In this essay, I will outline my understanding and knowledge of human interaction both with my own personal real world experience as well as using a piece of fiction to reflect on the manner. Having worked several jobs since I was 17 years old, I have had the opportunity to work with a large variety of different and unique individuals. During this time not only did I learn to communicate and interact better and “come out of my shell” more, it allowed me to learn the importance of team work as well as the value of human interaction itself.

This is a series whose popularity rose so vastly due to the fact it is one of the only if not the only fictional medium that explores human interaction in a way that is so remarkably complex, yet incrediblty well done, that is simply has to be seen at least once in a persons lifetime.

The main character is then not only forced to deal with these new characters on a one-to-one basis, but also live and share the same rooms together.
Later on in the show, the complexity of the scenarios in which the characters are placed in become more in depth but also very recognizeable to us as people going about our daily lives. We see first hand how our main character deals with these new relationships, and the widely different life styles that all the characters he lives with have. In a way, this is very similar to my own experience of getting my first job, I learned and dealt with many different individuals than myself and worked with a large variety of different individuals all of which were much different than
