Generally, people in their 12-20 are adolescent. We can cleave off three sections: physical, cognitive and social changes in adolescence. Growth spurt, which is increased in height and weight and sexual maturation are two physical changes that mark an onset of adolescence. Growth spurt usually begins earlier in girls (9-10 years of age) than in boys (12-17). Boys suffer from voice change – it is lowered, so it is becoming squeaking and crackling, which is embarrassing. Moreover, they grow and gain weight so rapidly that they have problem with coordinating their bodies. Depending on being early or late bloomers both have some advantages and disadvantages. An early-blooming girl will be taller, stronger and faster than other girls, she could be “boy crazy”, might start dating younger than her peers and consequently marry younger unlike an late-blooming girl, who has more time to develop broad interests. An early-blooming boy has greater respect from peers because of his strength and dati...

Friendship is an interpersonal relationship in which must be the communication interactions between people. Moreover, it involves a “personalistic focus”, which is reacting to each other as unique, genuine and irreplaceable individuals. Whatsmore, it must not be destructive but should be characterized by mutual positive regard. There are five friendship needs that friends can serve. First is utility when someone has special talents or skills that will help you achieve specific goals. Affirmation – when someone affirms your value and helps you to recognize your attributes.

The net loom large in people’s lives nowadays, so it isn’t strange that some of them decide to interact via social networking sites. Despite unease of critics, who claim that these trend leads to death of face-to-face interactions, loneliness and lure into dangerous liaisons, researches paints a positive picture of this. For example, the Internet gives an opportunity to get and stay in touch for those who are separated because of geography, physical infirmity or social anxiety. Moreover, there are groups, which offer support for people with grave illnesses and researchers suggest that virtual relationships can be as intimate as face-to-face or evermore. At one point some people decide to move beyond and they begin with letters by “snail mail” or talk on the telephone. Then, if they are ready, come to a meeting. Also, romantic relationships that begin on the Internet seem to be as stable over two years as traditional. Moreover, 94% from a poll of 1000 internet users reported that it mak...

Attraction theory holds that people form relationships on the basis of attraction. You can be attracted to some people or not to others and they can be attracted to you and some are not.  Attraction is determined based on five main factors: similarity, proximity, reinforcement, physical attractiveness and personality, and socioeconomic and education status. The similarity is when someone is similar in nationality, race, abilities, physical characteristics, intelligence and attitudes to you. But of course, people are different so you can also prefer a person who has opposite characteristics and then it is called complementarity – for example when you are the pessimistic person you could be with the optimistic one. The next one is proximity – people that you find attractive are likely to live or work close to you. Physical closeness is most important in the early stages of interaction and it has decreasing tendencies but should remain significant. The third factor is reinforcement...

Nonverbal communication is an inseparable part of general communication with another human being. It concerns gestures, facial expressions, eye communication and touch. Often we do  not even think about it, it is involuntary. However, it is worth to learn how it works in different  cultures and for different gender and to improve awareness, because the emerging differences can  cause unwanted problems.  For sure we have to watch out for gestures. The same movement can mean something  completely different for two different people from different cultures. For example:  Folding your arms over your chest would be considered defiant and disrespectful in Fiji Gesturing with your thumb would be rude in Australia Resting your feet on a table or a chair would be insulting and disrespectful in some Middle Eastern countries   As we can see, for different countries, and thus their cultures, different behaviors may be perceived differently, while ...

Disneyfication is the term that describes our reality, which is, according to many sociologists  and philosophers, this what we can find in Disneyland. It resembles the commercial  transformation of society for who the only value is globalization and consuming material goods. This term isn't really positive because it refers to emotional labor, consumerism, merchandising.
