supervisors being close friends with their subordinates in law enforcement. If you were the head of a criminal justice organization, would you allow close personal relationships or attempt to persuade your supervisors refrain from being close with their subordinates? Explain your answer.
Law enforcement is an extremely stressful profession. Many officers experience marital problems and other difficulties; must suffer the indignities of long hours and personal risk to their safety; and deal with horrific crimes and examples of humanity on a daily basis. Without some form of stress release in the form of humor and friendship the weighty responsibilities can be unbearable and result in mental health issues. "Enduring stress for a long period of time can lead to anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD is a psychological condition marked by an inability to be intimate, inability to sleep, increased nightmares, increased feelings of guilt and reliving the…...

Improving a Personal elationship
Identifying a elationship

The relationship between my husband and I crossed my mind immediately I went through the details of this project. Like most people in my place, I definitely had no way of finding out what I was letting myself in for when I got involved with him. I wouldn't blame myself; he knew just how to play his cards. Not only was he interested in all aspects of my life, but he was also keen to ensure that he completely identified with me. We shared jokes, thoughts, and interests, and later got married. However, not long after, our relationship started assuming a different form. My life partner suddenly started becoming self-centered, and non-appreciative of my point-of-view. Things just had to be done his way. At first, I thought he was simply playing his role as the 'man,' but it all changed when I came across an…...

After reading this, I rabidly went through pretty much everything Steinbeck wrote, starting with his shorter novels (the Pearl, of Mice and Men) and moving into his collections of short stories (Tortilla Flats) and his novels about the Monterey Bay (Cannery Row, Sweet Thursday). A year later, I branched out drastically into the world of science fiction, reading Asimov and Phillip K. Dick as though they had the secrets of the universe woven in between their lines of prose, and if I could only red enough of them then all would be made clear. I guess I still think this is true to some degree; every story has elements that every human being can relate to, and each time I begin a new story I am hoping to pick out those elements and add them to the mosaic of my own understanding of human beings and the way(s) we…...

In many ways, students live both in the land-based or physical world as well as in the virtual world; leading what some considers parallel lives.

Helliwell & Putman (2004) posit that social networking sites may offer an avenue for the development of greater social capital which may serve to further reinforce students' likelihood of integrating Facebook and other social media sites into their regular routines. A suggestion made as to the possible reason for the purported decline in mature interpersonal relationships is social media and advances in technology Helliwell & Putnam, 2004.

The following study will build a base of knowledge regarding several popular social media sites including Facebook, and examine the role social media plays in a college students' development and interpersonal relationships.

Technology has revolutionized and transformed the way in which people relate in one another and in this way it has greatly impacted the communication between people. Some of the…...

Communication Abilities
Comparison of my personal relationships with two people.

Man is a social animal and every individual is involved in different kinds of relationships with other individuals throughout their lives. Some of these relationships are close and permanent, e.g., blood relationships with our parents and children or temporary, fleeting relationships like our relationships with fellow travelers during a train or an air journey. The quality and type of relationship is determined to a large extent by the degree of 'self-disclosure' that we are willing to put into our communication and on the 'feedback' that we get in our interaction with others. Two of my personal relationships are described and analyzed below with reference to the Johari Window Model and the self-disclosure theory.

No such advantage exists for individuals navigating the challenges of
interpersonal partnership. Often voluntary, sometimes situational and
always complex insofar as personal partnerships are based upon the ability
to channel two fully independent wills toward a unified outcome or set of
outcomes, personal relationships require a deep commitment on the side of
both parties. The presence of equal commitment to the goals and feelings
upon which a partnership is precipitated and an equal commitment to one
another are instrumental to the creation of a good partnership. It is only
through this element that joined parties can hope to enjoy mutual respect
and the simultaneous ability to assert themselves independently.
If we are to apply the technical definition for a civil partnership-
implying a business in this case-we may nonetheless consider the qualities
there mentioned as applying by analogy to the quality of interpersonal
relations as well. Here, it is indicated that a partnership may be seen
as "a nominate contract between individuals who, in…...

Supervisory Strengths
One aspect of this supervisor's character and managerial style that has always been strong is his ability to communicate on an interpersonal level, and also to large groups of people. He excels in giving direction in a clear and precise manner, and dispensing advice in a friendly and supportive fashion. He is also a good listener, which makes him able to understand when a subordinate does not clearly understand an assignment, needs emotional or practical support, or is having a personality conflict with another member of the staff. He understands the wisdom of not "focusing on what you want to say to get your point across," and instead turns his "focus on what you want the other person to hear" (Reh, 2007, "Getting your point across").

Sometimes this type of consideration can be as simple as just asking, 'what don't you understand,' rather than merely repeating the directions over…...

