I would like that the writer answers the following questions :

1. In your opinion, what is the main point the author is trying to convey?

2. Site one statement, quote, thesis or conclusion made by the author and react to it.

3. Based on the readings, offer up one question you have that you would like to be discussed further in class.

4. Is there any connection to the reading and a conflict/situation you have experienced, observed, or found interesting in the news? (If multiple readings for that week, pick one and connect)

I would like the writer to be expert on negotiation or conflict resolution or both.

the resource I would like him to use please is :
