Friendship (from Latin amicus, friend, that possibly stemmed from love, love, even if they also say that the word comes from Greek) is an affectionate relationship, at first, not romantic-sexual characteristics, between two people. In a broad sense, is a human relationship which involves mutual knowledge and affection, and loyalty to the point of altruism. In this respect, one can say that a relationship between parents and children, siblings, other relatives, spouses or lovers, can also be a relationship of friendship, though not necessarily. The friendship may have its source, a survival instinct of the species, with the need to protect and be protected by other beings.Some friends call themselves “best friends”. Best friends often know more than their own families and spouses, serving as a confidant. To achieve this degree of friendship, a lot of trust and loyalty are deposited. Often the interests of friends are similar and demonstrate a sense of cooperation. But there are also people who do not necessarily interested in the same subject, but enjoy sharing time together, the company and friendship of each other, even if the activity is not to your liking. Friendship is one of the most common interpersonal relationships that most humans have in life.  In case of loss of friendship, it is suggested that reconciliation and forgiveness. Carl Rogers says that friendship “is the acceptance of each one as it really is.” Popularly, said that “the dog is man’s best friend.” Friend Day (also known as “Friendship Day”) is celebrated on July 20. The friendship has been considered by religion and popular culture as a vital human experience, including having been sanctified by many religions. In the poem of Gilgamesh, it recounts the friendship between Gilgamesh and Enkidu. The Greco-Romans had, among many other examples, the friendship between Orestes and Pylades. In the Bible quotes in the book of 1 Samuel, the friendship between David (who later became king in Israel) and Jonathan (son of King Saul) . The canonical gospels talk about Jesus’ statement, “No love can be greater than this, to sacrifice his life for his friends.” The wisdom of Solomon wrote in his Friendship Proverbs: “In all the time love the friend, and becomes distressed brother” The friendly relations are widely portrayed in literature and in film and television. as examples we can mention: Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, Sherlock Holmes and Watson, the Three Musketeers, The Laurel and Hardy, The Three Stooges, the series Friends, etc. ..

latimes: Fernando Dominguez, a copy editor at The Times, gets a byline in the Sports section today. His son Matt just made his major league debut Sept. 6.We were there for Matt’s first T-ball at-bat, when he hit the ball and ran to third base instead of first. We were there when he picked dandelions in the outfield, his focus more on the postgame snacks than whatever happened on the field.We were there when he smacked his first home run, when he made his first acrobatic catch, when he received his first little trophy and his face lighted up. We were there through good times and bad, on sweltering summe days and freezing winter nights.Photo: Florida Marlins third baseman Matt Dominguez fields a ground ball before starting a double play against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday.

The family is a primary social group that influences and is influenced by other people and institutions. It is a group of people or a number of domestic groups linked through descent (demonstrated or stipulated) from a common ancestor, marriage or adoption. In this sense the term is confused with the clan. Within a family there is always some degree of kinship. Members of a family often share the same surname, inherited from the direct ancestors.The family is united by ties capable of maintaining multiple members morally, materially and each other for a lifetime and during gerações.Podemos then define family as an invisible set of functional demands that organizes the interaction of members of the same, considering it also as a system that operates through transactional patterns. Thus, within the family, individuals may be subsystems, and these may be formed by generation, gender, interests and / or function, with different levels of power, and where the behaviors of one member affect and influence other members.The family as a social unit, faces a number of development tasks, differing in terms of cultural parameters, but having the same roots Eiguer University of Alberta, the French psychoanalyst, in his books “A Couch for the Family” and “The Relationship Ghostfreak” establishes some “organizers” that guide the choice of partner. For him, marriage and, by extension, the family, are structured by unconscious mechanisms associated with the early experiences of vinculação.Alberto Eiguer builds a model of intersubjective links narcissistic and object, from which emerge the representation of the ancestor who awakens identifications filled or hollow , structural or annihilating. And so, now shows that it is necessary - if we admit that the subject is used as a defense of the other as the source and engine of your imagination - think of the family in terms of “transgeração” and “familial myth.” States that “the parental objects are the core of the family unconscious,” for better or for worse, the psychiatrist and psychoanalyst thinks Claudio Costa
