The Nature Of Human Relationships

The reward/ need satisfaction theory (RNS) was devised by Byron & Clore (1970) to explain the formation of romantic relationships, based on the principles of behavioral psychology. According to the theory, people form relationships with those who are most rewarding/ satisfying to be with which happens through conditioning. The elements of Skinner's operant conditioning proposes that we repeat behaviors with positive outcomes (rewards) and avoid those with negative outcomes (punishments). Relationships positively reinforce by our partner satisfying our needs/rewarding us (through love or attention), but negative reinforcement also plays a part in the likelihood of formation as a relationship avoid us feeling lonely which both result in us

In Genesis the word of God leads humanity in the direction of self preservation, urging them to procreate, to ”Be fruitful and multiply” (Genesis 9:1), and to minimize hostility and violence among people. As Freud asserted, “Besides the instinct to preserve living substance and join it into ever larger units, there must exist another, contrary instinct seeking to dissolve those units and bring them back to their primeval, inorganic state” (Freud 77). Genesis exemplifies the struggle between the two opposing human instincts, with God acting as a moderator between them. Forms of justice are put into place in an attempt to control these drives, one example being the proclamation that “Whoever sheds the blood of a human, by a human shall that person’s blood be shed” (Genesis 9:6). The ethics and laws that develop throughout Genesis seek to “prevent the crudest excesses of brutal violence” but are unable to control “the more cautious and refined manifestations of human aggressiveness” (Freud 70). Since they cannot be completely eradicated, the scriptures instead play into the more negative aspects of human nature, especially narcissism, and manipulate them into a force for conservation rather than annihilation.

Human nature by essence has been the cause of many entrepreneurial paths, all follow to known the essence itself behind of what we conceive as life. Moreover it’s righteous description and abstract content, that many great man has humbly studied and that for centuries have made a path closely enough to the understanding of it, yet far from the light, it seems to be and unsolvable question that gives us a “Raison d'être” to our existence in this world.

Through the evolution of social bonds, individuals have always been under scrutiny to abide by a list of rules in order to be successful in their community. This ideology is made evident in the book, The Code of the Street, by Elijah Anderson. Anderson dissects and exposes the various issues dealing with families in urban minority communities. These families are labeled as “street” and “decent”. The connotation of the term “code of the street” is a set of accepted and understood set of rules in which “street” and “decent” families abide by in order to function in modern-day street society. These regulatory rules are known as a “code” because this term is not blatantly stated, but mutually understood by those living in these disadvantaged communities.

Bearing this harsh fact in mind, it is worth remembering that the racial minorities, be it blacks, latinos or Asians, face an uphill struggle in overcoming the hurdle of residential segregation if they are to successfully and meaningfully assimilate into American society. The Catholic church places great emphasis on the dignity and meaning of every human life and it has a significant role to play in helping those who are less fortunate in the American society. Doing God’s work on earth is a holy cause.

What if he's your prince but you're not his Cinderella? What if's could make or break any relationship and it is quite sad that some people would really risk a relationship just to check if the grass is really greener on the other side. Some people would keep on playing with rocks when there is already a diamond right in front of them, but that is human nature we can't be contented.

The standpoint theory is an approach that seeks to demystify subjects concerning human relationships. Such relations occur within diverse environments that influence though processes and the subsequent perception of life. Further, this body of knowledge regards the manner in which authority is vested in individuals within various forms of social systems. The standpoint theory provides that individual perspectives are molded by their experiences. Additionally, this touches on the aspects of people’s political environments as they strive to exist within their habitat sustainably. Individual environments affect the manner in which people interact with each other (Hägerstraand, 1970). Various determinants come into play when social structures are established. Ethnicity has been found to be a substantial factor that affects the establishment of connections between people from various backgrounds. Social classes create the distinction between people’s perspective of the world (Marton, 1980). Critically, people with privilege have particular attributes that place them above the persons they oppress.

