The picture is talking about a story about neighborhood. Two ladies living in the opposite apartments say “hello” when they happen to meet each other in the corridor. One of them says, “I moved here 5 years ago, but I never met you before. Could I ask your name please?” The other says,” I have been here for 6 years. How should I call you?”
It seems very ridiculous that people living so near don’t know each other for such a long time. However, this kind of story is performed everywhere. It is the exact reflection of interpersonal relationships in the modern world. In the modern world, most people live in apartments. They close their doors and never go out as soon as they get home from work. If they live alone, they will kill their time by watching TV or reading magazines. They don’t have any connections even with their closest neighbors, who seem no different from people they meet everyday in the street. They become more and more indifferent.
This phenomenon is no good to us, nor to our society. People will feel lonely more and more. The world becomes so indifferent. Interpersonal relationships are not harmonious. It’s time that we took some measures to improve it. People living in the same zone can be organized to have some activities together. We should call on people to be friendly to each other. As a popular song says,” If everybody gives a little love to each other, the world will become the sea of love.”
On Students’ Interpersonal Relationship
Positive interpersonal relationships are vital for optimal human growth and development. However, in recent years, educators have expressed their concern about the ability of interpersonal relationship among students in institutions of higher education. According to a survey conducted by Hebei University, many college-age students regard interpersonal relationship as the biggest headache.
Increasing diversity and rapid changes in our society make interacting with others more and more complex and difficult. With limited life experiences and social skills, college students face more challenges in dealing with interpersonal relationship. This is especially true for students coming from rural areas. Because of the lack of social skills, they are often rejected by others — and rejection gives them even fewer chances to learn how to interact with others.
In my opinion, now that interpersonal relationship is important to students’ development, colleges should offer courses about comprehensive interpersonal relationships. The course should address the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviors involved in participating in positive relationships in the family and with individuals at school, in the community and in the workplace.
For college students, the stage of going to college is like the turning point of their lives. If they study well and have clear aim about their future, then they can get successful much more easier. But the interpersonal relationship can’t be ignore, it is also the very important lesson for students to learn.
When students come to college, learning the knowledge is not their only purpose, they also need to learn how to get along with others. We are not the only person in the world, it is necessary for us to make connection with others. It is very important skill to make a living.
In the college, interpersonal relationship can be tracked in the small issues, such as how to get along with your roommates. Most students never stay away from their parents, so they don’t know the rules to live with so many persons. It is important to be tolerant and nice to others, we need to consider things from the common interest. If we can handle this well, then we have the good social skill.
So having the social skill is the indispensable lesson for us.
Communication between people is of utmost importance. The importance cannot be stressed too much.
It is said in the Bible that once upon a time, humans communicated with each other in one language. So they attempted to build the Babel Tower to communicate with God, only to find such dream was a castle in the air. In the aftermath, humans were trapped into troubles due to the misunderstandings between them. The jealous God plunged us into such bitterness. Even now, people with different races and religions are dragged into endless wars. People are crying and dying! Such consequences are rooted deeply in the lack of communication. Therefore, lack of communication will lead to perish of human beings.
On the contrary, mutual understanding can be well-established between people if we communicate with each other. That is, the rapport between two countries will be strengthened and the misunderstanding will be reduced if there is a dialogue channel. Likewise, friends can become closer if they argue with each other. No one likes to but it is necessary to be healthy. Arguments between people are a way of communication, by which we can find a solution to the conflictions between us. Consequently, we promote the mutual understanding.
To conclude, through communication, mutual understanding can be promoted and fostered between people with difference races, religions, sex and ideologies. One way is to argue (not totally means quarrels) during the communication to clarify the different views. Lack of communication will surely lead to perish of mankind.
