Problem
Changing Relationships: What do you think accounts for the changing relationships we are seeing during emerging and young adulthood (e.g. hooking up instead of dating, cohabitating instead of marrying, divorce instead of staying together)?
a) The supplemental reading suggests online dating and hook-up apps may account for it. Do you agree?
b) What are potential problems of these changes? Potential benefits?
c) Taking both potential costs and benefits into account, do you think these changes are more positive or negative?
Relationship Preference: What kind of relationship do you prefer?
a) What are the advantages and disadvantages of that type of relationship? Has the kind of relationship you prefer changed over time?
b) Do you think that there is one kind of relationship for which everyone should strive? If so, why? If not, why not?
