Modern Love : Sociology of Love. 5 ⭐️ The combination of Romanticism + Capitalism + Consumerism.
Summary In modern society, people are increasingly seeking meaning in life through love and emotional connections rather than religion or traditions. Couples often reflect on their feelings to ensure their relationship aligns with their personal narratives. Modern love involves balancing stability and change, requiring effort, compromise, and self-development to maintain satisfaction.
Despite individualism, couples face state control, especially transnational couples who must prove their emotional bonds through documentation. Social and cultural contexts influence personal relationship decisions, and media plays a role in redefining private and public life boundaries. Love is thus a socially managed phenomenon, varying across times and contexts, making it challenging to objectively understand people's experiences and emotions related to love and intimacy.
