Sharing Emotions

Today we took a test on emotion sharing. I don't seem to have a problem sharing any emotion with a third party, however, sharing emotion with an acquaintance for the other person seemed
least comfortable. Emotions for myself seemed to be in the middle. I don't seem to have a problem with emotions for other people, but emotions for myself as always been a problem.

Conflict Styles

On Tuesday, 10/14/08, we learned about the five different conflict stlyes which are:
1. Avoidance=A lose-lose aproach to conflict.
2. Accommodation=A lose-win approach to conflict.
3. Competition=A win-lose approach to conflict.
4. Compromise=A lose/win-lose/win approach to conflict.
5. Collaboration=A win-win aproach to conflict.
After taking a survey test on this subject, it was not surprising to find that I am a compromising style individual. There are always different ways to handle conflict and I believe depending on your upbringing and the person who are will depend on how you handle these situations. How you handle yourself in different situations does reflect on who you are as a person.

NEWS FLASH!!!!!!

Today we learned of some quite disturbing news about our Ethics teacher, Jason Albertson. He was arrested on Sept. 30, 2008, at Wal-Mart on Lone Tree Way in Antioch. He was taking pictures of young girls bending over, sitting in shopping carts and over 300 pictures of young females in his possession. What ethics theory does this fall under? I feel sorry for his wife and children. What a disgrace to have to be associated with that type of individual. If by chance this is a mistake, whatever was misunderstood had better change and not even come close to being misunderstood again.

Listening test

On Tuesday we took a listening test and my score came out 76. My mental attentiveness is said to be rather good, but may need to be improved a little. Soooooo, I guess I will try and pay more attention and listen more to the people who are requesting my attention.
