Students may react to the personal issues raised, so teachers are advised to have prepared the class with suggestions on how to cope with their feelings, e.g., a guidance counsellor or help line. A reminder should be given to the class to keep other people’s reactions confidential. 

A Q&A session recorded in 1995 representing a cross-section of Canadian society. Topics respectfully discussed include arranged marriages, polygamy, monogamy, alternative lifestyles, fidelity, love and lust. Ideal for class discussion or essay topics. Is Canadian society still facing the same social upheaval felt in the 1990s? Are there differences between living together and being married? What is the role of love in forming a new relationship? In what ways has Canadian society changed its views on love and marriage since 1995?
