Reflection About Relationships

First of all, a parent’s influence should be inspiring to a young child, not degrading. The mother’s perspective rubbed off on her son, which made him spin out of control. A child should have a happy life, they should be able to go outside, and play. A parent’s influence can change all of their child’s perspective in life. Children live their lives looking up to the people that are raising them. The children of the world are not, grown up’s, and I think that the adults in their lives tend to forget that they are still learning. Parent’s are supposed to be the supporters for their children, and have unconditional love

Fairy tales tell us that once upon a time a girl met a boy; they fell in love, and lived happily ever after. Reality is not that simple. Long-term relationships force couples to get to know each other, involve themselves in each others’ worlds, fight through the hard times, and eventually develop deeper connections as noted through distinctive stages of Knapp’s relationship model. Although I have dated the same person for over two years, our communication through relationship stages makes it seem as though I am now dating a different person than the one I met years ago. Following dissolution and subsequent repair, I realize the most exhilarating of roller coaster rides develop through sets of ups and downs, much like the

Throughout our lives we're influenced by many. It can have an effect on the way we view issues within societal boundaries. One of the major influences children have in their lives comes from their parents. The parents of a child can have both a positive and a negative influence on their lives. In the novel "To Kill A Mockingbird", there are two excellent examples of how parents can be a major influence on their children. Atticus Finch, father of Jem and Scout Finch, plays the loving, kind and knowledgeable father. He is an example of how parents can have a positive influence on their children. Bob Ewell, father of Mayella Ewell, plays the drunken, abusive, and neglectful father. He is an example of how a parent can be a negative

In life, people make, break and regain a myriad of relationships. As we continue this process, we will find that not all confrontations and friendships leave us with a positive impact. Although there will be a multitude of unsatisfactory bonds, it is imperative that people are able to seek out friends that will always be there for them. The ability to find and maintain supportive friendships is one that Melinda was not always able to do and it often kept her from being able to break out of her gloomy shell after her being raped. When one has healthy relationships, they experience happy emotions, such as feeling included. Melinda failed to recognize the benefits of healthy relationships, as she often excluded herself from social events. After a basketball game at the high school, David Petrakis, Melinda’s lab partner in science, invited her over for pizza. Melinda’s mind was torn about what she should do. One part of her was thinking that she should have gone to have pizza with David, while the second part of her mind was thinking that she was scared of boys and that she would be better off

The world around us is immense. It is filled with extraordinary individuals, places and experiences. The bonds we form are ceaseless. Every relationship that is formed is one that we would like to experience over and over. Relationships in the world vary from one individual to another but, it is a solid connection that we as a people want to shape in our lives. The different connections that are formed, shape our identity and the identity of who we will become in the coming future. A relationship is a way in which two or more objects, people or concepts are connected. To me a relationship can mean many things but one way that I believe every relationship has is beauty. A way where objects, concepts and people can connect is beautiful because it Is new.

The study conducted was an experimental study. In this study, an independent variable was manipulated and a dependent variable was measured making it an experiment. A correlational study is where you compare the connection between to variables which did not take place in this study. One group was given the drug and the other was given the placebo. Researchers took note of how the patients given the drug reacted. A hypothesis is a testable prediction of what can happen under specific circumstances. In this study, the hypothesis was: If a group with a stuttering problem is given a certain drug that stimulates parts in the frontal lobe, then the people in the group will experience the ability to speak better. The independent variable in the study

The Consequences of Dysfunctional Family Relationships An intimate home life can serve as a haven in a chaotic and confusing world. On the other hand, a dysfunctional family can serve as a source of insecurity and distrust. Steinbeck’s “The Chrysanthemums” and Tyler’s “Teenage Wasteland” prove that families who fail to spend quality time with each other and show physical affection develop lukewarm and strained relationships. These short stories model how weak and disconnected relationships arise through a lack of quality family time and physical affection within a family.

Personal relationships typically empowered individuals. The most successful bonds between two people are the ones in which both parties contribute equal amounts of support. However, in some cases, the connections among these individuals fail to comply with the typical characteristics of a supportive relationship. As a consequence, flawed relationships like these can limit a person mentally and physically. In Chris Cleave's, Little Bee, characters who lack success and support when restricted by others, are prisoners to their disadvantageous relationships. Although personal relationships should support an individual, Little Bee suggests that a person’s freedom is limited because of these connections.

