Analyzing Interpersonal Relationships & Conflict Styles

Analyzing Interpersonal Relationships & Conflict Styles

Interpersonal relationships, as they?re expressed in the popular media, provide an interesting perspective on the ways in which our culture views relationships and on the principles of relationship communication it teaches. Think of all the media you?re exposed to throughout an average day and consider the messages you are receiving about relationships. Look at the media in any form?television (in dramas, sitcoms, commercials, talk shows, reality shows), newspapers, magazines, blogs, websites, music, and film?and try to identify the values and attitudes they communicate about interpersonal relationships. Think about these examples:

?Do the popular media approve of certain types of relationships and not others?

?How do the media ?define? friendship, love, and family?

?What do the media say about the rules for relationships?

?How do the media deal with the dark side of interpersonal relationships, such as relationship violence and spousal abuse?

Part II:

On page 161 of your textbook, different conflict styles are described. Using the questions provided in Table 8.1, write a concise reflection about which style describes you best. Consider how adopting a different style may be positive or negative for you.

TABLE 8.1 Five Conflict Styles and Their Consequences

Here are the five conflict styles and their likely consequences or outcomes (Blake & Mouton (1984). Do you have a general conflict style or does your conflict style vary with your relationship to the other person? For example, are you likely to engage in conflict differently depending on the other person, whether friend, romantic partner, work colleague, and so on?

Competing: great concern for your needs; little concern for other?s

Avoiding: little concern for your own or other?s needs

Compromising: some concern for your own and other?s needs

Accommodating: great concern for other?s needs; little concern for your own

Collaborating: great concern for your own and other?s needs

Both Parts I & II should be included in the same Word (.docx) file and should total about one double-spaced page in length.

Examining Your Community?s Source of Energy

Examining Your Community?s Source of Energy

It is easy to criticize society for not using renewable resources, but in reality, how difficult would this transition be? What processes and procedures would be involved? How would such a transition be made?
The purpose of this assignment is for you to consider what type of energy your neighborhood is currently powered by and what it would really take to convert this source to a renewable one. How much would it take to switch your community to a renewable resource and what would this mean for the environment?
For the assignment, complete the following:
Identify three primary types of energy that powers your home as well as all of the homes in your community. You may find this information on your community Web site or the Web sites of the local power companies. For example, your community may use electricity and solar panels.
Explain how the sources of energy you identified impact the environment. Consider the following:
Does the use of these types of energy resource have a negative impact on the environment in your area?
Does your community have nuclear waste to dispose of?
Has your community always used these three power sources? If so, how do you feel this has impacted the environment over time?
How much of an impact have these sources of energy had on local air and water quality?
Considering the current source(s) of power available, determine how much energy your house uses each month. You can find this information on your monthly energy bill.
Calculate your annual usage for a year. Using this value, estimate the energy consumption for your community. The US Census Bureau is one resource you can use to estimate the number of households in your community.
You can use the following formulae for this calculation:

(monthly energy usage) ? (12 months per year) = (household energy usage per year);

(yearly energy estimate for your house) ? (estimated number of houses in your community) = (estimated yearly energy use for your community)
The following is an example of the above calculation:
52.8 kilowatt hours (kwh) per month ? 12 months = 633.6 kwh;

633.6 kwh ? 200 houses in your community = 126,720 kwh
Recommend a realistic, renewable resource to power your community, using your calculated power needs. Consider the following sources: hydropower, solar power, wind turbines, and geothermal energy.
Which source would be the best for your community?
Justify your choice based on the kind of resources that are available, how much power these alternative sources can produce, and your estimated energy demands for the community.
Having recommended an alternative power source, conclude by addressing the following:
How realistic is this alternative power source for your community?
How will people in your community respond to energy conversion? Will they support it or be against it? Give reasons.
How expensive would it be to convert to the alternative power source you recommended? How would this new source impact the environment?
What organisms would benefit most from this conversion?
Support your statements with appropriate examples and approximately 4?6 credible resources.
Write an 8?10-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

How does your carbon footprint differ from theirs? Suggest ways in which your classmates can reduce their carbon footprint.

How does your carbon footprint differ from theirs? Suggest ways in which your classmates can reduce their carbon footprint.

A carbon footprint is the amount of greenhouse gas emissions that each individual produces. Calculating your carbon footprint can give you a new perspective concerning how much you are really contributing to the greenhouse effect.
In this assignment, you will apply what you have learned about taking personal responsibility for your environment and calculate your own carbon footprint.
Using The Nature Conservancy Web site, calculate your carbon footprint. You can calculate this by clicking on the calculator and filling out the estimated values. Access this Web site using the following link:
The Nature Conservancy. (2011). Carbon footprint calculator: What’s my carbon footprint? Retrieved fromhttp://www.nature.org/greenliving/carboncalculator/index.htm
Respond to the following:
Describe your final carbon footprint.
Classify where most of the carbon you generate comes from.
Considering all you have learned in this course, state if you feel you have a new appreciation for your role in the environment.
Examine how you impact the environment. Do you think you impact the environment more than you should?
Describe the part of your life that is contributing the most carbon.
Propose how you can reduce this number. In your opinion, explain if it is realistic for you to try and reduce this number.
Write your initial response in approximately 300?350 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
By Sunday, December 18, 2016, post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area. Through Wednesday, December 21, 2016, review and comment on at least two peers? responses. Consider the following:
How does your carbon footprint differ from theirs?
Suggest ways in which your classmates can reduce their carbon footprint.
