Module 4/ Assignment 2: Reflection Paper 1 Module 4/ Assignment 2: “Relationship Analysis” Reflection Paper Raymond Martin Interpersonal Effectiveness July 24, 2009 Module 4/ Assignment 2: Reflection Paper 2 The type of relationship I will be analyzing is my friendship with Jeremy Orner. The relationship model that best describes this relationship would be the one developed by Mark Knapp (Knapp & Vangelisti, 2006) who broke down relationship development into ten steps. This model explains friendship throughout our ten years as friends, so far we have been through 9 of the ten steps; Initiating, Experimenting, Intensifying, Integrating, Bonding, Differentiating, Circumscribing, Stagnating, and Avoiding, …show more content…
We started to talk and find out more about each other, as we talked, we found out that we had a lot of similarities. We both like muscle cars, we had the same ideas and beliefs about what the “dream car” would look like, what kind of motor, and how much hp (horsepower) it should have, it was a smoke black 1969 Camaro SS with red racing strips and a blown 502 Merlin big-block pushing out 1500 hp. We talked about this car for a few hours, then Jeremy and Justin said that I am welcomed to stop by and hangout anytime, because I was the only one who could “hang with them”( drink as much and not pass out) at a party. After that night I started to hangout more and more with Jeremy and Justin drinking and getting to know each other, we started to become good friends. Intensifying As our friendship progressed, we started hanging out more and more, going to parties together, doing favors like borrowing money from each other, he would buy the beer one night and I would would buy the next night. This was about the time when we started to plan a trip we called the “Cali Cruise” witch was we would build and restore a 1981 Pontiac Trans AM. Then we would take two weeks off of work and drive up and down the coast of California, stopping to party along the way. Bonding This the stage were Jeremy and I became
Relationships are an important factor for the development of social skills; they teach one how to open up to others. Dating is a common thing growing up, and many date multiple people throughout their lifetime. It is important for individuals to experience different relationships, because each can teach something new. This can then help someone determine what characteristics they truly want their lifelong partner to have. When it comes to moving on from a relationship, one of the partners is responsible for terminating the current one. It is not an easy step to take, but it is something that must occur. Because it is not easy to build up the courage to end a relationship, one can ensure they get dumped by manipulating their significant other.
-Shifting the family’s view of treatment from focusing on the adolescent as “the problem” to enhancement of family relationships as an important part of the solution.
He shot his shot or as most people would call it getting my number. We hung out that day in my car in the Starbucks parking lot. He wanted to learn about my past. No fancy date just sitting in my car and this became a reoccurring theme. Butterflies filled my stomach because let’s be honest this was Grant Holloway. We set up plans for the next night after track practice and we wound up in front of Dollar Tree talking in the car – understand the theme. We continued talking keeping our “friendship” on the down low. One chilly morning we woke up at the crack of dawn and shared a beautiful sunset together. We captured the sunset on snapchat and one of my more un-loyal friends put two and two together. She was close with his ex and word got out to her. The ex interrupted the flow but we just learned to have fun with the time we had. I went to his state’s track meet with my parents. I was forever proud of his accomplishment because this was his big year. Indoor Nationals were rolling around and this marked the longest time we would be apart. We set up a mini-date at Sweet Frog around the closing so we took the frozen yogurt to go. He will tell me this was his favorite moment before one of the biggest days of his
Now, here he is at my party, with an awesome present, still wanting to be friends.
I had the pleasure of meeting a significant person in my life my sophomore year of high
There was a guy named Stratton who was really good friends with my brother Marshall. Stratton started coming around more and more. I thought he was the most cutest thing that I’ve ever seen before. He was the only one I had my eyes on. Every year we go to the Kings County Fair and Stratton was there. I wanted to hang out with him so bad but I couldn’t because my brother would’ve gotten mad. My friend Haylee and I were standing by the cows when Stratton and Marshall came walking up to us. I got so excited but also nervous at the same time. When they walked up to us, I had the biggest smile on my face. Stratton and I started texting a lot more after that day. My good friend was Festa Queen for Easton. A festa is a Portuguese celebration. I needed
We shared our stories about anxiety. While our specific anxieties were different, we both cope in the same ways. We both would take a ton of drink breaks before we start are runs. One person in a group of 80 guys had something much more in common than favorite teams or shows. That personal connection to someone was something I never truly experienced in my entire life.
