Relationship Analysis Paper: Conflict
My friend Rocko and I have a unique relationship. We laugh, enjoy each others company and are very good friends through the bad and good times, But we also go through hardships like any relationship. Our biggest hardship is coming to an agreement about the status of our relationship. I am comfortable with being friends with him. I look forward to the fun we have when we are together and the silly arguments that we can laugh about. Unfortunately he is not satisfied with just being friends. He would rather be more than friends, he wants us to be a couple. I am comfortable with being just friends with Rocko, mainly because I genuinely appreciate the friendship we have build over the months, and I don’t want to jeopardize our friendship if things don’t work out between us as a couple. I also think that people are put into my life to play certain roles, and I consider his role to be a very good friend. I will admit that he is a very good person and I know he will do anything for me but I just cant see myself going further than a friendship with him.
The relationship with Rocko is turning sour by the day. He reminds me everyday why we should take our relationship further and barricades me with questions that I don’t feel comfortable answering. With all the questions and pressure to give him a reason why I want to remain friends, It becomes overwhelming and I try to avoid him every

    When confronted with conflict, peoples moral centre can cause them to act in heroic ways. When we are exposed to war and devastation our reactions to this......... Thousands of Chinese students gathered in a peaceful protest for basic Democratic reform at Tiannaman Square 1984. Due to these actions they were senselessly and inhumanely killed in cold blood by the Chinese Military. The students were unarmed and in no way of a danger to anyone. This devastation shocked the world and erupted massive conflict. One thing that this devastation proved to the world that during times of conflict where ones moral compass is tested there true heroism is revealed. A small, unexceptional figure in pants and white shirt, looking tiny next to the hulking tanks, carrying what looks to be his shopping, positions himself before an approaching tank, with a line of 17 more tanks behind it. The tank swerves right, he moves in front again. The tank swerves left, he moved in front again. Then this anonymous bystander climbs up onto the vehicle of war and says something to its driver, "Why are you here? My city is in chaos because of you." With a single act of defiance, a lone Chinese hero revived the world's image of courage. He was the “unknown rebel” also know as the Tanks Man a man who was immensely courageous and a beacon of hope. The courage that it took to walk out against such massive machinery, knowing good and well that it could very well be your last day on this earth is inspiring. He took courage to a whole new level, becoming a world hero of sorts. This ordinary everyday man had stood up to one of largest of armies which was an undeniably, extraordinary act. Another man who stood up for what he believed in response to such brutal and callous acts was a man named Bradley Manning. A man who new his moral obligation was to show the world what the Government was hiding from them. Manning was an…

    Conflict, whether we choose to admit it, is a part of life. Conflict may be sparse in a persons life, and most of which is over trivial things, but when faced with a conflict great enough, the very fibre of a persons being is tested, and how they react proves what kind of person they are. This testing only occurs when one is taken far from their comfort zones, and is such often difficult to see. This is not the case in regards to those involved in the witch trials of Salem in 1692.…

    At first glance I don’t look very friendly, and at second glance you realize I’m not. The reason being, I don’t want to tolerate people who bring drama into my life. For example, I had a close friend in middle school, when suddenly she changed. Maybe it was wrong for me not to accept her changing, but at the same time I know what I want to be surrounded by, and the new her was not it. She became someone I no longer enjoyed being around. Her values had shifted, being popular and going to parties were her new normal. I don’t value those things, and as a result, we are no longer…

    Most friendships and relationships that randomly build together are said to be the best. But do we know how they will end? Why they will end? Eventually, one person gets tired of the other and the relationship between both of you becomes unstable. Sometimes nothing happens between you two and things will just begin to feel different which draws each person’s feelings to slowly change. Two years ago on December 16, 2011, I committed to my first boyfriend, whom I had been friends with for a long amount of time. 10 months with my best friend had felt like such a long yet short period of time. Of course we had our many differences which caused changes to occur which weren’t exactly classified as good or bad. Soon many months passed and we began to gain no control of our own relationship; boyfriend wise and best friend wise. In general, people start getting tired and stressed with the many rumors that are said amongst others which lead to fighting, arguing, disagreement, and then separation. In time, we broke up but remained close. On December 16, 2012, my close friend started to become a friend who would just say hi to me in the hallways. Conversations between us were scarce or very short. Sooner or later, I thought, this friendship will abruptly end. And I was correct. It is now September 20, 2013 and there is nothing left. The “hellos” and smiles do not exist anymore and someone who meant…

