    The document summarizes the responses of a mathematics teacher and their former student to a series of questions. While they share some values like concern over overpopulation and declining vision, their responses also highlight generational differences in their career goals, priorities, and views of freedom and faith. These differences stem from being raised and taught differently, contributing to the nature of their relationship as one with some similarities but also important differences due to the generation gap in their thinking.

    Reflection

    History of relationship

    The partner in this report is my mathematics teacher. He taught me when I was in school, and I

    know him for many years now. He is also 20 years older than me. He was not only my teacher

    but my counselor and advisor too.

    Values contribute to similarities in our relationship

    In the third statement, both of us are concerned about our declining vision due to old age. This is

    due to the reason that vision is the most important thing in a person's life. Loss of vision is feared

    by everyone. In the fifth statement, both of us feel that overpopulation poses a big threat to the

    future as it is the root cause of all other problems in the economy. Since my partner's generation,

    the problem of overpopulation is rising and has caused many problems till now. Both of us feel

    that a traitor is more harmful than anybody else because he carries more information than the

    terrorist, and he will be more harmful if he betrays.

    Values contribute to differences in our relationship

    In the first statement, I preferred to take a Bible with me as I feel that I have poor knowledge of

    the religious values, but my partner said that he will study the history of civilization as he is of

    other generation and is more interested in remembering the past. In the second statement, I

    preferred to be a corporate executive but my partner said that he will like to be a director. There

    is a difference between his career goals and my career goals. In the fourth statement, I am willing

    to give up my freedom of religion more easily, but my partner is willing to give up his economic

    freedom more easily. This may be due to the fact that he places more value to religion and he
    cannot change his faith and believes for anything but I believe that practicing any religion does

    not matter much. My partner believes that joining the service will end the war, but I feel that a

    march will be louder as it will involve more people that those who joins service. My partner says

    that it will be more difficult for him to introduce a Muslim extremist to his family as he and his

    family may be orthodox but I feel that it will be more difficult for me to introduce a convicted

    fellow to my parents. My partner says that the spouse who keeps the house messy is more

    difficult to deal with, but I feel that the one who interrupts is more difficult to handle. This is due

    to the reason that the people in my generation need more freedom and does not like anyone

    interfering with it.

    Importance of values and generational differences in defining the nature of this relationship

    This shows that there are more differences between the two of us. We have the generation gap,

    and we think differently. Also, our priorities, values, beliefs are very different from each other.

    Since we have been brought up and taught differently, so we carry varied opinions, and this

    affects our relation too.
