i love the poem you decided to include in this post. you question is good, although is seems very vague. i began to get a better understanding of it after i read the information you posted at the bottom along with the poem. you should consider maybe just rewording the question, to make it more clear your talking about the bond between two friends. make it more clear about the excepted feelings to come out of a friendship.
something like that. i hope this was helpful. i look forward to seeing what you come up with=

EVAN, good question. i like the idea of Matthews comment. i like that this question deals with two types of time periods, of the teenage and adulthood. if you want to go deeper and more specific you might want to consider narrowing it down to positive or negative effects. how much of an impact do parents have? this sounds good and i will be interested to see what you come up with :) ARDEN
III. Based on the awesome feedback i got (thank you!!!) i revised my question to some thing more along the lines of: What are commonalities of a good friend in the different types of friendship relationships? What are the primary qualities between good friends?
"Zodiac Compatibility: the 12 signs." Horoscope. N.p., 2010. Web. 12 May 2010. http://www.astrology.com.au/12signs/index.asp
Certain horoscope types are said to be more compatible with others. Each Zodiac sign is a person that inquires certain traits. Based on a a persons zodiac sign it is easy to figure out their characteristics and how well two people are get along together. the whole idea of atromomy is thr configuratiosn of the stars in the sky. based on the configurations of the stars or the astrological influence make people become friends? it all has to do with energy. it does seem to be true that people are drawn to others with a positive energy. Which makes me wonder what traits help develop the relationship and this traits resist it?
Stevenson, Jessica. "How To Find True Friends."About: teen advice n. pag. Web. 12 May 2010. http://teenadvice.about.com/od/friends/tp/qualities_of_good_friends.htm
Friendships are not easy to find, they require great amounts of time and effort. more or less we all have a similar definition of what a good friend is and what we expect of them. Jessica Stevenson writes about just that, all the rules and qualities a good friend should have. Majority of people all over the world would probably agree with the list of statements she makes in this article. all the qualities of being honest, loyal and accepting you for who you are. although it is all mostly cliché and receptive, i believe that some of it is true and that people are looking for the ideal friend. the friend who follows these guidelines, although they may not exist.
"How to Make Friends And Get a Social Life." Succeed Socially 2010: n. pag. Web. 13 May 2010. .
Friends are a crucial part of our lives. we all need to have friends. Surprisingly, making friends is not a easy thing to do. it is an automatic fail if you just approach someone and ask to be there friend. and trust me it has happened. "It may take a while before you get a chance to meet some people you're compatible with." in this article it explains how to ease into a friendship with someone. it covers some parts of how to tell a good friend from a bad one. but what does that mean?
"Friendship - Influence Of Friends On One Another ."Encyclopedias. N.p., 2010. Web. 13 May 2010.
we may spend more time with our friends than we do with our families. In most cases they are the ones who know us the best. although "friends" are always said to have our backs they are not necessarily the best influence on us. this article describes the effects friends can have on other friends. once a person spends enough time around someone else they start to conform to each-other. there is not way to prevent it. it always expresses points where a person views of their friends change. growing up changes our defination and outlook on friendship, "As children grow older, their conception of friendship may change."

Arden to begin with I like your topic because friendship is something nearly all of us experience and what makes a good friend is something we can all relate to.
ReplyDeleteJust something to think about would be, does what you want out of a friend vary by situation and context?
also Are there certain commonalities in friendship we all look for, what are the universal necessities we have to have in a friend? this is very similar to your original question but it introduces the idea that what makes a friend is a global phenomenon/ideology.
you guys have really good suggestions. thank you so much!!!
ReplyDeleteArden,
ReplyDeleteI think your question is good but try to make it seems to broad. Maybe a good question could be What makes a true best friend? And what are the expectations of a true friend? Or if you don't think that's a big help then maybe try your best to expand on your question. I'm looking forward to reading your research paper :]
thanks partner
