 RELATIONSHIP

Interpersonal relationships include kinship

and family relations in which people become associated by
genetics or consanguinity. These include such roles as
father, mother, son, or daughter. Relationships can also be
established by marriage, such as husband, wife, father-in-
law, mother-in-law, uncle by marriage, or aunt by marriage.
They may be formal long-term relationships recognized
by law and formalized through public ceremony, such
as marriage or civil union. They may also be informal long-
term relationships such as loving relationships or romantic
relationships with or without living together. In these cases
the "other person" is often called lover, boyfriend,
or girlfriend, as distinct from just a male or female friend, or
"significant other". If the partners live together, the
relationship may resemble marriage, with the parties
possibly even called husband and wife. Scottish common
law can regard such couples as actual marriages after a
period of time. Long-term relationships in other countries
can become known as common-law marriages, although
they may have no special status in law. The
termmistress may refer in a somewhat old-fashioned way to
a female lover of an already married or unmarried man. A
mistress may have the status of an "official mistress" (in
French maîtresse en titre); as exemplified by the career
of Madame de Pompadour. There's also a term which is
believed to have originated from the Hawaiian islands. The
term "Puka" which means "hole" in Hawaiian is most
commonly associated with women who in most cases sleeps
with wealthy men in hopes of gaining a piece of their wealth.
The status of a relationship goes along with the way we
communicate with the other person. Interpersonal
relationships and communication is a two-way street, which
needs to be clear by both ends. The way we communicate
with our significant other is not the same as we
communicate of our bosses or little brother. The
transmission model of communication has five main parts
according to Karen Reynolds essay:

 Information Source – where the message is produced

 Transmitter – where the message is encoded
 Channel – where the signal is carried
 Receiver – where the message is decoded
 Destination – where the message ends up

However, noise can interfere with the channel and change

the original message. This can relate to interpersonal
relationships because the sender and receiver of messages
need to be on the same of page of the context of the
message so the message will not be taken the wrong way
according to Karen Reynolds. If the message is taken the
wrong way, it could be detrimental to the relationship.
Communication is a very important component to a
successful relationship. As time goes on people’s attitudes
change because they have become more comfortable with a
person. This could hurt the way the sender may send the
message or the receiver interprets the message. In Daniel
Chandlers essay, he states that no allowance is made for
unequal power relations. In other words, he is saying that
individuals will not always feel that the other person’s ideas
are valuable or creditable.[3] In an interpersonal relationship
point of view, a man could never believe what the girlfriend
is saying according to his own standards, which would cause
havoc in their communication. The way to interpret a person
who communicates is different depending on the person;
therefore, the transmission model is a hard way to partake in
an interpersonal relationship, because the interpretation of a
message can change at any time.
Friendships consist of mutual liking, trust, respect, and often
even love and unconditional acceptance. They usually imply
the discovery or establishment of similarities or common
ground between the individuals.[4] Internet
friendships and pen-pals may take place at a considerable
physical distance. Brotherhood and sisterhood can refer to
individuals united in a common cause or having a common
interest, which may involve formal membership in
a club, organization, association, society, lodge, fraternity,
or sorority. This type of interpersonal relationship relates to
the comradeship of fellow soldiers in peace or war. Partners
or co-workers in a profession, business, or common
workplace also have a long term interpersonal relationship.
Soulmates are individuals intimately drawn to one another
through a favorable meeting of minds and who find mutual
acceptance and understanding with one another. Soulmates
may feel themselves bonded together for a lifetime and
hence may become sexual partners, but not
necessarily. Casual relationships are sexual relationships
extending beyond one-night standsthat exclusively consist
of sexual behavior. One can label the participants as "friends
with benefits" or as friends "hooking up" when limited
to sexual intercourse, or regard them assexual partners in a
wider sense. Platonic love is an affectionate relationship into
which the sexual element does not enter, especially in cases
where one might easily assume otherwise.
Interpersonal relationships are dynamic systems that change
continuously during their existence. Like living organisms,
relationships have a beginning, a lifespan, and an end. They
tend to grow and improve gradually, as people get to know
each other and become closer emotionally, or they gradually
deteriorate as people drift apart, move on with their lives
and form new relationships with others. One of the most
influential models of relationship development was proposed
by psychologist George Levinger. This model was formulated
to describe heterosexual, adult romantic relationships, but it
has been applied to other kinds of interpersonal relations as
well. According to the model, the natural development of a
relationship follows five stages:

