-Many Americans claim to believe that “love is blind” and that romance can spring up anywhere, as long as 2 people have chemistry. Chapter 14, however, argues that Cupid’s arrow is largely aimed by society. What social factors play into the mate selection process? Explain.
Then, watch ONE of the following: (YOU CHOOSE ONE; whichever works better for you)
-Option 1: documentary/biography “Meet the Patels” (available on Netflix)
-Option 2: film “The Big Sick” (available on Netflix)
Be sure to discuss what the main characters are going through (either Revi Patel for “Meet the Patels,” or Kumail Nanjiani for “The Big Sick”), relates to the concepts presented in the text for this chapter.
Lastly, examine your own relationships (past, present, anticipated future, etc.) and discuss how these social factors influenced your own mate selection. Do you see any patterns in the people you tend to date and/or circumstances? Describe these phenomena from your life in sociological terms from the text.
