Voyage to Romance tells a story about a young French girl working in a café, catering to American GI's. Renee had dreamed of college and a career, but that was financially impossible for her. She decided that marriage was her next-best option. After knowing Rob for several months, she felt that she had met her own true love. A golden opportunity to know him better came when he said how much he missed home and family, so she invited him to her home for dinner. However, she hadn't considered a potential problem by doing so. Ria., her pretty older sister, nearer Rob's age, was down over a recent breakup with her long-time boyfriend and ready to play the field. And Rob was there to play with her. Renee was heartbroken. Would she ever find anyone like Rob? Would her wish come true that he would fall in love with her, after all? Or, was she to lose the man she loved and, perhaps, her sister too?
Social media is replete with images of 'perfection'. But many are unrealistic and contribute to a pervasive sense of never being good enough: not thin enough; not pretty enough; not cool enough. Try too hard and you risk being condemned for being ‘attention-seeking’, don't try hard enough and you're slacking. Rosalind Gill challenges polarized perspectives that see young women as either passive victims of social media or as savvy digital natives. She argues the real picture is far more ambivalent. Getting likes and followers and feeling connected to friends feels fantastic, but posting material and worrying about 'haters' causes significant anxieties. Gill uses young women's own words to show how they feel watched all the time; worry about getting things wrong; and struggle to live up to an ideal of being 'perfect' yet at the same time ‘real’. It's the wake-up call we all need.
Personal violence is often driven by emotion. Emotion determines to what extent that violence is taken. Once the violence is released, emotion takes a sidestep to satisfaction. But satisfaction is short-lived, then emotion is once more in control. To what ends will we go?
