Participation- Make up
I just read an article about the fear of commitment, and the fact that our society has turned that into a bad thing. People talk about others have a fear of getting into a relationship like its a bad thing, when in reality it is way better to take caution when you are making a decision of opening up to someone. People play it off like that person is being selfish but in reality they are really just being honest and upfront about what they want from the get-go. I chose to interview a man in his 50's and we talked about commitment in general and what factors lead to commitment issues. He said that he does not feel like gender has an effect on whether or not someone wants to commit because it really just depends on the person. He was saying that people are not necessarily afraid of commitment, but that it is something that we should take seriously because it makes a difference in your ice. Sometimes relationships lead to even bigger things such as buying a house or having children, so you have to make sure that you are committing to the right person, and for the right reasons. I asked him whether or not media plays a part in commitment issues because people are always looking for more in their lives, and he felt that media definitely plays a huge part in it. He was saying that media is something that is always going to be around, but that it makes people want it all out of a relationship. People want something that is not necessarily possible, so that makes it harder to commit to what they have.
