Two of the most important qualities in healthy, long-lasting relationships are communication and vulnerability.
Communication involves both <em>transparency to talk about anything which praises or challenges the relationship</em> as well as <em>close attention to listen and internalize feedback</em>. Open, judgement-free communication allows people to feel meaningful and respected as it promotes personal growth through good disposition to let feedback shape us. Therefore, a sense of stability is created which encourages preference for one such relationship over many others lacking these essential elements.
Vulnerability is the act of <em>allowing others to see our true self, (weaknesses, fears and needs included)</em> as well as that of <em>opening trust channels to let others show us theirs</em>. Vulnerability allows people to feel a deeper level of emotional involvement which increases positive attachment in any relationship. It is not easy to accomplish given our drive for self-preservation which naturally avoids potential emotional pain after a let down. However, only by incresingly putting our guard down and creating healthy spaces for others to put down theirs can we assure a relationship to stand the test of time.
Communication and vulnerability contribute to healthy, long lasting relationships.
For some, Open Mic Night at the local bar might conjure up some pretty bad memories - random people yacking about this or that, one minute a guy tells you about the novel ways to trim your hedges into the likes of farm animals, while another talks about his belief that aliens live amongst us. You and your buddies roll your eyes and dash for the door. And this is for good reason! Neither speaker took the time to consider some very important things.
You see, when a speechwriter sets out to draft a winning speech, he not only considers the topic - he thinks about the speaker, audience and purpose of the speech. Why, you ask? He does this mostly to keep the attention and interest of his audience. Let's take a closer look at this.
compare or contrast is my answer. In the text they compared the pros of the grocery store to the farmer market. And contrasted the cons of them.
Answer:
Incomplete.
Explanation:
As per the question, the given sentence would be characterized as an 'incomplete' sentence as it is syntactically and semantically fragmented. It comprises of two subordinate clauses which fail to convey a coherent thought. Grammatically, a subordinate clause is accompanied by an independent clause to accomplish its meaning but here the sentence involves two subordinate clauses back to back which leaves the meaning unaccomplished.
In order to rectify the error, the second subordinate conjunction(i.e. 'before') could be removed to make the latter clause of the sentence independent and add a comma(,) after the subordinate clause so that they together(subordinate clause followed by the principal clause) convey a coherent thought(syntactically and semantically appropriate). It read as:
'After copying the information, you begin the following steps.'
