Bend It Like Beckham Relational Development

At this stage, the group begins to realize the more positive points of individuals within the group, which promotes the development of trust and respect which begins to build group cohesion. The next stage is the performing stage, which is typical of high-performing teams that are able to function as a group and figure out various options to get the job done smoothly and effectively without supervision. The final stage is the adjourning phase, which is the final step in completing tasks and breaking up the team.

Everyone has a best friend; someone they can trust and be close with. Well in this film being close to a friend is viewed as them two being homosexual. Jess and Jules are best friends in this movie and spend a lot of time together, but when Juels mother sees them two hugging she jumps to conclusion that her daughter is a lesbian with Jess. It is seen as a shock, and is used in a comical

Identifying the terms was easy enough throughout the entire film – initiating the relationship when they met through a mutual good friend of theirs, experimenting as they spoke to each other about different topics during their trip to New York. Terminating their relationship was especially easy to identify – Sally was always particularly happy to terminate their relationship during the times that they seemed to grow apart (she also did not particularly enjoy his presence when they had just met). Identifying the Intensifying stage was easy enough when they met for the third time and they began to speak more without openly insulting each other and began to spend more time with each other and do certain domestic things with each other.

I see relationships as being integral and ensure that there is open communication with whanau, tamariki and the teaching team. I am sensitive to each child’s needs and build reciprocal relationships that enhance learning outcomes. I take time to actively listen to children and have rich conversations that challenge children’s thinking.

Effective communication is an important part in the development of positive relationships with children. Passing on information quickly and that is easy to understand can help you and the child feel comfortable in each other's presence. This is important when using modelling behaviour and understandable language to communicate how to act in the classroom and in social situations. It can help you to feel confident that the child is aware of what is being asked of them, and that you understand each other. Effective communication develops a level of trust, so that a child will feel comfortable if they need to share information with you.

Although this mother-daughter relationship may seem rocky at times, it does have a solid foundation. Beyond the arguing and the tears, this mother-daughter relationship is one that will never be broken. Kathryn is extremely loving and supportive of Bay, regardless of their disagreements. When something goes wrong, Bay knows that she can always run to her mother as opposed to her father. Kathryn is there with encouraging words and warm hugs that stop any tears. Through thick and thin, Kathryn and Bay love each other unconditionally, and that's what makes this relationship so

They progress beyond casual dating and find out yourself has a strong feeling and attraction toward another person. When that happens, I see it as Intensifying. The third stage is Intensifying. During this stage, Pat and Tiffany becomes less formal and other people will think they are committed to each other. Tiffany begins to use the word “we” more often and she meets Pat’s family. Their conversation has no limitation and they are freely to discuss mostly anything. However, their relationship starts to go downhill when Pat finds out the letter was not deliver to his wife and she never made any contact with Pat’s wife. Pat gets upset and they enter a stage called Circumscribing. In Circumscribing, partners will limit their conversation both quantity, quality, and tend to avoid certain subjects and will have boundaries in their personal space. When Pat walks in to the practice room, he simply says, “Hey” and sits down without a word. Tiffany knew something was wrong. Similarly, she sat down and said nothing. During this scene, we see less quantity of conversation. They restrict the quality of conversation. In the same scene, Pat and Tiffany only exchange less than five words. They did not communicate about the issue at hand that would lead to an argument. Tiffany and Pat both sat away from each other and maintain their own personal space. The relationship worsen and we enter the next stage, Stagnating. In this stage, partners feel “stuck” or “trapped”. The lack of verbal communication can be deadly to end the relationship. In the “tie” scene, Tiffany feels trapped because she had to perform the dance with Pat while acting they are alright. In reality, she is very upset as Pat anticipate his reunion with Nikki (Pat’s wife). The tension in the tie scene was not show verbally but Tiffany was very frustrated and even exploded her feeling by grunting and walking away when she had trouble fixing Pat’s tie. In this

The bonding stage of a relationship occurs when “the parties make symbolic public gestures to show the world that their relationship exists” (Adler and

Forming close relationships is the most important thing humans do. Our entire lives are made up of the successful efforts and the not so successful attempts. The most unique and tricky type of relationship to form and maintain is the romantic relationship. In the chapter, Relationship Connection, Harvey and Pauwels give us an in depth analysis of a tool that can help romantic couples maintain and increase closeness. This idea is called minding the relationship or minding. Minding, according to Harvey and Pauwels, is the “reciprocal knowing process that occurs nonstop throughout the history of the relationship and that involves a complex package of interrelated thoughts, feelings, and behaviors”.

Lastly the third stage is called the intensifying stage, during which the relationship becomes less formal. The two people involved will start to reveal their personal information and analyze each other’s personal impression. Most of the time the two will find ways to strengthen the interpersonal development, such as gifts, hanging out more often and expecting a commitment within the relationship. The last two stages of the coming together part of the model are called integration and bonding. During the integration stage the two people come closer and can fall in love or create a closer friendship. Lastly there is the bonding stage during which the two will announce their relationship to everyone, this is the point where the relationship is indefinite.

The film documents their struggles as both girls strive to find acceptance as athletes. Jess and Jules both work to overcome the resistance of her family, especially their mother. Mrs Bhamra wants Jess to focus on learning domestic skills such as cooking and cleaning. Jules’ mum wants her to conform to the very feminine female stereotypes. We see Jess fall in love with her Irish football coach, Joe which is also going against her parents wishes that she marries a ‘nice Indian boy’.
