Among the saleable list of material items romance has been included both as a commodity and as an exchange means for other commodities. Taking advantage of the feebleness of humans’ inability to control their appetite and conspicuous growth in that weakness, the media has assisted immensely in fueling the concept of love as an idea, a mere delight for entertainment or a clown for the circus.

Question 2

Rios emphasizes on both cultural and structural aspects that have majorly contributed to the incarceration of the young men in the urban setups. The fact that the young men in the urban centers have lost hope in the police and the criminal system is enough to qualify this (Pettit, Becky and Western, page.154).

Ideally, balancing the two contrasting and conflicting interests would be the most essential in this case. That notwithstanding I wish to deliver my side of the bargain. It is my contention that indeed the ...