Throughout one’s lifetime, people walk in and out of experiences; it is only with the people that stay that a friendship truly develops. A relationship is described as a close connection between individuals; this bond can form during childhood or later in life. The authors convey the importance of relationships within their written works, which thematically focus on distinguishing characters through relationships. Relationships help develop the character emotionally, physically, and mentally, the author outlines its importance or outcome through rhetorical devices and figurative language.

Transference includes feelings that the client has developed toward the nurse related to similar feelings toward a significant person in the client’s early childhood. That is when the person transfer feelings based on feelings experienced within people and early life experiences onto you the nurse or perhaps another person that the client is involved with. Depending on that relationship, a client may either form a positive or negative transference. For instance; a mother was very strict which the individual found a difficult experience to be on the receiving end; the client may transfer those difficult feelings onto anyone that the client perceives as being in a position of power. For example; it may be an administrator, doctor or you as a

Akin to a machine, interpersonal relationships have components that need be assembled correctly. They require a constant input of energy and are liable to stop being functional if the energy is interrupted or depleted. When they break, the correct tools are necessary to repair the malfunction and if not, the machine will cease to run properly and runs the risk of hurting somebody. When anticipating the costs and rewards of leaving a dysfunctional relationship factors like fear, acceptance, and communication play a role in the revaluation of residing it. This is illustrated in the texts: “Domestic Dilemma” by Carson McCullers, “Two Little Girls” by Ani Diffranco, “Volcano” by Nancy Lord, and “So Much Water So Close to Home” by Raymond

There has been some recent argument against the current understanding of the place of relationships in psychotherapy. While most theories argue that relationships are important or even essential to good mental health, other theorists claim that the way relationships are conceptualized in these theories is insufficient (Slife & Wiggins, 2009). Most of these theories conceptualize the individuals first, and then talk about the way these individuals relate. Relationships are often understood as two or more independent self-contained individuals interacting (Slife & Wiggins, 2009). An alternative way to look at relationships is offered by relational psychoanalysts and other theorists, though again it should be noted that

In this world, to live a life, everybody needs someone to always be there by their side. It is not possible to stay alone and be happy at the same time. We can lower our pain by sharing it, or increase our happiness if we can share our happiness with others. People stand with us, share our feelings, bond with us and become a part of our life. We can’t imagine the life without the people who matter the most to us. Some we meet with the needs, some meet with destiny and some stays from the very first day of our life. These connections and commitment of being there make relationships. There is different steps, ways and views of every relation. Trust, love and respect are three different ways to show the importance of our relationship.

Many times during class I have taken notes and realized that the concepts we are learning can be applied to the relationships within the job I am in right now. When I learned about culture, I was learning how to best communicate and understand others as an individual or group. In learning about a conflict I was having problems with a few coworkers and not understanding why they don’t connect with the various cultures we serve. At times throughout the conference, I saw this class as my work relationship survival guide for this upcoming school year. It was great to be able to take what I already knew about interpersonal relationships and communication and assign vocabulary with actual theories to my previous knowledge. Throughout this course and conference, I have found many connections in the two most important relationships in my life.

The Research in Human Relations course guided me in the application mindset of my studies. Mindfully being able to break down information, from the statement of the issue to the analysis of data, to even an appropriate outcome that is beneficial to a particular field of study, is what this course promotes. Don Miguel Ruiz states in his novel, The Four Agreements, that we make different types of assumptions simply because we do not have the courage to ask questions (Ruiz & Mills, 1997, p. 68). This course enables students to not only want to ask questions but also build on their incoming knowledge with the tools to support giving back to the field and community. I long to give back through the power of research in my given field, and upon taking this course I feel empowered to do just that. The Research in HR course set a solid foundation for APA style writing, which has not only benefitted me through graduate school but will continue to benefit me into my career path. Today, APA Style sets the bar that is well respected in journals, books, and electronic databases (American Psychological Association, 2012). I found this course beneficial because much like each of my other courses, it further refined my skillsets for my pursuit of clinical administrative work and research on autism and speech in the field of speech-language pathology. Through each assignment, I became even more critical of the research I consumed. Being able to produce solid sources to help push my field of
