Relationships
Relationships:
Ways people are connected to others.
Personal and work relationships can directly affect a person’s actions and decision-making. One person can be a mother, a sister, a grandmother, a co-worker, a boss, and/or combinations of any of these. These relationships can frame a person’s total identity. A person who is a parent often chooses to do things in their children’s best interests instead of their own. Relationships aren’t just between people—some people’s relationships with their pets or plants can shape their priorities and provide a source of belonging and relatedness.
