Speech Comm ATTENDENCE REQUIRED::PRIZES GIVEN

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

OK, gang. I was going to show a movie, but most of the ones I personally own about trust and exploring trust have to do with bondage or other adult themes not suitable for a high school clasroom. I know this isn't the average school, but I can't do that to you.

So instead...*Pulls a large shopping bag from behind her desk and sits it beside herself*...today you get a test.

Interpersonal trust depends upon RECIPROCITY, or, in other words, a give and take...



I have done things with and to you all week. It's only fair that now you return the favor. I trust you all to not actually harm me, since I didn't really harm any of you...*looks at ONeill*...Ok, so today's trust game...

You may
1. Ask me anything and I will answer you to the best of my knowledge. If it's something I really don't know, you get to ask another question.
OR
2. You may approach me and do something physically to my person...which I must admit is requiring a huge amount of trust to counter any fear...

That is a difficult question, Piper...as most morality questions are. Let's see...

I think, and this is backed up by previous experience, if someone was a danger to myself or my family I would ask for help. At the White house we had the Secret Service. Once, I recieved threats, and because of my position it seriously could have hurt those I loved. *Her expression falls and she is clearly sad* In fact...it did. A very dear friend was killed...but it was an unrelated event to my threat.

Anyhow, to answer your question Piper, if someone is a danger, but if you said anything it could get your loved ones hurt, then I suggest you find strong and trustworthy people and get yourself some protection. There are ways of dealing with dangerous people.

Does that help?

Piper nodded. "Yes, somewhat. But it was only hypothetical, like I said."

She smiled sympathetically at CJ. "I'm sorry about your friend."

*Raises an eyebrow* Sure it's a hypothetical...and now you know how my morality works.

*Her expression softens*

Thanks, Piper. Sometimes it just hits me...

Ok, come up and get your prize. *Motions to the bag beside her, wherin lies for you [make something up]*

"I understand. I've dealt with some losses myself."

She reaches into the bag to and pulls out a cd of classical music. "Ooh, good studying music."
