An essay on romance and passion
The subject of romance and passion is a controversial issue. Many an afternoon has been enjoyed by a family, bonding over the discussion of romance and passion. Until recently considered taboo amongst polite society, romance and passion is featuring more and more in the ideals of the young and upwardly mobile. Crossing many cultural barriers it still draws remarks such as 'I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole' and 'i'd rather eat wasps' from the upper echelons of progressive service sector organisations, trapped by their infamous history. Keeping all of this in mind, in this essay I will examine the major issues.
Social Factors
Comparisons between Roman Society and Medieval Society give a clear picture of the importance of romance and passion to developments in social conduct. I will not insult the readers inteligence by explaining this obvious comparison any further.

Much of the writings of historians display the conquests of the most powerful nations over less powerful ones. Looking at the spectrum represented by a single political party can be reminiscent of comparing chalk and cheese.
In the words of one of the great political analysts Odysseus H. Amster 'Political idealists must ideally deal, for I daily list my ideals politically.' [2] I argue that his insight into romance and passion provided the inspiration for these great words. I feel strongly that if politicians spent less time thinking about romance and passion and put more effort into their family life, that we would have a very different country.
The question which we must each ask ourselves is, will we allow romance and passion to win our vote?

I'll leave you with this quote from Sigourney Schwarzenegger: 'My Daddy loved romance and passion and his Daddy loved romance and passion.'
I think passion has more of an intensity factor to it, romance includes all of the physical aspects you can apply, the wooing of a person. Flowers, chocs, dates, meals etc. Whatever an individual considers 'romantic'. Personally, passion indicates perhaps difficulty in breathing, the heavy lidded, hazy, dreamlike state of almost enjoyable torture. But I don't think that passion is immediate. I don't believe it's the 'love at first sight' thing. I think that's Cupid.