Leslie Baxter and Barbara Montgomery are interested in the communication that occurs in close relationships. I am going to focus on the three relational dialects which consist of connectedness-separateness, certainty-uncertainty, and openness-closedness. These three dialects are central to Baxter's and Montgomery's theory but they want to go more indepth than previous theorists have on these specific dialects. I will discuss this theory in the context of "When Harry Met Sally."
Building self-esteem and autonomy, ability or inability to learn new skills and become more independent.
There are a variety of relationships in which people misinterpret or have a hard time defining. Alongside with the responsibilities that come with each of them, depending on the closeness. It begins with the start of a friendship being either a personal or professional. The two primary forces
Why do we form relationships? In chapter 8 we find out that in relationships one aspect can be related to the appearance of someone. As well how proximity to an individual can have a great impact on the way a relationship will develop. One must also take into consideration how one's similarities will make a relationship stronger and last longer. It also goes to how one may eventually terminate a relationship that is no longer working.
The relationship between a man and his mother is often very close, in the case of The Stranger, the main character, Meursault had a close relationship with his mother, although he did not even know about her death until the day after. The relationship between Meursault and his mother negatively affects Meursault’s actions which, in turn, hinders his ability to achieve redemption. Meursault feels regret for not being with his mother at the time of her death and that feeling of regret follows him. Maman ‘haunts’ him as he tries to move on from her death. Due to the fact that Meursault is extremely observant he remembers every single detail about the day they buried his mother even though he was exhausted.
The idea that will be focused on throughout this paper is; what is Interpersonal communication? The idea seems quite simple from the outside in, but if you were to take a deeper look at the subject you might find it to be a rather complex. To start lets simplify things a little bit. We can begin by thinking about just how people that have become acquainted with one another, and communicate in a romantic relationship. This idea can be broken up into five stages, but we will be looking at only the first two. The first stage would be the Initiating Stage, “This stages is about catching another’s attention…” (Jeanne Flora, 2013, 111) This stage focuses on getting to know
The first phase of the helping relationship between the client and social worker is fundamental to counselling success, and focuses on developing a rapport with the client to enable the client to feel comfortable with the counselling process. After greeting the client with a proper introduction, the social worker should explain what is likely to happen during the session and possible future sessions including: social worker and client tasks and roles, informed consent (client’s approval), confidentiality (which means that what is discussed about a client’s personal matters remains private between the client and social worker. Other exceptions where confidentiality is concerned is if the client shares information involving child, elderly vulnerable population abuse, or abuse to themselves or others, the social worker is obligated to report this. Disclosure may be required to protect clients or identified others from serious and foreseeable harm or when legal
This shows that the loss of culture experienced by Tu during his life has caused him to lose his way, and he has come back to his roots to try and fix things. Unfortunately in today’s society culture seems to back a back seat on the scale of importance. Because of this sad face the reality of this poem is true for to many New Zealand people. For Tu, he may never have known much of his true heritage; either by fault of his own or of his upbringing, but the result remains the same. He relies on alcohol, violence and jail as his family, his friends, his sanctuary and choice of weapon (taiaha). This agrees with the statement that ‘The loss of culture and homeland causes a change in character’ as he now lives by the idea that alcohol and the pub is his life, rather than the traditional Maori pride and mana we used to see throughout society in New Zealand. This connects with the idea portrayed in the visual text ‘Once Were Warriors’ directed by Lee Tamahori. In this film, the person who undergoes a change in character due to loss of culture and heritage is
