I. Introduction
I chose to represent the major in the “Island Cruise”-role play. Taking part at that play made me realize that there are several aspects that you should keep in mind before attending a meeting, e.g. and amongst others “be prepared”, “listen”, “share common goals” and “keep your emotions out”.
II. Strategy
First of all and to be honest, I was not prepared for the first two role-plays we did, because I thought it would not be necessary as I thought I am skilled in arguing and therefore felt prepared enough to deal with any argument that would come my way. I was proved wrong and therefore glad not to be the one who had to participate at the first two role-plays because all the others had better arguments and knowledge

That deprived me of the chance to start negotiations with something we both have in common or maybe just with a little small talk to find a way into a comfortable discussion.
IV. Evaluation of your own performance in the negotiation
It is quite hard to estimate one’s own performance but according to the audience’ feedback I can say that I obviously did a good job. As the captain started the discussion in a very rude way, I decided to let him talk as long as he got off his negative attitude and until he has said everything he wanted to get rid of. I did my best listening to his arguments and what he really wanted to say (and at the same time keeping the “why” in my mind). He wanted to make this deal as fast as possible, under his conditions and without the willingness to present any further options than his. It took me some time and slowly talking about our common goals to clam him down and made him realize that there are some alternatives for us that we should focus on. In the end we wrote down the results we both agreed on. I think it was helpful having used the terms “we” instead of “I” and that we tried to make the other party see the benefits of such an agreement.
What I still need to focus on is not be too honest and not to play all my cards at the beginning. Also trying not to use the denials like “I do not understand” but rather “help me understand this”. Further, not to make “all-or-nothing”-deals at all.
Our team approached this negotiation case in a very efficient way. Each of us had a very clearly job assignment. Two people took care of the calculation while the other two people were responsible for the negotiation. Thus we quickly built up a model and provided several options to our counterparts with different terms but same net value of the final bargaining agreement to our team.
Summary: This was a multiparty negotiation, which involved 6 players all with very different negotiation styles. It was an exercise in which teams easily form a coalition. There were concessions about the value added each team would bring to the “table”, and my team in a situation of power saw how negatively the other teams reacted in name of fairness and how important was to share the pie.
Crucial to Little Women and Treasure Island is Amy March’s and Jim Hawkins’ journey abroad which also shows the characters trajectory from innocence to maturity. Certainly, both novels belong to the sub-genre of bildungsroman which is by definition, a story that depicts a journey from childhood to maturity. In spite of their different goals and outcomes, it is possible to trace some sort of parallelism between both journeys as they were indirectly intended to shape their characters in line with the social norms of that time.
I should not be charged with murder for what happened on Shipwreck Island. I was defending for my life, and I had no other choices other than to do what I could to stay alive. What General Zaroff was doing was wrong and a lot worse than me killing him. He would train people, some who have never even hunted before, to try to last three days without being killed being killed by General. Zaroff told me nobody had ever beat him before and in his library he had a collection of human heads whom which he had killed. He would hunt you with a pistol and all you had to defend yourself with was a knife. You could do anything to stay alive for the three days and that’s all I could do.
Neither party should enter the negotiation in a head-on confrontational manner. Both parties should allow the other to be open in their communication, listens carefully to each other’s position and interests, and summarize what is said to clarify understanding. Once both parties have expressed their needs, they must seek alignment.
With all preparations made for our big water crossing, provisions laid in, fresh water on board, poop tanks emptied, cooler packed with ice and beer, fuel tanks filled up, we left Sanibel knowing it would be many days before we saw civilization again. After a night on the anchor at Marco Island, we’d be crossing the Gulf of Mexico, heading do South, Destination - The Keys!
Listen for their main points: If your listening effectively, you should be able to catch their main points, this will ensure them that you feel what they must say matters; which it should.
Easter Island was once a haven for its inhabitants. It provided them with all of their needs, food, shelter, tools, and even the ability to create great works of art. They abused this Eden, and turned it into a disaster, with almost no natural resources. This could very well happen to us, because our earth is the same Eden that Easter Island once was.
The basic purpose of meeting of a sensible pioneer or supervisor will be on making such a social undertaking which can finish a strategy gainfully and satisfactorily chairmen in an association should focus on making the current get-together to a choice gathering.
As a Therapeutic Staff Support, I communicate with my clients and their families daily. I had the opportunity to sit down on an evaluation with one of my clients. I am comfortable talking with my clients, but I did convey some nervousness in the video. This role play has taught me more about myself. There have been some challenges in planning and executing this role play. My role play displayed the initial interaction between a concerned mother and the social worker. In an initial meeting with behavioral health services, it is important for the client to be there. However, I did not have another person to play the part of Sophia, so I made due with just the mother and social worker. Overall, I feel that this
The main character in the story is Jim Hawkins. He is a young boy who looks for adventure. He and a few experienced men search for Ben Gunn, and want to have him enlist in their cause. They steal the Hispanolia (a ship) and return it to the captain to which it rightfully belongs.
The Lifeboat by Charlotte Rogan and A Doll’s house by Henrik Ibsen,at first these pieces of lituare seem to have nothing in common with one another, yet after a deeper analyzing of both story, it is clear to see that these stories share a lot more in common than meets the eye. Both authors use symbolizing in their writing to get important points across. Both main male characters in this story are bankers who will but everything's aside for the thing they love. The pieces also share a villains who use similar tactics to try and get their way. These are just some of the familiarities that are found between these two pieces of lituare.
The Viking negotiation was quite tasking in the sense that it was tough to try to figure out a solution because both sides were in a bad situation financially, and the amount of options to solve the problem were very limited. From the beginning we just talked about the scenario in a open, friendly way to see what each side had to say about the situation. We discussed each problem at hand and what each side wanted, so we had some idea of what kind of solution we could try to come up with. When we found out that the things we wanted would not be able to yield a pleasant solution for any party. I knew at this point someone would
1) Was this a Distributive or Integrative negotiation?- was it the optimum approach and why or why not.
Negotiation is all about a strategy. The end result is usually to end a problem that someone is having, whether it is personally or
