ANALYZE YOUR OWN RELATIONSHIP (Past or Present)

Your task is to descriptively and critically analyze the communication you experience in an interpersonal relationship of your choice (spouse, family member, romantic partner, close friend, boss). You must be one of the two people in the relationship-don’t analyze your parents’ relationship. If you choose to write about a son or daughter they must be at least 14 years or older.

The goal of this paper is to apply and combine the theories and concepts of this course. Use 6 concepts, no more, no less from the attached list and apply them to your relationship.

Each concept should be defined using the textbook definition. Then give 1-2 examples per concept. Analyze the motives or causes for you or the other person’s behavior. (This, of course is your perception). Using what you have learned from this class, generate solutions to identified problems and or find ways to improve/change something in your relationship.

Specific Guidelines:

· All papers MUST be typed and double-spaced, 12 pt font Times New Roman

· Minimum 5 maximum 7 pages (Minimum 1200 words)

· Define each concept with textbook definition (Glossary on Canvas)

· Give 1-2 examples of how this concept is part of your relationship

· Indicate how the relationship is affected (positive or negative) by this concept and the outcome of the relationship

· Generate solutions or ways to improve the relationship

· Proofread carefully: Points will be deducted for poor spelling, grammar and punctuation

· Use 1 outside reference to reinforce your ideas or concepts (See possible websites on next page) No dictionaries, encyclopedias (including wikipedia), or other class textbooks will count as an outside source
