Attitudes Towards Valentine's Day and Gift Expectations

Since it's V-day, we wanted to rerelease one of our first episodes from 2018 about LOVE. In this episode we explore what happens in our brains when we are struck with love, how sociologists like Charles Cooley and Theodore Kemper see love, and how love can be used as a tool of social control. To better understand this intense emotion, we also discuss Georg Simmel's important concept of the Dyad. Do you agree with sociology's view of love? Tune in to hear our discussion!

P.S. Happy consumerist Valentine's Day, everyone! Xoxo– The Social Breakdown Crew
