301--Friendship

According to Cialdini in your reading this week, similarity leads to liking, liking to a desire for reciprocity, reciprocity to a state of trust and intimacy, and trust and intimacy to the friendship bond.

With this in mind, as well as yesterday's activity--heck, gang, you've been asked to inteact a lot, lets say all the activities this term--what do you think about the new Human/Non-Human Alliance that is being started? Do we really need it? Is there a problem that exists between dissimilar students? Why? Please...do not hold back. This class is about communicating and we need your full cooperation. If you would prefer to write it down and share it only with me, you may do so. Ok, kiddlies, tell me how it is.

Jack comes in and takes a seat directly in front of the teacher. He hoped that would be enough to keep him alive once Any came to class.

"I don't think we really need the alliance right now in the way of saying that we don't seem to have many interspecies problems (Except for the thing with the Belthuhzor guy during elections) but at the same time I think it's a good idea because if everyone is kept edjucated then maybe we can head off any predjudice before it starts."

Good points, Jack. What's the difference between need and want?

[Wonders why he's sitting so close to her and waits for him to deserve a righteous smacking]

"It's good to want things but you should never need for them. It's like food. If you want food that's good, it means you're hungry, but if you need food it means there's something wrong. Needing is a last-resort type of thing.

So the fact that we don't need and alliance is a good thing and the fact that we want to keep from needing it is even better."

Very astute, O'Neill. You're coming along nicely. Anything else?

"Uhm. If you need to go to the bathroom it's probably too late to ask?"

[She sighs and rolls her eyes] And yet still so predictable. Thank you Jack. Shut up now.

"Shutting up." Jack scoots his desk a little closer.
