Today's presentation called "Healthy Relationships" was quite insightful, and in my opinion a much better presentation than the last (Get Sexy, Get Consent). The presentation, as the title suggests, is about having a healthy relationship with someone. One of the main points that stuck out to me was having respect for yourself, for one main reason. That is, respecting yourself makes disrespect seem a lot more obvious, and you shouldn't stand for that shit. Especially when it's coming from someone that is supposed to respect you, and without that respect, the relationship is most likely not going to end well. Also, another point that was made, was that people have the ability to be both polite and assertive. Though being assertive (at least in my mind) is usually not tied with being polite. This doesn't have to be the case, as in the example that the speaker brought up, if you don't want to do something in particular that your significant other wants to do, you can politely and assertively communicate that you don't want to join. Overall, I would say there were some important and interesting points that were made by the speaker in this presentation, and I am happy to say that I learned something from it.
