Progress Report (1)

When we first discuss, trying to come up with the topic of our final project, Monica says since she knows some famous dating spots in SL (http://www.slindex.com/secondlife/Romance.htm), maybe we can just visit these places and interview the couples there about their attitudes toward romantic relationship in SL. We all think it sounds interesting, besides, those spots are really beautiful; what's more, this topic can be elevated to moral issue (http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2008/nov/14/second-life-virtual-worlds-dating). Since nowadays Internet has almost become part of our lives, many people start to pursue and enjoy romantic relationships in virtual world. But if they've already had lovers in real life, do their romantic relationships in SL become adulteries? Should they be loyal to their relationships either in real life or in SL, or both? How? Well, different people have different answers to these questions, and that's what we're going to probe into through our final project. Thus we've decided our topic---"Values of Romantic Relationship in SL".
To continue our progress, the next step we'll conduct a survey in SL; but before that, we'll have to work out a questionnaire first. And then each of us is expected to interview 1-2 couples in SL so that we can discuss based on the results we get from them.
