Modern-Day Love: Lessons from Shrek

Many of us find ourselves navigating the tricky field of requirements, self-image, and societal narratives in the ever-changing world of modern romance. The nostalgic 2001 movie "Shrek" offers an excellent analogy to understand these complex dynamics. I watched the Mallorybros Podcast episode 203 and was presented with this analogy. I have broken down 4 examples of how modern dating is reflected in the characters of Shrek, Fiona, Lord Farquaad, Donkey and Dragon.

Disclaimer: I am not a love doctor. I have had my fair share of romantic wins and losses, and I am still learning. These are just my observations.

This is truly one of the most beautiful forms of providing consideration and thoughtfulness out of pure genuine love.

Social media and its grip on my generation and the one behind it..

I could be wrong but…

I’ve noticed the negative impact that social media has played in our society. Each year social media continues to evolve and at the same rate it is becoming harder for people to put down their devices.

From my perspective, my generation (Gen Z ‘95-‘10 IMO) had the golden years of technology. Very few if any Ads, quality humor, less restrictions, etc. I grew up on X-Box 360, Vine, hand- held games, Blockbuster for movies, and actual toys that fueled a childs imagination. Authentic technological experiences (if that is even a phrase), nothing more nothing less. Of course there were cons but having technology wasn’t as bad as it now. Being an ipad kid for me was just a tablet with youtube playing, simple. I didn’t get my first phone till I was in 5th grade (which I couldn’t take to school or use until I was done school work), my use of technology didn’t begin to grow until I got to high school, once I got there the age of technology became to skyrocket and now I feel that we are at the beginning of a lost society.

Nowadays, just about everyone has a cellular device (literally, kids). And you can’t convince me that parental guidance/controls are completely limiting what they can and can’t see, kids are smart and they know how to work around these parental controls. I know because my generation is the pioneer for such thing. The phrase “iPad kid” is so vague now, anyone with a phone can be labeled that. Kids (or anyone 17 and younger lol) have been increasingly interested in activities that people my age (20) and up find crazy for someone that age to be doing. Ex: drugs, lust, violence, etc. All of which is influenced by technology and what’s available on social media for there minds to consume. As of lately I continue to hear my peers say “these new kids something” or “kids are doomed” and the only thing to blame is technology.

Unfortunately, it’s only going to get worse. We have social media platforms that push negative media out and it affects not only adults but the youth. Kids are now having “TikTok themed parties” where they just huddle up and do a TikTok dances or an influencer pulls up and does it with them. A lot of things nowadays are for “likes and attention” it doesn’t feel like we are in an authentic society with real genuine relationships.

I wish there was a way to improve the nature of technology but with advances in AI technology it’s only going to get worse, you can literally do anything with AI. Some people think it’s cool, others think it’s scary. I think it’s both, on one end it can be very beneficial to society and our way of life and on the other end, it could be the beginning of the end. If people can make videos with someone’s face and animated to make it do movements then you know the future is fried lol.

Me personally, all I can do is continue to pray and stay out the way. Let’s teach the youth to go touch grass and explore their own personal interest on their own. Technology is bad but I could be wrong…
