AOD: Creative Conflict

Just recently I had to use creative conflict in order to get to an understanding on a final project. She was barely doing anything at all in the beginning. I had to first confront my partner about how she wasn't really helping me with our project. I was basically doing it by myself and she wasn't helping at all because of personal problems. So we talked it out in a civil matter. Even though we aren't friends anymore we still got the project finished.

AOD: Boxer for President #1

Article: Manny Pacquiao Is a Boxing Icon -- Should He Be More? Aug 1, 2006

Apparently when Manny Pacquiao has a fight the whole country stops everything to watch. Even the President stops meetings to watch his fights. The country itself has gone through many issues itself but during Pacquiao's fight they seem to all go away. They look to him so much they are hoping he will run for a political position. The Filipino people hope he wil decide to take a stand like Muhammad Ali during the Vietnam War, and speaking out for other major problems. The author herself hopes he does not though because the corruption has a habit of changing the best-intentional people, and she doesn't want that to happen to him as well.