Personal Perspective on Changes That Occur Throughout Early, Middle, And Late Adulthood
One of the more interesting things about aging is just how differently people go about the process. In my experience, many people seem to grow older and change very little from their early to late adulthoods as a result, keeping the same interests, friends, spouse, home and job for years and years. For instance, I know one elderly widower, "Mark," who has conducted petroleum engineering seminars in several states nine months a year for more than 30 years. Besides some minor administrative work and continuing education, Mark has the rest of the year to himself and he participates in a number of leisure and recreational activities, some of which he takes seriously. For instance, Mark is still an accomplished ballroom dancer despite his somewhat advanced age (73 years), and he has played tournament bridge games in Las Vegas with…...

Versailles was more than just a place inhabited by the French royal family and those close to them, as it was a location where art was in the making, with Moliere and Lully being two of the individuals responsible for transforming the palace into the home of French art in the seventeenth century.
Louis, Lully, and Moliere all collaborated in assisting France in experiencing a process of enlightenment, as the country changed most of its policies during the seventeenth century with the purpose of having these three men and the rest of the country's people exploit its ability to host the concept of art. Even though Louis is likely to be condemned for bringing France into a financial impasse because of his excessive spending, most people are likely to agree that art is one of the best things that one can possibly invest in. The Sun King enabled people to…...

Relationships in Finding Forrester
Human beings are by nature social and therefore seek a state of connectedness to other like-minded people. This state of connectedness and how it can enrich the lives of people is a theme that is brilliantly explored in Finding Forrester. Offering a wealth of insights into the state of human loneliness and the power of relationships in helping a person get back in touch with one's past and self, Finding Forrester is a film that literally teaches the very technique of living.

The film, in fact, provokes the viewer into exercising her or his critical thinking skills on the subject of both social and personal relationships. Exploring the development of a close relationship between a reclusive, Pulitzer Prize winning author, and a young African-American student from the Bronx, the film succeeds in taking the viewer on a delightful journey of friendship and self-exploration by an unlikely duo. Indeed,…...

Although not all of Davis' relational maintenance strategies are communication based, many of them are primarily work-it-out and have-it-out but also reintegration ceremonies. Davis did not empirically test his observations.

Braiker and Kelley (1979) were interested in understanding the role that conflict plays in relationship development. Employing a social exchange approach to relational maintenance, Braiker and Kelley conceptually defined maintenance as communication behaviors engaged in by members of the couple to reduce costs and maximize rewards in the relationship. Maintenance behavior was operationally defined using items primarily measuring communication with one's partner about the relationship (also included one item measuring self-disclosure and one item measuring willingness to change behavior). Thus, Braiker and Kelley also focus on metacommunication as a relational maintenance strategy.

Braiker and Kelley (1979) concluded that maintenance strategies change meaning over time, with maintenance behavior serving to increase interdependence and love in the earlier stages of development and to resolve…...

Holistic elationship Marketing
elationship Marketing

elationship marketing is one of the fastest growing research topics in business and marketing today. The premise of relationship marketing is very broad and includes or should include external and internal relationship building as a reciprocal factor for firm success. Successful relationship marketing, according to the literature, results in high productivity, high employee and customer satisfaction, low employee and customer attrition and ultimately high profitability and success. According to businessdictionary.com relationship marketing is defined as: Marketing activities that are aimed at developing and managing trusting and long-term relationships with larger customers. In relationship marketing, customer profile, buying patterns, and history of contacts are maintained in a sales database, and an account executive is assigned to one or more major customers to fulfill their needs and maintain the relationship (n.d.) Yet, fundamentally, this definition of relationship marketing (M) demonstrates only one aspect of its purpose, which is ultimately…...

Technology and Personal Relationships
The Internet, as we know, it is barely more than a decade old, and the personal computer, the means by which the Internet can be accessed is only a few decades older still. What this means is that for the younger members of society advanced technology is all they have ever known, while for those older ones, they remember a time when public payphones were the only way to make a call when away from home and a computer was something a person saw in science fiction movies. With this in mind I recently conducted a pair of interviews with two persons who were varied in age. The first was a friend and coworker of mine who is also a student in their early twenties and has lived a life entirely saturated with advanced technology, while the second was my uncle who is fifty years of age…...

relationship of a salesperson with his customers. The authors have tried to formulate what factors into this relationship. The main focus is the right type of attitude and interaction between the sales person and the customer, which helps to build a long-term relationship between the two.
'Do communicator characteristics such as similarity and expertise, which have typified the short-term transaction perspective of previous sales research, contribute to sustaining an enduring relationship? How important are relational behaviors such as cooperative intentions, contact intensity, and mutual disclosure in building and maintaining long-term relations?' (Crosby, Evans, & Cowles, 1990)

However, the whole of the paper is based on how the customer looks at this relationship. A model has been made which helps to make it easier to understand the intricacies of a services salesman.

While there, I was tutored by several professors, all of whom had their distinct teaching styles and methods and this diversity actually helped me. The major feature I loved about them and that I have adopted as a personal teaching style is just how open they were to working with their proteges. I have decided to also create similar chances for my students working with me. I would analyze my work to see if there are certain research subjects I intend to write that my students could work on and benefit from. Apart from the professional interaction, these professors also interacted with me on a personal level. They took me in and introduced me to their families, building a strong rapport between us.
