The authors use the evidence of love in Western culture to draw attention to the fact that our modern concept of love is a construct originating from the medieval ages of courtly love, up until now with movies like Titanic and The Notebook. Since love is an ever-changing concept, only animals with a language can communicate these constructs of love, meaning that only humans can feel love, because we are the only known animals to communicate through verbal language  on Earth. -F.L. ]]> 2023-02-01 19:40:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ginamandracchia2/d0dyvy9jzdb6qoxx/wish/2465145238 lharoian0001 https://padlet.com/ginamandracchia2/d0dyvy9jzdb6qoxx/wish/2465145366 according to "cant help falling in love" by elvis presley, love is uncontrollable. we belong to the ones we love, and would sacrifice everything to move heaven and earth together for that person.]]> 2023-02-01 19:41:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ginamandracchia2/d0dyvy9jzdb6qoxx/wish/2465145366 https://padlet.com/ginamandracchia2/d0dyvy9jzdb6qoxx/wish/2465145676 According to "The Brain Love" Romantic love is one of the most addictive substances on earth.]]> 2023-02-01 19:41:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ginamandracchia2/d0dyvy9jzdb6qoxx/wish/2465145676 pdejeroni0002 https://padlet.com/ginamandracchia2/d0dyvy9jzdb6qoxx/wish/2465145814 According to Fragonard in the painting " The Swing", love is a delicate, feminine, and light-skinned woman.

Such as when Dessa had gone into the MRI scan and compared her ex-boyfriend at the time to a random man that had looked similar to him to see if her brain would react the same way. This shows us that we can change how we feel about a certain person or thing in our brain but it takes time. The scientist Dessa had worked with helped her understand that love in the brain is nothing but a small bubble that is in the middle of the brain. Nothing more and nothing less.

It can’t be controlled, curated or switched on or off, Yet it is powerful enough to drive us to create new life or destroy it. Experts in the field of science study love by conducting research, they scan and analyze the human brain where “love” happens, which is the ventral tegmental area. The evidence they look for is the amount of activity happening inside the brain circuits and brain pathways.

Animals can feel the sensations of love, but for humans we feel the emotion, and direct it towards someone or something. This is because we have a language to communicate our love through and we can also forward our thoughts into the love we feel. Animals can show their affection in different ways, but they don't actually feel the emotion of love. Experts in the field of animal love state," The idea of "perfection" is not objective; you've imagined something in your mind that cannot be perceived with the senses! It follows then that this unique imaginative ability is made possible by language." This means that since animals don't exactly have a language to communicate the emotion of love they cannot love you. They can of course show their affection by being close to you, licking you, resting on you, but then cannot love how us humans love. ]]> 2023-02-02 06:18:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ginamandracchia2/d0dyvy9jzdb6qoxx/wish/2465666279 ldemirts0002 https://padlet.com/ginamandracchia2/d0dyvy9jzdb6qoxx/wish/2465719644 1) According to Yayoi Kusama, love is a complicated maze filled with happiness and pain.

As an English teacher, Catron studies words and their denotations and connotations and has noticed the words we use in our metaphors about love are words associated with hurt, accidents, or (mental) illness.
