The Four Loves, authored by British novelist C.S. Lewis, is often viewed as one of the best books written on the subject of love as it pertains to religion. In the book, Lewis covers many ideas including the four types of love which include: storgé (empathetic love/affection), philia love (the love between friends), Eros (erotic/romantic love), and Agapé (the unconditional ‘God’ love). In this book, Lewis also covers the differences between need and gift love; however, one of the most astounding statements that Lewis makes is in the storgé passage, specifically in the section about affection where he states, “Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our natural lives.” (pg. 53). Lewis also states, "The highest does not stand without the lowest. (pg.9) If affection is part of storgé, which is considered the lowest love, then to obtain the higher loves one must have affection. Furthermore, storgé (commonly referred to as affection) creates stamina in natural relations between people due precisely to that low-level nature it…

What is language? Is it speaking in different ways or is it doing math equations? Is it both? How many languages are there and where did they come from? What exactly does “language” mean in the twenty-first century? Robert K. Logan, a renowned physicist and media ecologist as well as the author of “The Sixth Language”, claims he has the answers. In his work, Logan claims that six languages form an evolutionary chain of languages: speech, writing, math, science, computing and the internet (Logan 2000). Over the years there has been much debate as to what language really is. The American Heritage dictionary defines language as being the “Communication of thoughts and feelings through a system of arbitrary signals, such as voice sounds, gestures, or written symbols” whereas the Random House Dictionary defines language as “a body of words and the systems for their use common to a people who are of the same community or nation, the same geographical area, or the same cultural tradition”. The “six languages” as discussed in Robert K. Logan’s, “The Sixth Language: Learning a Living in the Internet Age”, are unrealistic, irrelevant in today`s society, and simply a way of explaining how the world works.…

According to the author, “What is love?” is a question that knows no barriers, knows no bounds, and knows no age and generation. He also made a statement which I find very agreeable. He said that “love is the most celebrated theme of human existence (…)” I wholeheartedly agree with this statement. No matter who you are, where you’re from, how old you are, or what gender you are, you absolutely, positively have something to say about something is related to love, or when love itself is being talked about. We each have…
