...partner. A successful relationship is characterized by three main essentials of trust, respect, and chemistry. Without these three qualities, we strongly believe a relationship cannot succeed. Trusting someone is not as easy as it seems. Honesty, support, and being faithful to your partner are keys to a trust worthy relationship. Being honest and truthful to someone shows that you can be open and bring out your real personality. After all, a partner will respect honesty. Furthermore, always having someone there when you need them is essential because support is the foundation of a relationship. Last but not least, faith is being true to a person and having them be your one and only. Everyone has the ability to make their own choices, but being in a trustworthy relationship, your honest attributes will combine to make a successful partnership. Respect is something you need to give in order to receive. If you want someone to treat you a certain way, you have to treat him or her the same way. To make this happen you need to have manners. For example, letting other people go first, especially the elderly or the sick ones. Everyone wants to be treated equal without discrimination of race, color, gender, or religion. You need to have in mind that everyone deserves a chance to be treated like a human. I think everyone should be treated proper, unless they give you a reason no to. “ Treat others the way you want to be treated”. If you want people to respect you...

...KWA A0072584Y Everyone knows the Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” This sounds like a sound starting point for an ethical approach. So sound that it has earned itself its golden title. Many philosophies and religions worldwide incorporate this rule, and it is not without surprise. The Golden Rule might not be all-encompassing, and hence its negative form, the Silver Rule, which states: “Do not do unto others as you would not have them do unto you”, was born for complementarity. Together, these rules are based upon the importance of empathy and this ethic of reciprocity has been what many different cultures have resolved conflicts with. However, the Golden Rule is no panacea. Think about it: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” This is based upon the assumption that other people would like to be treated the same way that you would like to be treated. And we know instinctively that this cannot always be true, because everyone is different and has differing tastes and preferences. So now what? Could there be another rule that might tie up the loose ends? Enter the Platinum Rule: “Do unto everyone as they would have you do unto them.” This rule obliges us to respect and consider the needs and wants of people, and then act based on this understanding. It is what prevails in gift-giving, in earnest advice-giving, and so on. The focus of the relationship shifts from “this is what I want, so I'll give everyone the same thing" to...

...argue that it is possible for a legitimate romantic relationship to include more than two adults as long as everyone is freely participating and is fully aware of the circumstances involved. While monogamy still represents the ideal form of romantic relationships for many people, some would argue that it is simply not a realistic practice and not the only relationship choice that can work. Polyamory is the practice of having more than one romantic relationship at the same time. This is accomplished by everyone’s full knowledge and consent. Polyamorists place so much emphasis on having an honest, responsible and open communication in their relationships that they are able to overcome issues of jealousy. And lastly, by the acceptance and consent of all the parties involve, a person is able to have an extended support network that they can connect with on both the emotional and physical level. These premises are how I am going to argue my case for polyamorous relationships. What is polyamory? Polyamory is the practice of having a romantic relationship to include more than two consenting adults. I point out “consenting” as an important piece of the definition because a central principle of polyamory is garnering your partner’s consent to date, have sexual relations with or even fall in love with multiple people. The notion of consent to me is significant in that I think it is a necessary condition in order for this type of relationship to work. It means all the individuals involve have...

...paper is about homosexuals having the same rights as everyone else in the world, including the right to marry, adopt and to partake in the same benefits as heterosexual couples. I am someone who has always believed that everyone should have the same rights no matter what regardless of sexuality. I have had many homosexual friends and I always sympathized with the social stigma that they would have on them, and that was back when I was I guess you could say I was straight back then. So even way before I found myself having to deal with the same dilemmas as my friends I thought that keeping simple rights from people was wrong. I guess you could say I was an advocate in the war against social stigmas, advocating for equal rights for everyone no matter what sexual orientation one is. Homosexuality has been a topic of debate for some time now. There are people that firmly believe that loving or engaging in sex with someone of the same gender is completely wrong, and some of these people base their beliefs on their religious path. Some preach that by doing so the people involved in these acts will go to hell. There are even some individuals out there that form or part of groups that protest homosexuality and same sex relationships. My question to them is simple. What would you do if it was your child? What would you do if it was you who felt like that? Would you want the same rights in your life and in your relationship as everyone else? The answers to these questions are complicated...

