For week six, the activity was about confirming behavior, which is simply defined as the acceptance of a speaker’s identity and emotions as legitimate through the messages that are transacted. The activity itself involved five different real-life dialogues. For each, I gave either a positive or a negative response, dependent on the type of response as indicated.

1. For some doing wrong is a sense of pleasure, rather than doing the right thing. Some people find life better to do others wrong rather than being a victim of someone who has done them wrong. Glucson makes things clear when he states that “those who practice justice do so involuntarily and because they have not the power to be unjust will best appear if we imagine something of this kind”. In other words, to my understanding he is making it clear that those who practice justice have come to an agreement for those who do things justice vs others who do wrong-doings.…

Linda, I've known a couple of pastors who have had the wonderful skill of being critical thinkers. It sounds like your dad had a great ability with critical thinking too. I think that a very important part of being a critical thinker is the ability to put aside one's own personal feelings in order to consider all aspects of an issue. Being able to consider all of the various details and possibilities, both positive and negative, I feel is a great talent. Also, I think just the ability that critical thinkers have of taking the necessary time to listen, and then to be able to effectively communicate their thoughts about a topic is truly a great…

When questioning which church was the right church to join, Joseph Smith had doubts that prompted him to ask some hard questions (Joseph Smith History 1:10). Through his doubts he was able to find the answers to his questions that led to the restoration of the gospel in these latter-days.…
Question 1: I felt like he describes himself as a well-educated, respectable young man that was disturbed by the stereotyping other people apply to him, such as being a criminal.

I liked how he started walking in highly populated areas and whistling so he appeared less threatening. Question 3: Mr. Staples, My biggest fear is ongoing.…

Chapter 6 really gets your attention, right in the begining. I had never heard of the “footbridge dilemma” and I am still at a loss for what I would do in this instance. This question posed, illustrated the two different philosophical approaches. The first is described as the “utilitarian approach” which the authors quote “doing the greatest good for the greatest number of people.” The second is “deontological approach” which is making the decision “based upon adherence to rules and duties.”…
