Question

Vanessa is a 15-year-old whose mother enjoys shopping with her as well as sharing in the latest gossip about V anessa’s friends. She allows Vanessa to come home when she wishes and has little expectations in terms of chores or homework. Their relationship could be an example of which type of the following?

Answer 1

a horizontal relationship

Step-by-step explanation:

In a horizontal relationship the power that the members have is equal. This means that person is not above another in terms of power that they have. It is a democratic form of relationship.

In a vertical relationship one member has more power over another. The powerful can dictate over the weak.

Here, Vanessa's mother considers her daughter as equal. The fact that she is her parent does not influence their relationship.

Hence, the relationship that Vanessa and her mother have is of the horizontal type.
