My argumentative paper will be focusing on the effects of oxytocin in the human system. Is oxytocin the only driving factor to creating the emotion of love? I decided to choose this topic over the others due to the wide audience it may affect and mostly because I find Chemistry very intriguing. I found it fascinating to learn that a chemical, such as oxytocin, is released in your body to create a feeling of trust and even a sensation of love. I know so little about the subject that I feel the need to expand my knowledge to grasp a stronger comprehension of the mysterious emotion of love and to find out whether it is a force by it self or just a chemical breaking equilibrium.
What, where, when, and how? Oxytocin, a chemical I know to release in the bodies of human beings to create a sense of trust and an emotion of love. I have also learned perusing through the web that oxytocin is not only found in humans, but in animals as well. Giving them the instincts they need to survive labor and the early ages of life. That is quite all I know on the subject. What I would find interesting in my further research is what oxytocin is made of, where exactly does it release and where does it go, when if at all do our oxytocin levels rise or decline, and how does this one chemical hold the power to creating one of the worlds strongest driving factors, love? In addition to my initial questions, are there any dangers in having too much or too little oxytocin in your body? Does it decrease with age and the dulling of emotions? Are emotions directly correlated to oxytocin and other chemicals?
