Answer:

1. Explain Relationship as an extension of personhood.

According to Frederick J. White - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6081772/

• Human social order recognizes the personhood of human beings within two competing constructs an existential construct that personhood is a state of being inherent and essential to the human species, and a relational construct that personhood is a conditional state of value defined by society. 
• These competing constructs establish personhood in both individual and interpersonal contexts. Within the individual context, existential personhood may be posited as a distinctly human state within the natural order, intrinsic to human life, and independent of the status of the human being. In the interpersonal context, the existential construct holds that personhood is not a creation of society, is not a right, and may not be altered or removed by human fiat. The relational theory presents contra assertions in these two contexts. 
• The Christian view is taken as a particular case of existential personhood. Arguments concerning the nature of human personhood are metaphysical and consist of philosophical beliefs which may be properly asserted in either construct. The interpersonal context of personhood lends itself to comparative analysis of the empirical results associated with both the existential and the relational constructs. 
• This essay provides an overview analysis of the existential and relational constructs of personhood in the interpersonal context and finds a broad range of results that are manifestly superior under existential theory. Such empiricism supports a normative conclusion that the good rest in the existential construction of human personhood, and gives credence to a claim of truth that personhood is an essential characteristic of the human species and is not a conditional state dependent upon the circumstance, perception, cognition, or societal dictum.

According to A Christian View of Diversity - https://www.geneva.edu/about-geneva/diversity

• God teaches us in Holy Scripture that the human race is one. As Paul preached to the Athenian philosophers, "From one man God made every nation of the human race, that they should inhabit the whole earth" (Acts 17:26). It is within this greater context of unity that humanity's diversity rightly appears. Hence, it is clear that the Bible provides no blanket endorsement of multiculturalism as it is sometimes expressed in the world of ideologies. Such diversity often begins with justifiable suspicions about cultural imperialism and racial prejudice but ends by shattering the human community into a thousand fragments -- each fragment a subculture zealously defending its interests against all the others.
• Rather, human diversification receives its first mention in Genesis 1:27, where the text announces the creation of the one human race: "So God created the human race in his own image male and female he made them." The text's singular term, "human race" (`Adam in Hebrew), is specified as diverse in gender, male and female. Diversification immediately receives further stimulus in the Cultural Mandate of Genesis 1:28: "Be fruitful, increase in number, fill the earth and subdue it." This divine command calls explicitly for the scattering of the race a theme that shall recur in the Genesis narratives and thus calls implicitly for cultural diversification.
