Author Joseph DeVito writes about communication and relationships and how you can improve these aspects of your life. I decided to write about family communication because family has always been a big part of my life. I value any information that can assist in maintaining a healthy relationship and communication with my family. I was surprised when I found out there were names for the things that I do. Throughout the book I was able to truly understand and relate to the concepts. I was able to…
the past and the future of the relationship. Like in most relationships there are both happy and bad memories. However, if the relationship is filled with unresolved conflict and negatively it can be hard to remember the positive times or why you got married in the first. Without proper communication skills couples can easily create a hostile environment for the marriage to grow and overcome hard times. Constructive support is generally better for the relationship rather than negativity or…

seems more isolated than the rest. As a supporting protagonist, he lives alone in an abandoned apartment. The description of Isidore’s living situation fills one with loneliness because, at the beginning, he has no one to develop an interpersonal relationship with. The fact that he still lives on Earth further deepens his isolation. His social class, intellect, and radiation poisoning have made it almost impossible for him to leave Earth. He is described as a “chicken head,” the lowest social…

Some hardships include marital issues, forgiveness, and trying to do the right thing. Multiple themes are shown in this movie love, courage, trust, and forgiveness. In this movie you would learn about redemptive love and the power of prayer. You will also learn how God never gives up on us when we turn away from God’s will.…
If I were to try to put Ann Thein into categories from our first interview, she would be a first generation immigrant, an extremely active 75 year old retiree, and a person whose family is never far from her mind. However, just assigning labels doesn’t do her justice. She and her family came to the United States in 1948 when she was only seven years old, but it’s clear that “immigrant” is not a term she would use immediately to describe herself because she has very much accepted the values one…

One of the most important values that I noticed being practiced was the importance of human relationships. Working in a hospital setting with children it is very necessary to emphasize how needed stable relationships are to the young clients. This can be seen in practice by the way that on ground visits and phone calls are encouraged as well as mandatory family therapy. When focusing on relationships I also see the value of worth of a person being demonstrated because it is showing that to the…
Honesty is the cornerstone of any healthy relationship. In both stories, Kemp and the narrator of The Gargoyle build strong relationships with another individual that is based upon false pretences. This deceit that lies within their relations with others disrupts the stability they achieve and presents them with opportunities to be resilient. At the start of Panych’s play, Kemp does not have a strong relationship with his aunt Grace. Throughout the play, he speaks almost all of the lines. His…
