’, Johan Roelofse, Michelle Grönum, Jutta Eggers and Casper Human. Critics on request, colleagues at one time, peers always. To Terence Denton. For having spontaneously refined your own understanding of these ideas, long before I would find them, and for being so willing to share. The seven people who shared with me their memories, experiences, and reflections of loves lived, lost, and longed for. Your stories, meanings, and answers have been added to mine. Years of psychotherapy practice at university, state, and military hospitals developed the author’s interest in the presentation of love relationship problems. Mood and anxiety disorders, as the most prevalent pathologies, were often co-morbid with or secondary to partner relationship issues. Most vexing for clients was a situation of repeated dysfunctional partner selections in which similar problems arose each time. This incubated the idea of a process, probably outside of awareness, that functioned to perpetuate self-defeating partner selection patterns. -
