Response on Dating

        I can understand where they are coming from when they say that more dating can lead to divorce. Younger people often don't want a super serious relationship, so the "hook-up" culture seems more appealing. This, however, causes  more issues than anything else. By hooking up, people don't make the needed connections and that leads to a bad relationship or no relationship at all. This can cause issues later in life, but it doesn't mean that people who hook-up when they are young will have a hard time making a commitment when they are older. People mature as they get older, and more often then not, get over the whole "hooking-up" thing. They then become involved in serious committed relationships
         Hooking-up can be defined as many different things. It can mean kissing, touching or a combination of the both. It really depends on the situation that the two people are in. It is commonly thought that when people say 'I hooked up with him' it is thought that the two people had sex. While it is not always true, it is what most people think. This perception is very heavily influenced by popular culture. Many TV shows portray "hooking-up" as sex, so that is naturally what we think of when we hear 'She hooked up with him!' No matter what culture says, "hooking-up" is dependent upon what the situation is.
