Affection

Our topic for honors is affection, human touch, and in general, love.  One article was about the nature of affection and talked about an experiment done on monkeys to emphasize the importance of affection.  Another article was about human touch and how we need to stop talking so much and start touching.  In a good way, that is.  Not the molesting part.

  1. Is the harry Harlow article, as described here, really about love?  Or is it about touch?  Or something else?

I believe it was about touch more so than love.  Animals cannot necessarily understand love.  Well, they could, but their primal instincts kick in more so than the actual thought of love.

2. Can the findings by Harlow relate to adults or is it limited to childrearing practices?

It can relate to adults.  But it is much harder to find the relation.  It is extremely easy to find the relationship in childrearing.

3. If you accept the Harlow findings, does our need for touch disappear as we mature?

I accept his findings.  I have seen enough examples to know that Harlow is correct, at least in terms of creating a person capable to fit into society’s standards nowadays.

 

  1. Do you agree with what Michael Young argues in this article?  What do you think can be done to permit more tactile communicating?

Yes, I do.  I have no idea how to permit more tactile communicating.

2. Do you think your most intimate relationships would be stronger if you didn’t have to meet all of your needs to touch and be touched?  Would you feel comfortable letting your significant other fulfill some of their needs by, for example, hugging, holding hands with, and being touched by others?

I am a guy so if I had a significant other, it would be a woman.  I might be wrong but I believe that women touch each other all the time.  They are simply more open to touch.  Possibly due to their inherent mother nature.  As for intimate relationships, I have not had a relationship just yet with a girlfriend.  So, no idea.  I have been focusing on other areas of my life.

Also, a fairy tale regarding the banking companies intentions when talking about home foreclosure is that the standard bank will not take my payments. There is a certain quantity of time that the bank can take payments from time to time. If you are way too deep inside hole, they should commonly desire that you pay the actual payment in full. However, that doesn’t mean that they will not take any sort of repayments at all. In case you and the bank can manage to work one thing out, the actual foreclosure procedure may end.