1. Acquaintance – Becoming acquainted depends on

previous relationships, physical proximity, first
impressions, and a variety of other factors. If two
people begin to like each other, continued interactions
may lead to the next stage, but acquaintance can
continue indefinitely.
2. Buildup – During this stage, people begin
to trust and care about each other. The need for
compatibility and such filtering agents as common
background and goals will influence whether or not
interaction continues.
3. Continuation – This stage follows a
mutual commitment to a long term friendship, romantic
relationship, or marriage. It is generally a long, relative
stable period. Nevertheless, continued growth and
development will occur during this time. Mutual trust is
important for sustaining the relationship.
4. Deterioration – Not all relationships deteriorate,
but those that do, tend to show signs of trouble.
Boredom, resentment, and dissatisfaction may occur,
and individuals may communicate less and avoid self-
disclosure. Loss of trust and betrayals may take place
as the downward spiral continues.
5. Termination – The final stage marks the end of the
relationship, either by death in the case of a healthy
relationship, or by separation.

Friendships may involve some degree of transitivity. In other

words, a person may become a friend of an existing friend's
friend. However, if two people have a sexual relationship
with the same person, they may become competitors rather
than friends. Accordingly, sexual behavior with the sexual
partner of a friend may damage the friendship (see love
triangle). Sexual activities between two friends tend to alter
that relationship, either by "taking it to the next level" or by
severing it. Sexual partners may also be classified
as friends and the sexual relationship may either enhance or
depreciate the friendship.
Legal sanction reinforces and regularizes marriages and civil
unions as perceived "respectable" building-blocks of society.
In the United States of America, for example, the de-
criminalization of homosexual sexual relations in the
Supreme Court decision, Lawrence v. Texas (2003)
facilitated the mainstreaming of gay long-term relationships,
and broached the possibility of the legalization of same-sex
marriages in that country.
Flourishing relationships
Positive psychologists use the term "flourishing
relationships" to describe interpersonal relationships that are
not merely happy, but instead characterized by intimacy,
growth, and resilience.[6] Flourishing relationships also allow
a dynamic balance between focus on the intimate
relationships and focus on other social relationships.

Friendship

In a comparison of personal relationships, friendship is

considered to be closer than association, although there is a
range of degrees of intimacy in both friendships and
associations. Friendship and association can be thought of as
spanning across the same continuum. The study of
friendship is included in sociology, social psychology,
anthropology, philosophy, and zoology. Various theories of
friendship have been proposed, among which are social
exchange theory, equity theory, relational dialectics, and
attachment styles.

Value that is found in friendships is often the result of a

friend demonstrating the following on a consistent basis:

• The tendency to desire what is best for the other

• Sympathy and empathy
• Honesty, perhaps in situations where it may be difficult
for others to speak the truth, especially in terms of
pointing out the perceived faults of one's counterpart
• Mutual understanding and compassion
• Trust in one another (able to express feelings -
including in relation to the other's actions - without the
fear of being judged); able to go to each other for
emotional support
• Positive reciprocity - a relationship is based on equal
give and take between the two parties.

Types Of Friendship

The following is a list of terms that are used throughout the

world to describe some types of friendships.
Acquaintance: a friend, but sharing of emotional ties isn't
present. An example would be a coworker with whom you
enjoy eating lunch or having coffee, but would not look to for
emotional support. Many "friends" that appear on social
networking sites are generally acquaintances in real life.

Best friend (or close friend): a person(s) with whom

someone shares extremely strong interpersonal ties with as
a friend.

BFF ("Best Friend Forever"): slang used primarily in the USA

by teenage and young adult women to describe a girl friend
or close best friend.

Blood brother or blood sister: may refer to people related

by birth, or a circle of friends who swear loyalty by mingling
the blood of each member together.

Boston marriage: an American term used in the nineteenth

and twentieth centuries to denote two women who lived
together in the same household independent of male
support. Relationships were not necessarily sexual. It was
used to quell fears of lesbians after World War I.

Bro: In the USA, common term for best friends among men,
oftentimes in high school, college or early adulthood. This
term is also common in New Zealand.

