Break it Down!

Hello!! For those that are reading this, thank you, you didn't have to click on my link on facebook, but it excites me that my fellow friends and family are reading my blog. It may not be the most riveting thing but I think its really nice that you are taking time to invest in my school work.  So for this exercise we were told to come up with a inquiry question, mine is relationship analyzing. I want to show the relationship between two different things but how they work together. The second is primary purpose. I explored my topic and thought of questions that help me keep my interest and discover more avenues. Then, I come up with an argument, my main claim or thesis. Lastly, any prior believes, assumptions, or experiences I have had with my topic.

Again, I have never done an exercise like this and this one was a bit more challenging than the others. I found it hard to come up with an argument since I really haven't begun my research yet. Also I found my inquiry question sort of difficult because I want to do so many different subtopic I need it to be broad enough but not too large of a topic. Even though I had a hard time, I still this is was a good exercise that I should practice in the future. It makes you really start to process the research ahead and make your topic specific. Bring your assumptions and experiences to the surface are a good practice too because if you don't realize them, you might write a bias paper. And lets face it, no one wants to read a one sided paper. So here ya are and I hope you enjoy!! Thanks for reading!!


Inquiry Question: What is the relationship being "falling in love" and how your brain functions chemically?

Primary Purpose:

1. Explore: Do sexual relationships cause the brain to release chemicals appose to a non sexual relationship? What do we think love is? What chemicals does the brain give off? What do the chemicals do and what is the purpose of them? Can we really be "blinded" by love? How does your brain function appose to when you are in a relationship?-- what are the similarities and differences? 
2. Argue: When you "fall in love" with someone, your brain gives off chemicals and takes a different effect than when you were not "in love"

I remember in youth group we were talking about sex before marriage. It was not just a normal "Don't have sex before you are married." It was based on actual science and studies done on the human body when they had sex. I remember my youth pastor telling us that the brain gives off chemicals that it wouldn't if there was no sexual relationship. That as you grow old with someone you actually tend to start to look like them. Ever notice that older people start to look more alike? crazy right! Anyway, when you have sex before marriage and break up, its like a divorce. Many teenagers, including myself, go through heart breaks. Their first love is always the hardest one, but is that prepping us for divorce? I think that sometimes when you have sex before marriage and break up it gives marriage less meaning. Almost like marriage isn't important. I mean if you are already having sex, living together, and function like a married couple, whats the difference between marriage? A ring on your finger? I believe that is why the divorce rate is so high in today's society. If you were to wait to have sex there is a purpose to getting married and it makes the "big day" even greater. I feel as though to many people think sex is sex, nothing special, just something people do whenever they want. They do not have to love the person or even know the person. but what they don't know its that it is effecting them mentally not just physically.  I truly believe that if more people knew about the process the brain goes though they might rethink their actions.
