Iago’s insincere description of the relations between his wife and Lieutenant Cassio evoke an exaggerated reaction.

Conflict Management Style: The movie I chose to watch for this assignment was Monster-in-Law. Jane Fonda plays a over barring mother who believes no one is good enough for her son. Jenifer Lopez plays the woman in question‚ who spends the entire movie fighting over her fiancé with her “monster in law”. If you haven’t seen this movie I highly recommend it.

Farewell Party and Me When I arrived to my workplace‚ there was no one in my department. Staring at an automatic-drilling with a blinking yellow light‚ I thought myself that how long had the machine been stopped. I put my lunch bag on a computer desk and sit on a chair to check an email whether there was an important message left for me by my supervisor during daytime. While I was checking email my cell phone rang out suddenly. I was slightly frightened as it rang unexpectedly. Usually

”All people are equal before the law” Classical liberalism‚ when it was fighting against feudal and religious privileges‚ held that equal distribution of opportunities required merely equal allocation of basic rights of life‚ liberty and property. If legal privileges are abolished and legal rights are protected‚ no obstacles will stand in the way of one’s pursuit of happiness. It means two things: Rule of law and Equality before law. Rule of law means that the law is sovereign and no person‚ no
