Throughout the whole article, Amanda Ripley does not take sides whether the government was wrong or right to distribute more money to those who made more in their lifetime. Charles Swindoll stated in Ripley’s article, “‘Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than success, than what other people think or say or do...It will make or break a company, a church, a home” (Ripley, 30)…

and I go up to our favorite place, Rogers City Michigan. Rogers City is a small town at the edge of Michigan right on the water. It is a place to relax and unwind for a while. The small city offers quaint shops, delicious places to eat and friendly people. We stay right on the shores of Lake Huron just outside of Rogers city. Where the waves crash and the sand beckons you to come frolic in the sun. The days leading up to the trip are almost on bearable for me. Just the thought of the scenic…

the football team, a beautiful young girl whom the two boys are both chasing after, and a group of bullies. This is a group of characters that I believe anybody who has ever attended high school can relate to, which makes this film more relevant to me. My second basis for judgement on this movie is the plot. This film has an incredibly interesting plot. A “haunted” car with a mind of its own is not quite something you see in a movie every day. Arnie restores this beautiful red and white 1958…

Winniscot’s book, Playing and Reality, focuses on the nature of learning through playing and how mentally vulnerable people are when they’re young. In his case studies, he mentioned about a boy who would act in weird manners with strings when his mother wasn’t home. The problem became worse and worse, and they visited him for help.

The authors of Getting to the Yes, Roger Fisher and William Ury, give directions on how to embark on a negotiation with the four parts of principled negotiation which are separate the people from the problem, focus on interests, not positions, generate options for mutual gain, and insist on using objective criteria. The authors created these four parts of…

In Getting to Yes by Roger Fisher, William Ury, and Bruce Patton point out that when negotiating, people have an inclination toward positional bargaining. When using this method in negotiations, people argue from their respective positions in favor of their desired outcomes, and the authors suggest that this method does little to reach ideal solutions, is inefficient, and puts relationships at risk. Throughout the book, they provide instructions for using the method they term “Principled…
