In the contemporary U.S. an individual’s choice of partner – and related decisions about dating, sex,
cohabitation, marriage, the division of household responsibilities, or remaining single – are typically
understood as some of the most intimate, personal, decisions that one will make in a lifetime. Are they?
In this essay, consider the ways in which our individual “choices” are constrained by social (including
economic, legal, cultural, and structural) factors presented during Week 2. How does the influence of
these external forces shape your understanding of “falling in love” or “finding the one” – if at all?
Papers should be 6-8 double-spaced pages long, and should include a thesis statement and title. Papers
should make direct references to course material, which may be cited parenthetically in the text as
(Author Page#) or (Lecture). Only course material should be used for this assignment; no outside
sources should be used. A works cited page is not necessary. A cover page is also unnecessary, but
headers (including title) should be single-spaced. Please use standard fonts, font sizes (11 or 12), and
margins (1 inch), and number your pages.
I will attach the course material. You do not have to use all the sources!
Thank you! 🙂
