Blog 54: Captain's Log "The Captain's Decision"
The captain has to make the decision on what to type his Common Place paper on. He has it narrowed down to how the ideal relationships created by Hollywood tend to leave out the major flaws or challenges that come with them. The compelling part of the article was poorly outlines in that people need to be aware that when looking at their own relationship they cannot base their ideals on these dreams created by movies. Granted that the movies provide adventures and danger for the couples, but the simple everyday challenges are overlooked. These minor imperfections that are left out are usually what tear them apart and sometimes it is because one or both of the people in the relationship have unrealistic standards for the other. The captain is going to make a better attempt at making this more obvious in his paper. He is happy to see that 1 out of 11 people from class caught the humor/annoying fact that the relationship between Penny and Leonard did not actually occur until season 2 and ended in season 3. Also, the fact that Leonard and Penny from The Big Bang Theory are a couple that you are not likely to see, but their relationship does portray many of the complications that arise in real relationships. So the captain has decided to ask you what you the "readers" want to read about in this aspect. Have you found yourself or someone else holding unrealistic standards on someone? Have you experienced these imperfections in real relationships that tend to be let out in movies?

I think the unrealistic standards are that somehow they "own" one another and have a say so about everything they do. Now I realize that I am pretty young, but it seems like the mature relationships that I witness have a mutual respect and trust for one another. I think this does not come up in movies very often, which may lead to the complications you are talking about.