Many parents want their child to get married and live their lives with a companion who is successful and loved their child. Like these parents, God created Woman for Man as a helpful companion and soulmate. Even though he does this, when Man and Woman ate from the tree of knowledge, he cracked down on them. In “The Fall from Genesis”, God punishes his people by “multiplying [Woman] sorrow and thy conception… [Man] shall rule over thee” and Man shall “in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground”.

In the last century, scientists succeeded, to a great extent, to reduce humans from many different components into just a genetic component, disregarding all other components, especially the spiritual one. Sadly, the majority of the people have fallen into this trap. As empathy is one of the many expressions of the humans’ spiritual component, spiritual component itself is a reflection of human connection to the Creator. When human spirituality is in danger, it will naturally reflect negatively upon the person’s empathy. He will be careless and heartless about the life of others as well as his life, the condition of the neighborhoods and the society at large will deteriorate with him. Because the people all over the world are closely connected

We were all born into the same world, all as sinners. So we are equal. Not judging one another but encouraging and holding each other accountable. With God we have an everlasting relationship. An ever loving father who though we were sinners still came down in human form so that we might be saved. So humans can experience the relationship with God forever in his glory on a new earth. Much like Jesus dying for us we are to treat others in the same manner. When entering the relationship God, you then have the ability to walk by his spirit. Living according to spirit bringing about peace and life. Furthermore, being heirs with Jesus Christ as children of God (Romans 8:17).

When it comes to the aspect of human nature, it can be concluded that as creatures of action, often propelled by personal emotion, it is without a doubt that human beings have continued to shift away from society’s initial and original values, which in turn, results in society’s formation of a biased judgment as they are keeping away from what they consider to different or dissimilar. Over the course of the past decades, it has become increasingly unchallenging for human beings to stray from traditional beliefs. Furthermore, it has become apparent that humans have been very easily motivated by and are often fueled by selfish desires. As human beings continue to be blinded by their overriding emotions and allow themselves to be greatly affected

Racism is a persistent issue directly threatening the values and teachings of Catholic theology and humanities advancement towards unity and peace. A destructive ideology such as racism debunks the entire foundation from which Catholicism is built. Catholicism follows the life and teachings of Jesus and the idea of solidarity, one of seven principals of Catholic Social Teaching; preaching for a single human family despite any national, racial, ethnic, economic, or ideological differences. Accepting or remaining silent when presented with an act of racial discrimination is equally as damaging as committing the act itself, as it contributes to an environment tolerant of racial prejudices. The Catholic church and its followers have a duty to acknowledge racism to its fullest extent and provide resolution. Through a collective stance against racism between the Catholic establishment and society while simultaneously providing education on the issue with realistic solutions, a progressed cultural environment can ultimately be developed that is reluctant to condone racism and all associated ideologies, utilizing peace, unity, and Catholic values as its foundational core.

At Teacher’s College in the early 1950s she created and taught the first classes for graduate nursing students. Between 1954 and 1974, Peplau was a faculty member at Rutgers University College of Nursing. Here she created the first graduate program for clinical specialists in psychiatric nursing. In the 1950s and 1960s, she held summer workshops for nurses across the US teaching interpersonal concepts and interviewing techniques for individual, family, and group therapy. She also served as an advisor for the World Health Organization. (Hildegard Peplau). Peplau, in 1952, published her Theory of Interpersonal Relations which in 1968 became the crux of psychiatric nursing. Her theory was influenced by Henry Stack Sullivan, Percival Symonds, Abraham Maslow, and Neal Elger Miller. Peplau’s Theory of Interpersonal Relations identifies four sequential phases in the interpersonal

A man is the image of God thus reflects his glory that is then shown by their woman.

There are several theories used by Psychologists to explain how relationships are formed. This paper will be looking at 3 of them: Needs Satisfaction Theory, Matching Hypothesis and Sociobiological Theory.
