This research paper was the most challenging but rewarding project that I have done. I connected relational turbulence theory to a topic of communication. I used this theory to elaborate on why ignoring issues can lead to communication devastation in families. I researched the theory, along with the communication topic. This combination of doing research, elaborating on a theory, and using it to explain the communication was a challenge. Despite this, I believe that this assignment gave me the best hands on experience of what it means to be a social scientist.
