What is your famiy type?

Everyone has a different family type. The types are traditional, independent and seperate couples. My family type are all three. When I was younger, my family type was tradititional. We seemed like a perfect family. We ate together on Sundays, my mom cooked evey sunday. My mom was a house wife and my dad brought in the income. As I got older it change from traditonal to independent. My mom wanted to do things on her own. So my dad taught her how to pay the bills and showed her how to do other things. My mom always agreed with my father on everything. As she got more indepentdent she voice her opinion a lot. When I became a teenager they became separte. They had problems and it in up leading to a divorce. The reason for the divorce was they grew apart and they stayed togerther because of us.

How many people have someone they admire are think they know? Meaning that person does not really know you but you feel like you know them. The word for that is called parasocial. Parasocial are relationships that audience members perceive themselves to have with media personalities.Pg 222. I have a parasocial with many celebrities. I assume that I know what is going on in their everyday life. Sometimes I think I am real good friends with them. I can tell people their whole life story and think know what I am talking about. It sounds a little creepy when you talk about, but everyone does it. I develop a relationship with many celebrities that I admire by parasoical. It is good to have a parasocial relationship because celebrities would not be where they are today without it. You can do it by watching movies,videos or researching on the internet.

Territorial markers

How many people leave there marks everywhere they? Some people do without noticing it. As humans It becomes normal for us. Territoriality is another type fo communication having to do with sapce, the possessive reaction to an area or particular objects. Even animals have markers!(Pg 144) There are three types of markers I use. The first one is central marker which are items you place in a territory to reserve it for you. For example, when my boyfriend and I go to The movies, I go use the restroom and leave my jacket in the seat. That is to let someone know that if is occupied. The second marker is boundary which divides your territory from that of others. For example if you own a home and put a fence around your home, that is a boundary for people to know. The last one is ear marker which is marks that indicate your possession of a territory of object. An example would be having a nice car which says something about me. An example for an animal would be urinating on grass to mark theie spot.9Pg 145)http://images.search.yahoo.com/images/view?back=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.search.yahoo.com%2Fsearch%2Fimages%3Fp%3Dterritoriality%26b%3D22%26ni%3D21%26ei%3DUTF-8%26xargs%3D0%26pstart%3D1%26fr%3Dyfp-t-701%26fr2%3Dtab-web&w=500&h=452&imgurl=farm2.static.flickr.com%2F1224%2F1416029804_abcf440b2f.jpg&rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fjcgr1%2F1416029804%2F&size=216k&name=Keep+away&p=territoriality&oid=6ff97b111c0e8e46&fr2=tab-web&fusr=jcgr&no=32&tt=583&b=22&ni=21&sigr=11e088o0n&sigi=11m4v79g3&sigb=13rpc215c

relationships and rules

I know alot of people are in relationship but how can you read the person you are with. By saying read, meaning how can you tell if the relationship is a good one or bad? What are some of the rules that you guys have for each other? Currently I am in a relationship and it is a good one. Not perfect but who relationship is? My partner and I have rules. Sometimes he does not know what personal space is, so majority of the time I ask for it. For some reason he thinks when I ask him for space, he thinks I am breaking up with him. That theory is called relationship ruless theory which means relationships are held together by adherence to certain rules. When those rules are broken, the relationship may deteriorate and even dissolve.(Pg)219 Another theory I can compare my relationship to is equity theory, which means ratio of rewards to cost is equal to your partner's. For some reason, he puts more in than me. Previous relationships I have had, it has always been the opposite and I feel gulity about it. I overbenifitted in this relationship, which means feeling guilty.So what are your rules for any relationship?http://oregonstate.edu/instruct/comm321/gwalker/relationships.htm
