Throughout the essay I will draw on my own personal experiences of the friendships that I have been exposed to in my lifetime. I will also draw on my experiences of finding a counsellor and embarking on two separate series of counselling, one as part of a couple in a troubled relationship the other, several years later, as part of my desire to change my approach to relationships after experiencing a repetitive negative experience with men. For the purpose of this essay I have chosen to follow Aristotle (Nicomachean Ethics, Book VIII) in distinguishing three kinds of friendship: friendships of pleasure, of utility, and of virtue.

Lastly, Cultural Relativists often argue that it is mere arrogance for us to judge the conduct of other societies, and that we should adopt an attitude of tolerance toward the practices of other cultures.
