Should we follow the "Perfect couple" stereotype?

Everybody knows the meaning of the word love, everybody wants to fall for the love, but we really know the meaning and is necessary to have a perfect couple to fall for it just to be loved for other men or women. When we say perfect couple we are talking about the expectation that we all have of our couple. According to (Urban Dictionary, 2017): “The perfect couple is what everyone dreams about. The perfect couple is when two best friends get together. This couple is what everyone wants in a relationship. These two can talk about anything, always be honest with each other”. It means that perfect couple is the idea that we have about the ideal pair, in other words the stereotype that we have to the opposite gender, it could be physical or sentimental that depends on the person.

Stereotypes in the perfect couple (for women and men)
As the majority of the people know, there are many stereotypes about a perfect couple and the most common of their, is the necessity of the love in a relationship and this is because the couple can keep the relation and express what they really fell, but we know that with the pass of the time, the things was changing. Nowadays exist the interest between a couples, could be in the man or in the woman. In the case of the man, he need someone to make his necessities, and with the woman, she need someone to protect and establish her. One of the principal factors that influence this type of behavior, are the Fairy tales (Green, 2012) “Fairy tales are a child’s world of imagination and pleasure, but they also provide a source of inspiration and role models.” Therefore, it creates an idea in the mentality of a child, and also the way of thinking that they have, so they grow up with different perspectives. Another factor that can influence the stereotypes that create about perfect couple is the religion, because there are many people that think that God is necessary in the relationship, because he can keep the love and the feelings, and also you can found the perfect “woman” or “man” with his help.

In based on what we have shown in this blog about the topic “Perfect couple”, the conclusion could be that we, as a human, always are going to follow any type of ideas that were established, some of them are created for having a good relationship between the people that we live or we meet. However, are other ideologies that as old as the human race, the thoughts that we have when we touch almost any kind of topic, those who are called “stereotypes”.
During all our history here in this old planet called “Earth”, as a species, the human kind has invented a lot of stuffs that try to improve the quality of life, these include the “stereotypes”, many types of them and in practically all the circumstances that we could live. One of the most famous stereotypes is the concept that we have of “Perfect Couple” and how this concept changes, a little, depending on the country, therefore the culture, that we focus. Nevertheless, these preconceptions influence in our decisions, making pressure unnecessary that can end up in mistaken paths, so in future is very important to think very well what are we going to do, no matter what people say (even if it sounds as a cliché).

Are there reasons to runaway from home and Thrownaway kids?

Imagen
Nowadays runaway and thrownaway kids from home are common in this society and this terms have different definitions. Runaway means according to (Dictionary, 2017): " to leave a place or person secretly and suddenly" and thrownaway means according to (Thefreedictionary,2017):" A   child   or   teenager   who   has   been   rejected,   ejected,   or   abandoned   by   parents   or   guardians   and   lives   on   the   streets". So, the principal difference is that people who runaway make their own decision to do this and thrownaway are people who are forced to leave their home. The most vulnerable people are young people between 15 and 16 years old due they are in a difficult period where they think that the best option is the one that they have and also they don’t have a good communication with their parents to solve their problems. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/you/article-1374...

Nowadays many teenagers are truant but many of them don’t know the real mean so according to (Cde.ca.gov, 2017): “The California Legislature defined a truant in very precise language.
