you will be required to submit a 800-1000 word personal reflection essay in which you summarise the main points made by your team in the debate, and in which you also come to your own conclusions about the philosophical question at hand. You may therefore include references to the opposing team’s arguments, as well as to your own thoughts and ideas drawn from further research.AutoSave @orr = Dv @ 0 Document1 Home Insert Draw Design

£2)="" ee="" ne——+="" 145%="" love="" is="" often="" portrayed="" as="" a="" powerful="" force,="" something="" that="" can="" inspire="" greatness="" in="" the="" lover.="" love="" is a="" set="" of="" emotions="" and="" behaviours="" characterized="" by="" intimacy,="" passion,="" and="" commitment.="" we="" sing="" about="" it,="" write="" about="" it="" and="" watch="" movies="" about="" it,="" but="" when="" you="" think="" about="" it,="" falling="" in="" love="" is="" crazy="" and="" maybe="" even="" weird.="" alternatively,="" it="" is="" something="" that="" can="" make="" the="" lover="" act="" like="" a="" fool.="" love="" can="" be="" the="" greatest="" feeling="" in="" the="" world,="" but="" it="" can="" also="" be="" utterly="" devastating="" when="" it="" doesn’t="" work="" out.="" love="" makes="" us="" feel="" and="" do="" things="" we="" usually="" wouldn’t="" do="" under="" any="" other="" circumstances.="" first,="" it="" physically="" affects="" our="" hormones="" and="" brain. in="" fact,="" scientists="" have="" shown="" that="" love="" affects="" the="" brain="" in="" a="" way="" like="" cocaine="" addiction.="" not="" only="" that,="" it="" also="" affects="" us="" psychologically="" and="" behaviourally.="" we="" go="" beyond="" the="" rules="" and="" systems="" to="" fulfil="" our="" needs="" and="" interest.="" we="" put="" ourselves="" before="" anyone="" and="" anything="" else="" except="" for="" the="" term="" ‘love’.="" love="" is="" the="" only="" experience="" in="" the="" entire="" world="" that="" makes="" us="" choose="" our="" partner’s="" preferences="" and="" interests="" before="" ourselves.="" we="" even="" jeopardise="" our="" self-respect="" in="" the="" process="" which="" makes="" us="" go="" beyond="" our="" self-interest.="" we="" become="" non-egocentric,="" non-arrogant,="" and="" non-self-centred.="" we="" tend="" to="" do="" things="" out="" of="" our="" comfort="" zone="" to="" ensure="" our="" partner="" feels="" loved="" and="" cared="" for.="" love="" does="" involve="" self-interest,="" it’s="" not="" like="" we="" are="" utterly="" bound="" to="" do="" the="" things="" just="" our="" partner="" likes="" giving="" up="" our="" interests="" and="" needs.="" it="" just="" means="" we="" sometimes="" are="" so="" considerate="" about="" our="" partner’s="" feelings="" and="" enthusiasm="" towards="" certain="" things="" that="" we="" are="" so="" willing="" to="" get="" out="" of="" the="" bubble="" wrap="" of="" self-interest="" and="" likeliness.="" we="" might="" even="" look="" like="" complete="" idiots="" doing="" the="" things="" we="" literally="" have="" no="" idea="" about,="" however,="" that="" doesn’t="" seem="" to="" bother="" us="" if="" your="" partner="" enjoys="" it.="" for="" example="" boys,="" that="" may="" mean="" taking="" a="" yoga="" class="" or="" taking="" their="" girlfriends="" for="" a="" pedicure="" and="" hair="" dressing.="" similarly,="" girls="" frequently="" engage="" in="" sports,="" fifa,="" and="" video="" games="" to="" please="" their="" partners="" even="" though="" they="" don't="" really="" seem="" to="" enjoy="" doing="" so.="" there="" are="" times="" when="" you="" do="" something="" you="" don't="" enjoy,="" like="" watching="" their="" favourite="" television="" with="" them="" even="" if="" you="" hate="" it.="" we="" have="" also="" seen="" people="" moving="" across="" the="" country,="" even="" to="" a="" different="" country,="" to="" support="" their="" partner’s="" achievement="" and="" happiness.="" this="" is="" usually="" when="" you="" find="" out="" if="" you="" can="" have="" fun="" together,="" you’d="" like="" to="" get="" to="" know="" each="" other="" more="" than="" just="" superficially.="" love="" has="" a="" complicated="" relationship="" with="" autonomy="" which="" is="" a="" crucial="" component="" of="" being="" a="" free="" and="" responsible="" human="" being="" and="" the="" ability="" to="" plan="" and="" manage="" our="" life.="" love="" can="" threaten="" autonomy.="" we="" lose="" control="" over="" both="" major="" and="" little="" life="" decisions="" when="" we="" become="" emotionally="" invested="" in="" another="" person,="" schedule="" our="" lives="" around="" them,="" and="" begin="" to="" perceive="" their="" successes="" and="" failures="" as="" our="" own.="" because="" of="" our="" attachment="" to="" others.="" most="" people="" agree="" love="" involves="" some="" degree="" of="" flexibility="" and="" stepping="" outside="" one's="" comfort="" zone.="" we="" prioritise="" others'="" needs="" and="" feelings="" because="" we="" are="" afraid="" of="" losing="" them.=""
