Being social creatures, relationships are very important to our growth and happiness. We all form different types of relationships with a wide range of people during our lifetime, and these relationships can be diverse and fulfilling. Whether these consist of family, friends or others, it is important to understand the way to have and contribute to a healthy and productive relationship. The benefits include: a higher level of self-esteem, improvements to our mental and emotional health and also help enrich our lives and the lives of those we communicate with. Our personal well being is brought about when we have derived a sense of purpose and meaning for our lives, developing as a person and living a productive life.
We tend to connect to different people in different ways; these different types of relationships can benefit us throughout all stages of our life. Through our relationships, we are sustained and motivated by our personal growth and development. Relationships strengthen our bonds with other people and builds trust. From it we find that our self-esteem, self-confidence, emotional well -being and mental well-being are benefited. Relationships continue to provide us with the nurturing support that we need to grow and handle challenges that we may face in the future. However, it is important for individuals to communicate with each other in order to work together to find solutions to their common problems. In healthy relationships, people respect, support, and trust each other. We can accept each other for who they are, including ways to grow and change over time because our relationships change too.
Having a positive relationship with others is essential, and so is trust. Trust impacts everyone we come into contact with. It effects the quality of every relationship, every communication and every effort in which we are engaged. As social workers we need to strengthen the communication and interactions between families. If these relationships are strong, this will positively contribute to improve the individuals’ well-being and also the well-being of the whole unit Individuals can have a productive and meaningful life as a result of having stronger relationships with each other. Overall, the relationships need to be strengthened in order to benefit general societal well-being.
The individuals whom I wish to assist in this endeavor come from different races and cultures. We need to understand that an individuals’ culture can affect their behavior, views, ways of thinking, and learning. At the same time, we must have respect for our differences- no matter where people come from, what their beliefs are, and no matter their culture or ethnicity. Each of us are unique individuals and we have much to learn and teach each other.
For example, I consider myself to be from a diverse background. I am of mixed race. My mother is Mexican and my father is Black. I spent my life under the sole care of my Mexican mother. I grew up in a small town called San Juan in Hidalgo County, Texas. The county was 80% Hispanic and Latino. I enjoyed that I learned how to speak a different language. Eventually, I learned to become fluent in Spanish: and I could relate to the other cultures surrounding me. When people would hear me discussing something in Spanish, they would automatically assume that I went to school to learn the language, of course they did not know this was actually a benefit of my heritage. When I told them my mother is Mexican, I usually get a shocked reaction. I would say something to them in Spanish so that they realized that we had something in common. This is the common reaction I get from people in Texas. Although I never let that bother me. I learned that if you never ask questions about someone’s culture, then people would never learn to recognize their differences and similarities. If people take the time to enquire, our lives could be greatly enriched.
