hyperreality--

hyperreality has definitely affected the American perception of love and relationship. It is seen everywhere, from tv to the Internet. With hyperreality, people can "make up a new reality that has completely misrepresented their true reality". Take Myspace for example. We hear about stories all the time on the news about a raping or kidnapping of a girl or boy that thought they were hooking up with a man or woman that seemed fine to them. Their profile may have said a 19 yr old guy that is very romantic and all that stuff, but come to fin\d out its a old child molester. Another example of where hyperreality is seen is on popular television shows. hyperreality "is an image without resemblance". In common shows it may show and teach that a sexually driven life is comepletely fine and that there is nothing wrong with one night stands and promiscuity. Hyperreality is everywhere and truly messes with the perception of what love and relationship is all about
