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.
He says that much of this difficulty can be attributed to professors and the way that writing is taught to students, especially individuals who are newly entering the college setting (11). According to Bartholomae, students struggle with adapting to academic discourse and using the commonplaces of the discourse because they must be able to place themselves within the discourse rather than just imitating it, which is a hard thing to learn and an even harder thing to put into practice when most students have no previous experience with the discourse of academics
Windy Dryden (2006) says it is basically a person’s desire to rid themself of some kind of personal pain due to life’s adversities, or character traits which may be hindering a fulfilling life (p.5). She also notes that attending counselling as a course requirement should be considered a legitimate reason. (p.5) As a course requirement I attended a counselling session with Annie Rabin, a professional counsellor. McLeod (2003) says clients want to resolve something, learn something or achieve social inclusion. (p.16) My primary aim was to learn but I also achieved a measure of resolve with my problem.
Running head: Prejudice, Stereotypes, and Discrimination 1 At some point in our lives we all have had the pleasure of experiencing prejudice, stereotyping, and discrimination.

Some being clashes among dialect, some will be clashes among discourse and others in ways of thinking.

I always outline the purpose of the session and how it applies to the attendees, but I frequently experience resistance in the form of poor participation. One of the more effective ways I have found to overcome that resistance is to use what Knowles refers to as “role models”. I use the success of other team members as examples to be followed, and ask those individuals to speak whenever possible. This usually prompts lively discussion, and engages the attendees into the training session. In the future, I will also incorporate Knowles’ (1989) strategy of acknowledging that “… I knew some students were there under compulsion and that I wished this weren’t so…” (p.2).

Hypothesis: International students coming to the UK usually have a certain set of expectations accompanied by fears and hopes that are sometimes realistic and other times not. To identify these facts and know to what extend do these fears and hopes affect the student’s life in this country, we’ve carried out a simple questionnaire to gather information about how they deal with the cultural and social differences they encounter in the UK. It is important to know how international students accept and cope with their new lives in the UK as it usually affects their achievements and ambitions, their confidence and social activities, their morality and capacity to absorb information. We hope that we’d be able to unveil some helpful facts and information through this simple research. Methodology: To identify the kinds of fears and hopes international students have when they first arrive in the UK, we held a simple survey of fifteen participants, each answering a set of questions based on the common difficulties international students face abroad.
