People will often ask what makes a good or long lasting relationship. In truth there is no one answer, what works for some will not work for others, it’s about finding the balance that suits the both people. At the beginning of a new relationship, the excitement of being in that relationship helps us to not see the things the other person does which may cause annoyance. At this stage in the relationship both parties find themselves faced with everyday realities which means they have to work at the relationship to find and maintain a balance. When couples are faced with life changing events or illnesses the balance changes quickly and they will find themselves in the difficult position of facing their own feelings and fears while trying to support each other.
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. Utility, meaning to do something together to share some common work or task, this could be a work or professional based friendship where you work together to achieve a common goal. Pleasure being that you share the same hobby or interest whether this is gardening or a sporting activity, similarly to the utility friendship this is centered on something external to the friendship.
Whilst conflict merely involve two parties disagreeing over differences of opinion, this interpersonal conflict can bring out either courage or cowardice in people. We have seen throughout history that major conflicts in the form of war and international political unrest, lead many to experience horrific and life-changing conflicts of a larger scale. A recent global example of interpersonal conflict is Malala Yousafzai, who was shot by the Taliban over her fight for universal education, urged people in war-torn countries to swap

Name Professor ENC 1101 Date Cause–and-Effect essay “How Break-ups occur” A relationship is usually viewed as a connection between two individuals, such as a romantic relationship between a man and women. The conception of relationship encompasses a variety of emotions and emotional closeness. Therefore the lack of many of these emotions can lead to an end of a relationship. Depending on how the relationship is built the leading cause to an end of a relationship may differ, but in relationships there is often a key to maintain a relationship. The three important things that should be avoided are dishonesty, not having a strong communication ethic with your partner, and having very little or even no common interest in likes, dislikes and social standings.
INTRODUCTION TO SOCIAL WORK ‘’In all cultures and in all times, the perception of madness, possession or mental disorder has created a conflict between fear and compassion’’ (Porter, R. 1993). This conflict is still in existence today and throughout this essay I aim to highlight the socio-political factors which have helped cause this, and show how these factors have been an intrinsic part of shaping the mental health service into what it is today. I aim to demonstrate the important role of the social worker within the mental health service, both past and present. People have long debated the issue of detention and punishment versus treatment and medicalization- you could argue that this is a debate about social themes versus medical themes, a debate which still rumbles on today. This has (in part) led to the formation in 2008 of the Approved Mental Health Professional (A.M.H.P).
For example, one myth that has been accepted throughout the years is “It’s only child abuse if it’s violent.” (Segal, Smith, Saisan) People perceive abuse as only a problem of physicality; however, abuse comes in many different forms. The other forms of abuse are neglect, sexual, and emotional. All these can be just as damaging as physical abuse. Also, many people have talked about and say that, “Child abuse doesn’t happen in “good” families.” (Segal, Smith, Saisan) abuse can happen in any situation at any time. Child abuse crosses a wide line or racial, economic, and cultural situations.
Conflict frequently occurs in the business and academic worlds due to group dynamics. Conflict resolution strategies vary because individual personalities and different ways of processing information. The reasons why conflict occurs in the first place is highly dependent on the individuals in the group. The following will attempt to explain how individual differences affect group dynamics and conflict resolution in the business and academic worlds. When a situation occurs that interferes with an individual’s goals, emotions, interests, perceptions, and/or values it is considered a conflict.
Weather we recognize it or not, conflict will always play an integral role in our lives, our relationships and society. Conflicts cause pain and suffering, but can also be attributed to many of humanities achievements. Conflicts in land, wealth, religion and political pride probably have the most impact on a national scale and although conflicts like these can often cause the innocent to suffer, its conflicts like these that can inspire a nation or even the world to change. I have never cared for the incoherent, prepubescent, babble of my peers in high school. High school is a fountain of wealth when it comes to drama, but I decided to sit out on the apparent life changing drama.
