Courtship and dating have changed significantly over the last century. Through online dating as well as dating and hook-up apps, the world of dating today is significantly changed from dating only 15 years ago. In the past, there was more formality to dating, and relationships seemed to take longer to become “serious.†Today, relationships may develop much faster, and with hook-up apps, relationships may not be intended to last. Do courtship and dating have a faster timeline to reach a serious relationship today than they did in the past?
This assignment is an opportunity for you to compare and contrast dating today to dating in the past. Discuss how norms and values have changed over time. Think about how media influences our perceptions of what is normal and acceptable. One of the purposes of this activity is for you to learn about at least one dating site or app and be able to explain the similarities and differences between past and current dating practices.
You will share you findings as a discussion post with images embedded. You will use pictures and words to explain the differences in dating norms.
Helpful information: The New York Times has a section on dating and courtship every week.