Buddy: In the USA, males and sometimes females often

refer to each other as "buddies", for example, introducing a
male friend as their "buddy", or a circle of male friends as
"buddies". Buddies are also acquaintances that you have
during certain events. They could also be referred to as
internet contacts, such as the AOL Buddy List.

Casual relationship or "Friends with benefits": the sexual

or near-sexual and emotional relationship between two
people who don't expect or demand to share a formal
romantic relationship. This is also referred to an open
relationship or a "hook-up".
Comrade: means "ally", "friend", or "colleague" in a military
or (usually) left-wing political connotation. This is the feeling
of affinity that draws people together in time of war or when
people have a mutual enemy or even a common goal.
Friendship can be mistaken for comradeship.

Non-Personal Friendships
Although the term initially described relations between
individuals, it is at times used for political purposes to
describe relations between states or peoples (the "Franco-
German friendship", for example), indicating in this case an
affinity or mutuality of purpose between the two nations.

Regarding this aspect of international relations, Lord

Palmerston said:

“ Therefore I say that it is a narrow policy to suppose

that this country or that is to be marked out as the
eternal ally or the perpetual enemy of England. We
have no eternal allies, and we have no perpetual
enemies. Our interests are eternal and perpetual, and
those interests it is our duty to follow. ”

This is often paraphrased as: "Nations have no permanent

friends and no permanent enemies. Only permanent
interests."

The word "friendship" can be used in political speeches as an

emotive modifier. Friendship in international relationships
often refers to the quality of historical, existing, or
anticipated bilateral relationships.
 PARTNERSHIP

A partnership is an arrangement where entities or individuals

agree to cooperate to advance their interests. In the most
frequent instance, a partnership is formed between one or
more business in which partners (owners) co-labor to
achieve and share profits or losses.

Partnerships are also frequent regardless of and among

sectors. Non-profit organizations, for example, may partner
together to increase the likelihood of each achieving their
mission. Governments may partner with other governments
to achieve their mutual goals, as may religious and political
organizations. In education accrediting agencies increasingly
evaluate schools by the level and quality of their
partnerships with other schools and across sectors.
Partnerships also occur at personal levels, such as when two
or more individuals agree to domicile together. Partnerships
between governments, interest-based organizations,
schools, businesses, and individuals, or some combination
thereof, have always been and remain commonplace.

Partnerships have widely varying results and can present

partners with special challenges. Levels of give-and-take,
areas of responsibility, lines of authority, and overarching
goals of the partnership must all be negotiated. While
partnerships stand to amplify mutual interests and success,
some are considered ethically problematic, or at least
debatable. When a politician, for example, partners with a
corporation to advance the corporation's interest in
exchange for some benefit, a conflict of interest may make
the partnership problematic from the standpoint of the
public good. Developed countries often strongly regulate
certain partnerships via anti-trust laws, so as to inhibit
monopolistic practices and foster free market competition.
It is difficult to give a clear definition of a partnership, but
the essential ingredients are:
• To achieve something you could not do alone
• To pool skills and other resources
• To have a shared vision of your goals
• To work together to reach your goals
• To devise a long-term formal structure
• To devise a short-term agreement

Partnership Requires:

Faith: Faith is the confident belief or trust in a person, idea,

or thing that is not based on proof. The word faith can refer
to a religion itself or to religion in general.

As with trust, faith involves a concept of future events or

outcomes, and is used conversely for a belief "not resting on
logical proof or material evidence."Informal usage of the
word faith can be quite broad, and may be used in place of
trust or belief.

Feelings: Feeling is the nominalization of "to feel". The word

was first used in the English language to describe the
physical sensation of touch through either experience or
perception. The word is also used to describe experiences,
other than the physical sensation of touch, such as "a feeling
of warmth".

Co-operation: Co-operation is the process of working or

acting together, which can be accomplished by both
intentional and non-intentional agents. In its simplest form it
involves things working in harmony, side by side, while in its
more complicated forms, it can involve something as
complex as the inner workings of a human being or even the
social patterns of a nation. It is the alternative to working
separately in competition. Cooperation can also be
accomplished by computers, which can handle shared
resources simultaneously, while sharing processor time.

Benefits of Business Partnership:

• To share ideas
• To share joint finances
• To be aware of joint ambitions
• To bring two sets of skills into the partnership
• To be supportive, loyal and committed
• To learn to see things through someone else’s eyes
