“Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same” –Anonymous. Friends are truly so important in our lives. This has been true all throughout history, although sometimes friendships were encouraged more than others. The conditions during the Great Depression simultaneously fostered and discouraged friendships. John…
Money build up the bridge of relationships. Human nature was materialized in that time. The reference point of a person is how rich he is. Because of that, people have been divided in to different classes. That means all of your friends are live in the same…

Exposure and close proximity will lead to learning more about the other person. A better understanding helps to foster closeness and common interest. If one is around someone regularly, one will learn how to get along with the other person. When parties whom are at odds with each other work together on a common goal, they each learn to develop comradeship. Cooperation can facilitate in conflict resolution as well.…

In many western societies, friendship is portrayed in a very positive and desirable light, and most of all something people have the freedom to choose, unlike kinship. However as examined further in this essay, friendship means and functions as many different things to different people and can be influenced by an array of different social factors. There are various stages in the life-course that provide both opportunities and threats to the development and maintenance of friendships, yet it is evident that friendship does change and evolve in meaning and function through the life course.…

A second issue, is the fact that many newly rich people become paranoid for many reasons. Firstly, after becoming rich, they can’t distinguish a real friend from one that is just interested on their money. Secondly, after lottery winners spend their money with useful things, they start to waste money with useless addictions like casinos, horse races, and money bets. Besides spending money with those addictions, newly rich people start to live this addicted annoying life, which being respected is a synonym for being rich.…

In my family and community protecting their interest and needs was essential to maintaining personal and professional relationships. Developing a friendship required more the geographical nearness or shared interest (e.g. sports, entertainment, religion, politics, etc.) enough those components are significant to learning more about a person and having something to talk about. Disagreements or agreements, a person must know what their potential friend values. For example, two people can have differing opinions on every subject, but if they believe that loyalty is the key to a relationship then all these non-denominators are not a factor. They will develop a shared interest (e.g. safety, health, well being, occupation, etc.). However, two people who agree on every subject, but one believes loyalty is key and the other things it is when it is necessary, then relationship will remain in the acquaintance stage rather than developing into…
When money is a factor of any situation, it can become the root of all evil and lead to the destruction of many. People will go to great measures to become rich regardless of anyone affected along the way. This is why many people turn a good thing like having a lot of money turn into a horrible thing like being worst off than before their wealth. After winning the lottery for example, the ruinous trait of greed is commonly seen in the character of a lottery winner. They become selfish and excessive with the desire of having and buying more with their winnings than they have or necessary. Once the winner is publically established, strangers know who the winner is and begin to hassle them for their money. Not only is the greed of strangers a winner’s worry, even their own family and friends feel that they deserve some of their money. As a result, money causes the impulsive desire of the need to greed and the spending of more than people are worth resulting in their bankruptcy.…
CONCLUSION: So, some people have money, others have happiness. Everyone chooses his/her way of being happy. Some people choose to have a lovely and loving family, peaceful…
Formation of such friendship is far from simple; individuals who seek relations with others must first bear the burden of evading those who are of bad virtue, spend much time familiarizing themselves with many different people in order to find commonality, and at the same time, introspectively put into question their own ideals, values, and virtues. Because of the inherent uncertainty involved in this mutual engagement of two people, it is therefore necessary that each man is willing to complete his duty in extending to the other his true sentiments and intentions of amicability, and that the other does the very…
Friendships of utility are based on people who are useful to each other. This is the sole reason behind them being friends. A good example of a friendship of utility might be the relationship between a car salesman and a car buyer (John L. Fjellstad). The car salesman needs the buyer because he has to make a living and the buyer needs the salesman because he needs a car. Both have something the other wants. These friendships do not last very long as once the buyer is no longer useful to the salesman, or visa versa, the connection is severed and the friendship ceases to be. Friendships of utility…
Young or old, male or female, white or black, poor or rich, we all crave for friendship. A friend in need is a friend in deed. We not only turn to friends for happiness, we can also count on them when we have trouble. But can two people who have huge difference in the amount of wealth become good friends? In my opinion, it’s far from possible. To further illustrate my point of view, I present three conspicuous reasons as follow.…
