Question One (300 Words)

If you are a Facebook user, scroll through your list of friends and consider how many of the relationships are personal and how many are impersonal.  What makes some of your relationships personal and what makes them impersonal?  What factors affect your appraisal of these relationships (for example: irreplaceable, disclosing, intrinsically rewarding, unique)?  How else do you communicate with these people besides Facebook (for example face to face, telephone, texting, other social media)?

If you do not use facebook, reflect upon your relationships in general and discuss the issues above.