    Approximately 6 months passed and we started talking again. I got to know him better and we easily became friends this time. Our friendship grew strong because we both play guitar, love photography and listened to the same music. Inclusively, he was a very outgoing person, a naturally gifted musician who I thought was the Kurt Cobain of this era. I use to laugh at that thought but he was actually really good at both drums and guitar. He once sent me a video of him playing a song he wrote and it said, “I hope to find the girl that's right for me, I can't wait to sing this to you”. Anytime I was sad he would cheer me up with songs. He treated me like no one else had ever treated me and always made it clear that I was very important to him. It was difficult to believe that a guy could treat a girl with respect, but he was definitely an exception and not the pervert I thought he was. Never did he mention anything out of the way, instead he was a gentleman, always making it clear that I was a big part of his life and that he cared for me endlessly. It was at that point that I started feeling strong emotions for this guy. Not planned or expected, but I tried to brush it off. I didn't need distractions and love only lead straight to heartbreak, but god, I falling for him and the way he treated…

    Having a “friend” sometimes isn’t always so simple. There are times were people may think they have a “true friend,” but in reality they don’t. Someone who wants a people to change because he or she is ashamed of who they are isn’t a “true friend.” Someone who talks behind one’s back, and who acts differently towards their “friend” when with other people, isn’t considered a true friend either. Another example of someone who maybe a “friend” but no a “true friend” is someone who hurts one’s feelings and doesn't care how he or she feels afterword’s. These are the kind of “friends” what will never there for someone when in desperate times of need. Sometimes friendships don’t…

    An occasional argument between friends provides the opportunity to learn from each other. Two people are not alike, and every human being is entitled to his or her opinion. Sometimes, we can learn good things from our company during a healthy argument. A good friend will desire the good of their friends for the friend's sake that are most truly friends. For an example, if they ask, “Do you like who I'm dating?" One might have couple ways to respond.…

    A social relationship I have with someone is one of my old best friends named chrissy. I’ve known her for about 8 years now and she was my very first best friend I met middle school. After meeting each other through mutual friends, we grew very close and found a lot that we had in common. Whenever other friends would come around as we would change classes every year, we would get jealous of replacing one another. It almost seemed like we were “dating” but not really. My expectations from our friendship was a lot because she was very important me almost as to consider her like my sister. I expected to get proven that true friends do exist and that no matter what, she would be by my side. She has proven that to me and everyone knew we were best friends. Due to the way she was with me, I always had mentality that best friends last forever. I get really attached to people and sometimes scared to ever lose anyone close to me. My friendship with her relates a lot to the METHOD because that’s exactly what occurred in the same order. As our friendship progressed, every year there would be periods of time where we “thought” we were mad at each other because of lack of communication at times. If I ever felt sad I always contacted or reached out to her first, I would wait and see if she would do the same and it went vice versa. It was freshman year when our school schedule changed and effected our friendship. Our classes were so distant from each other and we no longer shared lockers. She was part of the cheer team and so that took up most of her time. Plus, she met a lot of new girls and spend more time with them. My expectations changed and I understood that it was time consuming but communication went both ways. Most of the time I felt like I was the only one that made effort. Some investments I made were going to watch her perform. I paid and attended almost every game and I knew she appreciated that. That showed a lot about my person and I knew she felt proud to have…

    From my personal experience, I have learned that it is very difficult to be friends with a male who is sexually attracted to you when you do not feel the same way. For example, my sophomore year I befriended an adorable, nerdy kid named Bob. He was someone who I could easily talk to and our friendship quickly blossomed. One day, I was informed that he liked as more than a friend. This unfortunate occurrence was the demise of our relationship because it made for quite an uncomfortable atmosphere since I did not share his feelings.…

    Why friendship ends

    1. Sometimes the cardinal rules are broken. You’re dating an ex. You’ve “sided” with someone else. You’ve done something you established was a friendship no-no in middle school and have realized that it’s somehow still applicable in adulthood. And maybe these limits are set for a reason. Maybe we don’t deserve to give our time and energy to people who choose these things over us. Maybe it’s the best way that we’re shown who is really worth keeping around. Maybe it’s even more important to consider whether or not we choose our own interest over the feelings of a “friend.” Because when the former takes precedence to an unhealthy degree, we should be taught something about that relationship, it’s indicative of how we really feel about that person.…
