My topic

The title of my blog is the controversy with interracial couples. My topic is basically going to cover the dynamics of interracial couples and how their place in society has evolved. This is an extremely significant topic, because it touches and affects many lives. Although, their is an increasing body of research on this topic, I feel this subgroup of couples may be underrepresented in the research of issues in today's relationships. Interracial couples are obviously no different than same race couples in many areas of their relationship; however, undoubtedly because of the social implications their are specific issues that only interracial couples are affected by. Because of these certain issues, the dynamics of the relationship are also affected, therefore this topic is significant due to the information that can be uncovered and contributed to relationship science through further examination. The origin of the issue is hard to pinpoint as people have been dating interracially for a long time. Because this is something that was not widely accepted historically, most research on the topic is moderately recent. This topic is interesting to me for a number of different reasons. First, I have always been extremely interested in relationship science in general, so I knew that I wanted to do a blog pertaining to this area. Furthermore, I have personal experience through myself, but also through friends, with interracial couples and some of the issues that accompany them and thought I would really be intrigued by this topic. I knew I could learn a lot and this was a topic that i have always found interesting. I also thought I would gain some great insight to the topic and apply what I learn to life situations, so this was the perfect opportunity to explore.
