Get complete control over your relationships. Be reconciled!
social assesment
“Social Assessment is the assessment or the evaluation of people to know where they are or why they socially behave in a particular way.” (Rev. Dr Moses Sowale)
self relationship awareness
Duval and Wicklund noted in 1972, “When we focus our attention on ourselves, we evaluate and compare our current behaviour to our internal standards and values. We become self-conscious as objective evaluators of ourselves.” In other words, when you focus on yourself instead of the environment, you can compare yourself with your standards of correctness. They help you know how you are supposed to think, they are your ideals.
bond & boundary
A bond is a relationship we create with other people because of shared interests. Travis Hirschi defines it as thus “Social bond is the degree to which an individual is integrated into the society.” It is also the binding ties or social bonding to the family.
It is also very necessary to have boundaries in relationships for the sake of space and to avoid toxic and unhealthy individuals. Creating boundaries helps individuals have a sense of control over their space. Bonds and boundaries among and between people in society is a normal way of life. We create bonds with others, and we also set important or necessary boundaries.
initiating, developing & terminating relationships
In this module, the skill of initiating, developing, and terminating relationships will be studied to help individuals understand how and when to get out of toxic relationships, and how to maintain good relationships. To initiate a real relationship, it is better to favour straight-forward, honest, attentive communication. Share your thoughts, feelings, and desires openly and honestly. See if there exists the potential for a fun, compatible match. If there’s no match, it is not a rejection.
fitting in, belonging & connection
According to Brené Brown in her book, The Gifts of Imperfection, “Fitting in is about assessing a situation and becoming who you need to be, to be accepted”. Belonging, on the other hand, is deeper than fitting in, belonging lets one express his real nature. Fitting in makes you conform to standards but belonging is when you can be yourself in a group of people and still be accepted.
standing out, out cast or misfit
The dictionary meaning of a misfit is a person who is not easily accepted by other people, often because their behaviour is very different from that of everyone else. For example, some people have been made to feel like a misfit because they do not want children. This is because wanting children is something tagged as normal according to society, so if an individual wants or does the opposite, he is seen as a misfit.
vulnerability - Blessings & curses
Vulnerability is the state of being exposed to hurt or danger. It has its advantages though, the blessings that come with being vulnerable are important, like letting people see us for who we are and creating a family of friends that love us for our nature. When we don’t hide anything, people are more prone to trust us. It comes with its curses too. Some may try to take advantage of a vulnerable person, and if that person is not sensitive enough, it could lead to terrible hurt.
conflict resolution
Alison Doyle defines conflict resolution as thus “Conflict resolution is the process by which two or more parties reach a peaceful resolution to a dispute.” In other words, it is the case where parties with conflicted sides finally come to some sort of agreement about their disagreement and then live peacefully. Resolving conflicts is one social condition that many people should learn about. If half of the world’s population could learn about conflict resolutions, then the world would be a more peaceful place to live.
losses & powerlessness
To lose something or someone, can lead to the feeling of powerlessness. When something is lost, there’s the human tendency to feel powerless over it, over the situation, even over yourself and many times, this inevitably leads to depression.
understanding your sexuality
This is very important for the sanity of your mental health, many young people need to be oriented on this issue. Your sexuality is a part of you and it is up to you to accept or discard it. But the reason for accepting or discarding your sexuality should be for a genuine reason and not because of others.
Also, respecting others with our sexuality is key. Individuals with different kinds of sexualities should be respected as human beings too and not be treated as outcasts, despite what one may believe in. People should try to understand other people’s sexuality and live harmoniously with one another.
forgiveness & reconciliation
“Differing from forgiveness, reconciliation is a process conditioned on the attitudes and actions of an offender. The goal of reconciliation is restoring a broken relationship. But those who commit significant offences must recognize that reconciliation is a process.” ( Rev. Steve Cornell) Forgiveness could easily take place, but it would more likely take a long process for reconciliation to happen. This depends on the attitudes of the offender, the depth of the offence, the pattern of offence (could be repeated offences). To forgive the one who offended you can be a very difficult emotional battle, talk less of reconciling with them.
romantic relationships
Romantic relationships can be seen as voluntary intimate relationships between two people who have intentions that each person will be a significant part of their ongoing lives. In a romantic relationship, the couple is committed to each other, and this kind of relationship is one that should (normally) be based on love. “An intimate relationship is an interpersonal relationship that involves physical or emotional intimacy. Although an intimate relationship is commonly a sexual relationship, it may also be a non-sexual relationship involving family, friends, or acquaintances.”
mentees & mentors
The relationship between a mentor and a mentee is one of understanding and trust. The mentor thinks of how to improve the area his mentee is interested in, while the mentee knows the kind of mentor he wants and pushes to be his best while gaining knowledge from him.
book study
Book study is an activity where people gather together to read and discuss a book or text for a specified number of days. Book study helps to engage students with information and helps in memory of what has been read. Discussing the book as it is being read is useful for students who want to remember the text.
