As we mature, we begin to reflect on ourselves and our relationship with others, including our friends and parents. We know what it is to be loyal to a friend and to have a family that supports us. We also know the challenges that our friends, family and other relationships can give us. We know what it means to get into disagreements, to be betrayed by a friend, or to hold a grudge. This unit invites us to think more deeply about the relationships that affect our lives and the role that loyalty and love play in those relationships.
