Cultural Perspectives Of Love
<p>Love has had a presence in this world since humans basically evolved. But over time, this universally experienced human drive has changed. Not only has it changed, but it has also been interpreted and expressed differently in different cultures. There are seven universal emotions, anger, contempt, disgust, enjoyment, fear, sadness, and surprise. These were developed by Paul Ekman and have been studied extensively since. They exist across time periods, across cultures, across age groups. A tribe in Indonesia that has experienced nothing outside of its boundaries or a working man on Wallstreet, can identify all 7 with the same accuracy. These emotions exist in art, in literature, in philosophy, in everything. But love is not one of them. Love is universal also, there is no society on Earth, yet discovered, that does not experience love. There has been no recorded time period that has not had love stories. Love hasn’t disappeared ever. It has always been a consistent theme through religion, art, and society. However, love, unlike the big 7, changes. It has much to do with the time period, societal norms, and culture. Love exists but is experienced differently over time, culture, and age.</p>