...Consensual relationship agreements should be mandatory throughout all companies. With this agreement it will allow those who want to want to pursue a romantic involvement to do so without repercussions but through the written promise that they will continue to adhere to all company policies and procedures. In most occupations, it is frowned upon for those in lower positions to pursue relationships with those of upper management. For many years, industries have avoided having such occurrences and until recently haven’t had any such policy set in place. At the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, this policy does not exist, although it should. There are many employees of the same age who spend several hours per day together as well as on the weekends. It stands to reason that there would end up being mutual attractions and the formation of a relationship every now and then. If a CRA were to be implemented, it would make working with couples who are trying to keep their relationship private much easier and the tension in the workplace would dissipate. According to the textbook Individual and Organizational Ethics, there are a few guidelines that the CRA must include, which seem reasonable while gives the freedom for the couple to work together. They are as follows: • ”Their relationship is voluntary and consensual. • They agree to abide by the employer’s antidiscrimination, antiharassment, and workplace conduct policies. • They promise to report any perceived...

...being, because he lives in a society, must establish an equilibrium between himself and his human environment just as he must establish an equilibrium between himself and the physical world. This social nature of man gives rise to certain interpersonal needs, which he must satisfy to some degree while avoiding threat to himself. Although each individual has different intensities of needs and different mechanisms for handling them, people have the same basic needs. People have three basic interpersonal needs in common: The Need for Inclusion This is the need to maintain a satisfactory relation between the self and other people with respect to interaction or belonging-ness. Some people like to be with other people all the time; they want to belong to organizations, to interact, to mingle. Other people seek much less contact; they prefer to be alone, to interact minimally to stay out of groups, to maintain privacy. If a continuum were to be drawn between these two extremes, every person could be placed at a point (or region) at which he feels most comfortable. Thus to a certain...

...rejected God will face eternal punishment. Humans have no excuse for not believing in God because He made Himself available to them; they had the opportunity to receive Him, but they chose to ignore Him. Our human identity is revealed to us by God in scripture. Humans are made by God in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). So by knowing who made us, and whose image we reveal, we can conclude that our identity is found in God in human form – Christ Jesus. However, humans are flawed beings because of sin; therefore, we are doomed to eternal separation from our maker. So because of sin, no one is righteous (Romans 3:10). We are not good enough to receive eternal life; we are not perfect. The bible states, “For everyone has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). Everyone has fallen short of God’s perfect standard. Because of sin, human identity is useless and cannot complete its purpose. However, “God showed His great love for us by sending His...

Because our personal philosophy of life depends on these thing I believe that our philosophy can change at any time and then change again. Although I am only 19 and would consider that I still have my whole life ahead of me, I still think that I have a philosophy of life currently. In my younger days though I may not have known I still had one. I might have been to have as much fun when I go to beach, or play all day and enjoy everything in life. Growing up and gaining more experience in life, we realize what is important to us and what isn’t.

...Perspectives on Changes in Adulthood BSHS 342 May 13, 2010 Dr. Margaret Garberina Perspectives on Changes in Adulthood Everyone has his or her own philosophy of how a person changes during early, middle, and late adulthood. My personal philosophy is it depends on the person’s situation. If a person is married and has children, he or she will go through aging differently from a person who is single and never had children. The following paragraphs will explain my philosophy on what changes a person goes through in his or her activities, relationships, health, and mental health in each stage of adulthood. Activities During early adulthood, a person is very active. They are hanging out with friends, working out, and enjoying life any way they can. A person in early adulthood has more stamina and is more willing to do more cutting edge activities, such as bungee jumping, cliff jumping, and white water rafting. If they have children, their activities will consist more off raising their children and playing with them. Whereas a person who does not have children will do whatever they want to do because he or she are not tied down to one place. A person in middle adulthood still has energy, but maybe not as much as they did when he or she was younger. They still are hanging out with friends, and working out. A person in middle adulthood would rather stay home during the evenings than wanting to go out to the bars and stay out all night. If they have children, their...

...friends, family, and strangers. I believe that I am great at not showing my feelings; however, I am very opinionated so at times I voice my opinion. The opinion part is definitely something I need to work on. I am also pretty good with not giving direct advice. If I can start learning to be less opinionated in my everyday interactions, I will be well on my way to becoming an effective therapist. At the beginning of a counseling relationship, it is important to have listening skills, open-mindedness, and detachment skills. This is because a client really needs someone to listen to them without judgment. If a client feels comfortable, they will more than likely wish to continue a relationship with you. However, if a client feels uncomfortable they will want to either avoid a relationship with you or discontinue an already established relationship with you. After you have built a relationship with a client, listening is still a key skill to have as well as helping the client better understand themselves. If for any reason a client relationship has to be terminated, it is key to stay professional and unbiased. It is important not to take the decision personal because your job is not to please...

When we hear the mother’s attitude to the girlfriend it isn’t quite good. She doesn’t like his new girlfriend and want her to say that she isn’t feeling well and that they need to leave earlier.

It gave them an escape you could call it, they took it and could be “gone” for days "As soon as they got back to the rest-house, she swallowed six half-gramme tablets of soma, lay down on her bed, and within ten minutes had embarked for lunar eternity.
