I have to write about a relationship and dissonance in that relationship. What I'm a little sketchy about, and I've checked over my books and asked other friends what their professors said, is if Dissonance can be positive. My Prof, unlike everyone else's, had mentioned that it can and she used the example (we have to write about a question and try to answer it thorugh examples) of her and her friend. Her question was along the line of "What has kept us friends for 40 years?" Reworded, but meaned the same. Well, with my current relationship w/ my S.O. I thought that'd be an excellent topic to write about, rather then bad dissonances. Well, I've run into the problem that I, along with my roommates who have to do, pretty much, the same paper for other teachers, think that I'm heading on the wrong track...
So my question to you, is if there is positive dissonance. The way I understand it is that there can be. Dissonance=the difference between the way a relationship is, and how you'd expect it to be. Normally that'd be negative dissonance, but in the case of my teacher's example, it's positive.
A little help?
Sorry if it's writen like a "scatter-brain" would write it...It's probably because I'm freaking out.
