Please fill the attached Self-Assessment Surveys (TWO) and calcula.docxARIV4
Please fill the attached Self-Assessment Surveys (TWO) and calculate your score according to the instruction after each survey. These are personal assessments and I want you to be as honest as possible, rather than worry about what I am going to think.
1. AM I A DELIBERATE DECISION MAKER?
Indicate to what extent the following statements describe you when you make decisions.
1 = to a very little extent; 2 = to a little extent; 3 = somewhat; 4 = to a large extent; 5 = to a very large extent
1
2
3
4
5
1. I jump into things without thinking.
2. I make rash decisions.
3. I like to act on a whim.
4. I rush into things.
5. I don’t know why I do some of the things I do.
6. I act quickly without thinking.
7. I choose my words with care.
Instructions:
To score the measure, first reverse-code items 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. So that 1=5, 2=4, 3=3, 4=2, and 5=1. Then compute the sum of the 7 items. Scores will range from 7 to 35.
Interpretation
People differ in how they make decisions. Some people prefer to collect information, carefully weigh alternatives, and then select the best option, while others prefer to make a choice as quickly as possible.
This scale assesses how deliberate you are when making decisions. If you scored at or above 28, you tend to be quite deliberate. If you scored at or below 14, you tend to be rash. Scores between 14 and 27 reveal a more blended style of decision making.
How should decisions be made? The rational model states that individuals should define the problem, identify what criteria are relevant to making the decision and weigh those criteria according to importance, develop alternatives, and finally evaluate and select the best alternative. Though this sounds like an arduous process, research has shown that the rational model tends to result in better decisions.
Interestingly, personality is related to a person’s decision-making style. Individuals who are deliberate and decisive tend to be high in emotional stability and high in conscientiousness, while individuals who are more impulsive tend to be low on these two traits. Thus, while your decision-making style is likely to be somewhat stable, following the rational model should help you to avoid making rash decisions.
2. HOW CREATIVE AM I?
Review the 30 adjectives that follow. Being honest and forthright with your answers, identify only those items that accurately describe you.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Complaint Letters
Nursery – Plants worth $572
Dry and wilted. One came out by the
roots when I took it out of the box.
Please send me a replacement
shipment immediately
22. 22
Response 1
After ruling out problems in transit, I discovered that
your order was packed by a new worker who didn’t
understand the need to water plants thoroughly before
they are shipped. We have fired the worker, so you can be
assured that this will not happen again.
Although it will cost our company several hundred dollars,
we will send you a replacement shipment.
Let me know if the new shipment arrives safely. We trust
that you will not complain again.
23. 23
Response 2
Sorry we screwed up that order. Sending plants
across country is a risky business. Some of them
just can’t take the strain. (Some days I can’t take
the strain myself!) We’ll credit your account for
$572.
24. 24
Response 3
…it isn’t our fault. The box clearly says “Open and
water immediately.” …If you pull by the leaves, you
will pull the roots out. Always lift by the stem. Since
you don’t know how to handle plants, I’m sending
you a copy of our brochure, “How to Care for Your
Plants.” Please read it carefully… …to avoid
disappointments in the future.
We look forward to your future orders.
25. 25
Response 4
Your letter of the 5th has come to the attention of
the undersigned.
According to your letter, your invoice #47420
arrived in unsatisfactory condition. Please be
advised that it is our policy to make adjustments as
per the Terms and Conditions…
“…make an exception on your order receipt…furnish
us detailed written information as to any damage.”
… you must comply with our terms and see that the
necessary documents reach the undersigned by the
close of the business day on the 20th of the month.
26. 26
Response 5
You’ll get a replacement shipment of the perennials you
ordered next week.
Your plants are watered carefully before shipment and packed
in specially designed cardboard containers. But if the weather
is unusually warm, or if the truck is delayed, small roots may
dry out. Perhaps, this happened with your plants.
The violas, diitalis, aquilegias and hostas you ordered are
long-blooming perennials that will get even prettier each year.
Enjoy your garden.
