    You ideas that you expressed in The Social Contract are completely naive. How could you believe that people would set aside their personal wishes to help society? You state that people would have no interest in making society burdensome on others because they would only burden themselves under social contract. This system may seem like a nice thing, but people are selfish at their core, and there will always be people who only care about themselves. Someone will come along and ruin the entire system for everyone by hurting others for their own gain.…

    Now after analyzing all the class negotiation exercises I believe we were framing the issues subjectively and making sense out of it based on our own experience and taking actions accordingly. For example, on Coffee Contract I felt that the negotiator was interested in the deal and I used this frame in my favor by starting at a low point, but as the negotiations progressed I learned more about the issues and objectives of the negotiator.

Both parties used threats during negotiations with alternatives (BATNA).…
