How can I discuss how my values are aligned with social work value of the importance of human relationships?

Dawn asked:


and the context of enhancing the well being of vulnerable groups?

Relationships are a part of life. The relationships we have with family will affect every aspect of our lives. Our relationships also provide for our most basic human needs. While helping us to have a fulfilling life, our relationships encourage us to reach our fullest potential. Through our relationships, we are sustained in our personal growth and developement. The family unit is very important whether you are a child or an adult. Our relationships are the substance to how each of us grow and interact with each other. The relationship substance strengthens our bonds and builds trust. As we grow, we learn from life experiences after leaving our parents.
Re-enforcement of values is what makes us who we are as individuals. For example, support and confidence from others helps to mold us into being a positive part of society. What makes an individual who they are, is contributed by everyone who has helped and guided that person.
Relationships play a central role throughout our lives. The family structure may be different for every individual. For example, whether our family structure is composed of one or both parents, or other family member, strong support from others is important for that individuals’ well being.

How are relationships between the Hmong people and Black Americans?

solarboystephen asked:


Don’t answer this question if you don’t know anything about the Hmong, please? I was just wondering how these types of relationships are viewed in the Hmong community because I’m a Black American and my girlfriend is Hmong, and her parents (very traditional from what I have learned) don’t appreciate the fact that she is dating an American Black dude. Just want to know where this stems from. Thanks. ^-^
I totally don’t want her to lose her parents. I want to actually get to know them and hopefully someday we can just accept each other for what we are.
