Santa Monica College Sex in The City Questions

Instructions

Watch the video clips from the hit TV show, Sex in the City.

In this episode, Carrie’s love interest, ‘Berger’ shows up unexpectedly on her doorstep with flowers in hand. After a rough week where Carrie and Berger seemed to end their relationship, Berger confesses his intentions to work on a romantic relationship with Carrie after declaring his love for her. Carrie takes Berger back. In the morning, Carrie finds that Berger has left her apartment but not before leaving her “a note”.

In your perspective, did Berger select an appropriate or inappropriate channel of communication (approach) for the situation (ending a relationship, or at least, deciding he wasn’t up to the commitment as he had promised)?

Here are 4 elements to address in your post:

• Cite text or concepts or cite author and page #.
• What is your reaction to Berger’s note?
• Has anyone ended a relationship with you via text message or other similar methods?
• Have you used a note, chat or text to break up a romantic relationship? Why yes, why no?
• Do you consider leaving a note (or text) an appropriate channel of communication under these circumstances? Why yes, why no?
