How Relationships Have Changed Over The Last 43 Years

Objective – Explain basic sociological concepts of the family, marriage, and intimate relationships. (Pg. 365)

Marriage is a relationship is about coming together in which two people have promised themselves being with each other. However, marriage in the United States has changed in the 1950s from what it is today. Marriage in the 1950s was different because there was no such idea of a divorce because women had to fix their marriage. (Tartakovsky). Yet, marriage that occurs today people can get a divorce in America. Marriage is better today in America than in the 1950s because of more freedom and not being pressured into marriage in society. This time period 2015 for me is more preferable to live in for marriages instead of in the 1950s. Although marriage is a union between two people, there is a

The generation of today enjoys their lives largely revolving around technology. You can go to school online, buy all of your groceries from your home, and make video conference calls around the world. Naturally, in order to meet these desires, the world of online dating has flourished. Millions of people are signing up for a variety of websites that guarantee happiness for all different types of people.

Carl explain the dynamics of the family and how important it was to have Don at the initiation of the family session, and asked the family to think if they wanted to be a part of the family they are in, and if they did to call and set up a time for the next session with Don include. Dave did not hesitate and agreed to set up an appointment then and there; he looked over at his wife and asked he if she agreed. Carolyn agreed and towards the end of the session Carl connected with Laura the youngest daughter by engaging her in dialog and asking what she thought about everything that was going on in the family. By doing this Carl was able to show the family how every member of the family has a valuable place in therapy, and it is not just about one person.

I didn’t choose this question, but if I had I would've agreed that one of the turning points in the Raising Cain documentary was how involved Kevin's parents were in their sons life. Especially his mother who as soon Kevin was diagnosed with ADHD put him on medication that can help him focus, and be more controlled. If his mother hadn’t taken the step she did to medicate her son he would be out of control, and be in the failing range. I also agree that his teacher Mr. Oteri was a great support for Kevin. Mr. Oteri stayed after school hours to help not only Kevin but other kids that needed extra time to learn the material they discussed in class, and give an example that he cares for them. Also Mr. Oteri sending Kevin out on walks around the school instead of the principal showcases how much he cares for Kevin's well being and understands that he’s not being rude with his energetic state but that he has a condition and knows to trust Kevin to walk by himself. A key point is trust because not many teachers trust students to walk around without adult supervision and Mr. Oteri trusts Kevin enough to allow him to take walks. That shows trust, and a teacher that cares for his students success academically.

The importance of a strong relationship between the African American community and China is for the relationship to be ongoing. The relationship between the two must consistently continue to grow. They have to continue to develop new ways to interact with one another, understand culture and break down barriers between them. Throughout history, the acceptance for African American was not quite ideal. They had many hardships that created downfalls for them. Reconstructing the truth of being African American was hard for them. That’s why the significant relationship between China and the African American community is important. African Americans today make major contributions to China historical and today society— business, arts and entertainment,

I also feel sad for the parents to see that both of their children burned in front of them and they could’ve prevented it from not lying to them in the first place and let them grow up as what they wanted to grow up as. I also believe that Dr.Money knew what he was doing and he wanted nothing more than fame for his theories and for his books. He did not care about how it would affect David, and he just wanted everyone to know the theory worked. Dr.Money was a sick doctor, who took advantage of the parents and their situation. What he did was a crime and he deserves to pay for what he did to the family and he should’ve done prison time for what he was doing was not

This shows that even siblings that were raised together can be so different. Maggie has let her burn marks take over her life.

The biggest mistake of any adult who has seen Lisa including peers, teachers or other family members associated with the Steinberg family. Though who is at fault is Hedda for being not only the worst caregiver and mother to Lisa she failed this little girl because she has kept quiet and has received an abuse before Lisa came to their custody and always spoke good about her husband. That reason is due to the fact that both are drug users, which makes it worse and could play a major factor to Lisa’s death. A case like this little girl's death comes with a price, but the sad truth is both parents are guilty Joel Steinberg for being a child abuser and woman beater not giving the proper affection for Lisa nor being a father instead he is seen as a monster who deserves no type of remorse while his companion Hedda an accomplice for letting a monster kill a little innocent girl who had no fault for anything all because she wanted to do drugs while the little Lisa was in pain alone with no one to help

In regards to the low marital satisfaction in the 60s- it wasn’t surprising since many people were just rushing almost blindly into marriage. This rushing to be socially accepted caused many marriages to quickly spiral downhill soon after getting married. I would assume that many couples, wives, in particular, were suffering mentally and facing the opposite effects of high marital satisfaction. The women would usually get the worst of it because the majority are stuck in the homemaker role with more time on their hands to experience the mental collapse and think on the issues.

The patriarchal and patrilineal society of Shakespeare’s era often made it difficult for women to be on the same level as men in terms of property, money, and rights. What is not often mentioned is the way in which even male-male relationships were glorified as well. In a society which thought males to be the best gender, it is not surprising that male friendships would be put above that of even the marriage of a man and wife. William Shakespeare and Mario DiGangi explore this concept in Shakespeare’s play, The Winter’s Tale and ensuing critical essays, respectively. Shakespeare sets up this concept through the glorification of the friendship (or, possibly more than a friendship) between Polixenes and Leontes as well as inferiorizing all feminized characters in the play. Through these marital fissures, Shakespeare’s play—along with DiGangi’s secondary essays—shows that conjugal happiness is nearly impossible in his society for Hermione and Leontes, furthering the divide between men and women.

I remember the time when inferiority robbed me of my confidence to express the potential of my little mind. The thought of an immature age prevents my soul to visibly manifest its yearning to impart even a tiny amount of knowledge. I began to tread the path of life feeling incomplete and disappointed as I’m consistently bothered by my cowardice. What could be the rationality behind my incapability to convey?

First, when people have their own perspective of relationship on how they should be maintained compared to how society or different cultures depict relationships. Because the five factors of personal attraction affect friendships and relationships because have a major impact on how we all deal with each other on different levels. When dating and in imamate relationships and friendships there has to be different attractions that keep us connected or disconnected from one another. First you are attracted to them by Proximity which means when you feeling close to someone, there is also familiarity, when you are attracted to someone that you see often then you also have to have a similar attraction to someone which is called, similarity is somethings that you have with people like others who are like them. Also there is Physical appearance, when you like someone looks, reciprocity, you are also more attracted to people that are like them. “There are five important factors that initiate and predict interpersonal attractions: proximity, familiarity, similarity, physical appearance and reciprocity in liking” (Clarke, 1952). When searching for a friendship and romantic relationship these are the five factors that would necessary when searching for a healthy friendship or relationship. When dealing with society and different cultures sometimes our opinion about the right friendship and relationships.

Human relationships are the foundation of human life, they strongly influence other individual’s behaviour (Bercheid et al., 2000). There are different types of relationships such as co workers, friendship, marriage which all involve a connection and therefore is an important characteristic of the formation of human relationships (Salisch 1996). The purpose of this essay is to explore research within human relationships and the relevant social psychological theories that have been linked with this conflicting topic.
