CONNECTEDNESS AND SEPARATEDNESS (concept map)
Concept map
- a simple application of the axiom.
- axiom can most likely be applied to a romantic relationship
- concept map explores the possibilities of a couples relationship basing on the axiom.
Just right: Each person has their me time. They respect each others differences butat the same time has their share of sacrifice to their individual autonomy. They provide
each other the space that each other needs.
Too clingy: One or both of them have minimal or no me time. There is too much
connection between the two. Individual identity is lost. One or both of them is too
dependent to the other.
Too distant: One or both of them have too much me time. There is too little
connection between the two that its even weird to call it a relationship. May happen
when one or both of them values too much their individual autonomy. One or both of
them is too individualistic.
