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…

    I am writing in response to the prompt ‘conflict is an inherit part of life; it isn’t necessarily negative. Based on my knowledge of the text, The Rugmaker of Mazar e Sharif I will write an expository piece in the form of an analytical essay to highlight to the readers that conflict isn’t necessarily negative. I have chosen to do this because I believe that conflict is a part of life as it can bring good and bad for individuals.

    Without conflict we won’t truly know the capacity of someone’s inner strength and understanding. Conflict is a true test which raises issues that otherwise wouldn’t be raised, issues which need to be dealt with in order for us to grow as a person. As well as testing a person’s inner strength and understanding it can also expose their weaknesses and flaws.…

    'Expectations', is a word that is constantly orbiting my head. For every exam I sit for, for every sport I play, fir every decision I make, I get flooded with expectations. The source can be my parents, friends, school and even myself. In fact when I don’t meet these expectations a conflict is created. Frustration is the inevitable result of this issue. When I play soccer and don’t score, I get angry. When I don’t do good in school my parents get angry. All of this happens because of the level of expectations. I am not the only victim of this tyranny. Other people, families and even a whole country can have the weight of expectations on its shoulders. If guns are legalized in a nation the government along with many people expect the guns to be used for protection only, but there are some "rebels" who will use guns for killing and destruction. Situations like these spark conflicts. In fact this is the current situation of America.…

    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.…

    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…

    Changes Over the Year

    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…

    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…

    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…

    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.…
