Power In Relationships

Power In Relationships

Create two columns on a piece of paper. In the first column, write the names of three individuals with whom you have different relationships (e.g., parent, best friend, classmate). For each person, use a scale from 1 (low) to 5 (high) to indicate the degree to which each person likes to be in control and make decisions when you're together. In the second column, indicate the degree to which you like to be in control when you are with each person. How do these differences and similarities affect your relationship? How effective do you think you could be in changing the power if you wanted? 

Write at least one page to address this question. Give examples where necessary.
