chapter 9 Friend, Love and Family

Written by: Soong Hao Jin

In chapter 9, I have learnt about the types and functions of friendship, love, and family relationship.  In the lecture class, lecturer asks us to work in pair to share your feelings or tell something special to the partner.  The purpose of this activity is to improve the friendship relationship between you and your partner. After I shared my experiences and feelings with my partners, I felt like my partner, Wayne is a good listener. Besides the friendship, love and family relationship are also important for us to achieve good life. 

Love is such a beautiful thing to us. There is few styles of love, which is 'game playing' love, passion love, love with long-term commitment and so on. I will prefer storge love, because it is primarily affectionate and close love. 

Further more, family relationship is very important for everyone. When we are facing problems and obstacles, family always stand behind us and support us to help us cross over the obstacles.
