Relationships And Self Presentation Dictate The Interactions

To form a relationship is not so straightforward and instinctive. The development of a relationship takes time and effort to build. There are skills required from partners revealing or disclosing first their attitudes, inner characteristics, and/or true self. This process is only done in a mutual manner, and the main factor in developing a relationship, is properly having the ability to self-disclose yourself. When you first enter a new relationship, there are stages of social penetration with your partner, it is very comparable to an Onion, as you peel a layer of onion you unravel a new personality with your partner. There are stages to development of a relationship and in the Movie “Remember the Titans” the main characters, Julius and Gerry

Many years later they meet again on several occasions but the intensifying stage does not resume until they finally become friends and share details about their past failed relationships. During this period they start spending a considerable amount of time together and their expression of feelings toward the other becomes more intense. We see the beginnings of a true interpersonal relationship development.

I choose to watch the movie “Keith” where I analyzed relationship growth between the characters in this film. This movie was about a girl named Natalie who was a popular, beautiful, smart highschool student with a perfect life. That was until she met Keith a strange, secretive, unpopular student in her high school and he changes her life forever when they become lab partners. The film begins with Natalie starting her typical morning routine which consists of getting ready, early morning tennis practice, and then school where she excels at everything. When she is finally done with class she is walking with her best friend a good looking jock who steals her attention. He doesn’t see her but it initiates that this relationship will develop into

In chapter 8 Looking Out Looking in by Ronald. B. Adler it talks about why we form relationships , well most people desire relationships. Appearance is especially important in relationships whether it is in person or social media. Appearance is also the most important feature people look for, skills and intelligence are secondary. Being in a relationship causes partners to create positive illusions. In relationships we also look for similarity we like people who are similar to us. Similarity is more important to relational happiness than communication ability. Similarity also helps us overcome trivial differences. Complementarily differences are the differences a relationship has between each other. Complementarily differences strengthen relationships

Despite the numerous different theories consisting of different stages of friendship they all contain certain aspects of relationships going through stages of increasing familiarity. They all show how we select friends through a stage model and how relationships also break down in stages. They provide Factors that increase friendship like after helping another person we like them more due to feelings and emotions such as empathy, or a decline in a relationship by the need for too much help and support that can cause stress and anxieties. If we feel empathy we are likely to help, and there are several factors that increase chances of friendship,

Relationships have shaped humanity since the beginning of time. From Adam and Eve to Romeo and Juliet to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, relationships influence culture and fuel the imaginations and passions of many. Perhaps the most important aspect of a relationship lies in what it brings long-term: the continuation of our species. For all these reasons, relationships constantly appear and reappear in culture, music, and literature. However Charles Dickens and Betty Smith do not focus the effect of relationships on the bonding of two people together, but rather the full development and maturation of one individual’s identity. In their respective novels, Great Expectations and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Dickens and Smith explore how relationships impact a person’s identity and the importance of caution in selecting a lifelong partner.

Interpersonal relationships are the close relationships we form with others around us. They range from close romantic relationships up to more casual relationships such as acquaintances or university peers. There are numerous numbers of social factors that may lead to interpersonal attraction such as proximity, physical attractiveness, similarity and reciprocity. There are also numerous theories into attraction and how humans form interpersonal relationships.

Interpersonal communication is everywhere in society, both the past, present, and the future. “Marty,” a love story, and a movie made in the fifties, shows many examples of interpersonal communication. In this movie, the main character, Marty, who is a decent, socially awkward man who is pressured by his peers and family to find love and get married. He then gets fed up and goes to a club in town and meets a woman named Claire, who is in similar circumstances to him. Marty and Claire then interact and spend time together and Marty experiences companionship for the first time. As time goes on, Marty’s bachelor friends and his mother are expressing their disapproval of Claire. Marty then gets angry with everyone, and tells them all I

As I interact with my family at home and my friends at school, my personality and the way I behave has a big impact on the way the people around me treat and react towards me. I would say that for the most part I hate disappointing or making things inconvenient for others, so because of this, the way I am treated and associate with others when behaving like that directly impacts my life. On the contrary, for example, when I do not care to about letting the people in my life down, or am for some reason being very irritable to them, I can notice a very different reaction and impact that the action has caused in my everyday

When shown different perspectives, it tends to change or influence our relationships. Perspectives influence our relationships because they depict how you think of a person and depending on that, leads you to believe whether their perspective is important or not. Another way perspective influences relationships is that it impacts your understanding of other perspectives. It is important for the reader to learn that one’s relationship is greatly influenced by perspectives of people in said relationship, because the types of perspectives greatly contribute to building a healthy or unhealthy relationships.

Researchers continue to argue the significance of how individual characteristics play a role in communication.

Throughout this semester in communications I have learned a lot about myself, how to deal with others, relationships, and more. There were some lessons that stood out to me the most, and that I thought about after class. The first was in chapter 3 about interpersonal communication and the self. During this chapter, we took a piece of paper and put four people that we knew down. We chose someone who we were just getting to know, and then others that we knew very well or that were very close to us. In this lesson, we were discussing the social penetration theory. The first step is the breadth which is a volunteered amount of information that we tell someone as subjects are being discussed. The second step is depth which is when we began to go deeper into personal information. The four people that I chose were a girl I had just met at work, my sister, my dad, and my boyfriend. After completing the circles and filling in the amount of information that I have covered with them, the girl I work with had the least, and my sister had the most filled in to the core. After completing this lesson, I looked at my paper and realized that almost everyone was more filled in to the core than my relationship with my father. This lesson struck a major cord with me because I never realized how surface level my relationship with my dad was until talking about this lesson. I knew that my father and I were not that close to begin with, but I never knew why. After this lesson, I understood that my

Thesis: What a person in our society does not realize is relationships are very important aspects in life, but what most people fail to realize is you share a relationship with each person you come in contact with whether it is your best friend or arch enemy.
