Theme 2 - Friends


 The second theme that our group is going to look at is that of ‘Friendship’.  According to sociologists, one of the most important stages in an individual's emotional development is that of forming friendship bonds.
Friendship comes after parental bonding and before peer bonding. In the intervening period between the end of early childhood and the onset of full adulthood, friendships are often the most important relationships in the emotional life of the adolescent, and are often more intense than relationships later in life.
It is for this reason that we found this to be an adequate second theme. A friend is defined as a person whom one knows and with whom one has a bond of mutual affection, typically exclusive of sexual or family relations.
The following movies are a review of different types of friends and friendship bonds.

Enjoy!
