As
the world globalizes, the meaning of the word love and how it is expressed have
been changing. It is expected that at some point we will all have a unique
meaning for the word. As love plays an important role in various cultures it is
also important to understand how it has been expressed through history. It has
not always been demonstrated as it is today. Some cultures as the Latin are so
close to each other, and so because of it love is shown in a specific way.
Society has created some actions to express feelings and what people want from
others that have become traditional. But, because societies have been
influenced one to another those traditions are at risk.
Today's
generation is so distinct from others. It is clear that all of them cannot be
the same but speaking of traditions about expressing love we can say that some
of them have forgotten the good manners. For example, before, if a man wanted
to have a date with a girl he had to woo her and win her love and the respect
of her family. Nowadays, couples hang out together for years without even
getting to know each other's families. Some of them do not even have an
official relationship and still play roles as if they had it. Youth forgot
those little and charming details of sending roses, giving chocolates, asking
out for a date, those long phone conversations or even asking properly to be in
a relationship. We have come to a point where we all make assumptions of every
step that the relationship took or that it will take without getting involved
for real.
Based
on this, I do believe we must try to preserve those traditions of expressing
love. Because we live in a world where people get to be with others without a
bit of respect. Society has lost its ability to interact with each other, and
this can become an important issue. It is time for parents to teach their kids
how to interact with the opposite sex with respect and good manners. It is also
determining that parents should be the ones who have to give a proper example
of how to treat others. It is not bad to be sensible or to be well educated.
People need to understand that at the end, it does not really matter what you
believe or think about the world. Because at the end of the day we all want the
same and that is to love and be loved so why we should not we keep those cute
traditions of expressing love?
