What is It

In this lesson you will know how social relationships affect your thinking
process as well as how you behave in some situations.

Social relationship affects one’s person thinking process and vice versa. As a

affect his social roles: these are sets of connected behaviors, obligations, beliefs,
duties and norms founded in a society.

Peer is one factor that contributed to the social behavior of youth. Most of the
youth today spend hanging out with friends instead of being with their family. If this
situation occurs frequently and without the parents’ supervision and guidance,
youth might do things incorrectly and become disobedient.

One simple social role that a student plays in his/her family is to be a good
son/daughter by following simple rules inside and outside his/her house, some of
them are helping their parents in doing household chores and giving respect to the
elderly.
