The topic we discussed today in class was healthy
relationships in college and beyond. We learned a lot about how what
constitutes a healthy relationship, how to handle fights with a partner, and
how to spot sexual violence. This
is a particularly interesting topic for me because I have been in a long-term
relationship for quite some time. It is nice to know how to make my
relationship healthier. This topic
impacts my life because of this relationship. I know that I don’t have an abusive relationship by her list
of signs and I have learned how to keep things fresh. It also impacts my life because relationships can affect all
the separate spheres of wellness. Relationships can also greatly affect public
health. If there is a sexual abuse incident that occurs in a bar because of
alcohol consumption, multiple people can get hurt. It is important to spot these sexually abusive relationships
behavior early and take the necessary steps to stop these kinds situations.
There are relationships all around us. Having a healthy relationship with not
only your partner but with your friends and people you interact with is
important for public health also.
Respecting others space and being thoughtful of others can cause a better
and healthier environment for everyone to live in. One of the questions I have
is how to better balance a relationship with school, friends, work, and other
activities? I would also like to know more about the negative affects of
alcohol on a relationship.
I thought it was interesting to learn about the different aspects of relationships in college, especially dating relationships. It truly does impact every aspect of wellness. It's hard to maintain a healthy relationship in college because of how busy a student is all the time. I think it is best to prioritize what is most important to you and then spend the time you have with each aspect of your life.
ReplyDeleteI really liked Daniel’s post because he was able to comment on and apply the talk from class to his own personal life. He noted how he enjoyed the Healthy Relationships lecture because he has been in a long-term relationship for a while, so he felt like the information he heard was applicable. I also really liked the example he used of how healthy relationships can affect public health. His example was that if an abusive relationship causes a fight in a bar, then many people can get hurt. My best friend actually got hit in the face last semester in a bar because a guy was trying to swing at his girlfriend, so Daniel’s example really hit home for me. A question Daniel proposed at the end of his post was, “How to better balance a relationship with school, friends, work, and other activities?” I think this is a great question because I, too, struggle with how to incorporate the quality time a relationship requires into my already busy schedule. Overall I think Daniel’s post was insightful and reflective!
