One
of
the
terrible
costs
of
conflict
is
the
resulting
damage
to
relationships.
Conflict
strains
relationship
and makes
if difficult for parties to
recognize that they
share

common
needs
and
goals.
The
more
severe
the
conflict,
the
greater
the
psychological distance between groups. Extremely
hostile
relationships tend to persist
and make such conflicts
all the more
serious.

However
, human relationships also have the power to defuse conflict and make it
easier to resolve. In fact, establishing personal relationships is often a(n) effective way
to solve conflict. Conflicts cannot be genuinely solved unless the adversaries are tied
together with some sense of unity and commonality.
First
establishing
personal
relationships
with
people
on
the
other
side
of
the
conflict
can
help
lessen
many
of
the
problems
related
to
conflict.
This
is
because
personal
relationships
improve

communication
and
increase
the
general
level
of
mutual understanding and trust. As individuals get to know each other, they are more
able
to
recognize
and
acknowledge

the
other
side's
complaints.
This
allow
for

the
development of feelings of sympathy and empathy. It also reduces the likelihood that
destructive misunderstanding will arise. In addition, programs that establish positive
personal relationships between parties are key in preventing possible conflicts. This is
because
friendly
contact
helps
adversaries
to
get
rid
of

stereotypes
and
see
the

contribute
to increased tolerance
among highly diverse groups.
Once
this change of attitude has taken place, the parties
can begin to develop a sense of mutual understanding and trust. Although they may
still have different interests or needs, they can begin to
approach
these issues through
cooperation
rather than
by competing with or trying to destroy each other.
Establishing
relationships
can
also
pave
the
way
for
friendly
negotiations
and
conflict
resolution.
If
negotiators
view
themselves
as

adversaries
in
a
face-to-face
confrontation, each side tends do become defensive and reactive. If, on the other hand,
negotiators
build
personal
relationships
with
those
on
the
other
side,
they
will
find
that many of the problems
associated
with strong emotions and poor communication
are much easier to manage.

According
to
our
experience,
financial
disputes

are
the
number
one
reason
for
divorce in America. A premarital agreement is designed to
identify
financial concerns
and
establish
expectations.
Rather
than

being
a

for
divorce
an
effective
prenuptial agreement is divorce prevention.
We work closely with couples to
design
prenuptial agreements that are custom
tailored. We will sit down with you and examine your entire situation to
determine
the
best terms for a premarital agreement. Prenuptial agreements are legal contracts and
thus, they should not be
entered into
lightly. Premarital agreements have a(n)
impact

on
your
finances,
your
family,
and
your
future.
Working
with
an
experienced
prenuptial
agreement
attorney
insures

that
you
are
entering
into
a
fair
and
realistic
premarital agreement.
Unfortunately
, some prenuptial agreements are unfair, unrealistic, or even illegal,
and
subsequently

unenforceable.
If
you
are
facing
divorce
and
you
are
a
party
to
a
prenuptial
agreement
that
includes
terms

you
dispute,
you
need
an
experienced
prenuptial agreement attorney to
shield
your rights and interests.
We
have
extensive

experience
representing
clients
seeking
to
enforce
or
defeat
terms in premarital agreements. If you are
subject to
a prenuptial agreement that you
belive
is
unfair,
invalid
,
no
longer
applicable,
or
illegal,
our
premarital
agreements
litigation
attorneys
can
go
to
work
for
you
to
come
up
with

a
fair
and
workable
prenuptial agreement.
If
you
require
assistance

to
design
and
draft
a
prenuptial
agreement
that
is
reliable

or
you
are
facing
divorce
and
involved

in
a
dispute
over
the
validity
of
a
premarital agreement, contact us to speak with an experienced prenuptial agreement

Unit8
Have
you
ever
read
science
fiction
novels
about
cloning
human
beings?
The
main
characters

in
these novels
have been cloned, and
replaced

with
creatures that
look
identical
to them. These creatures differ from the originals, though, in that they
show no emotion and are not human. They want to
take over
the earth.
Hollywood
has
often
treated
clones
as
less
than
human,
taking
orders
from
a
superior
who intends to
conquer
the Earth. It is
no wonder
that much of the public has
treated news of the first cloned animals with fear
comparable
to that shown in science
fiction
films
dealing
with
cloning.
But
what
is
it
that
we
fear

specifically?
Are
we
afraid that we are going to be
replaced
by monsters?
Such

Is
our
fear
that
legislation
in
Congress
has
been
proposed
to
prohibit

cloning and all research on it. Some Senators
claim
that the people
working on
these
projects are like mad scientists from the movies. But, we need to take a step back and
evaluate

the
benefits
of
cloning,
and
not
simply

discriminate
based
on
prior

information given to us in films. A clone of any species should develop like it would
in
nature:
Cells
split
and
multiply

while
the
genetic
code
remains
intact
.
There
is
nothing to suggest that a clone of a human would be anything less than human.

Unit 7
At
the
age
of
21,
Steve
Jobs
and
a
friend,
Stephen,
Stephen
Wozniak,
built
a
personal computer called the Apple. The Apple changed people's idea of a computer
from
a gigantic mass of vacuum tubes only bog business and the government could
afford

to
a
small
box
used
by
ordinary
people.
No
company
has
done
more
to
popularize

the
computer
and
make
it
user-friendly
than
Apple
Computer
inc.
Two
years after building the Apple I, Steve Jobs
introduced
the Apple II. The Apple II was
the
best
buy
in
personal

computers
for
home
and
small
business
throughout

the
following
five
years.
Steve
Jobs
was
considered

a
brilliant
young
man
in
Silicon
Valley, because he saw the future demands of the computer
industry.
computer was created by the hardware revolution of the 1970s and the next
dramatic

change will come from a software revolution,
Jobs was an orphan adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs in 1955. While still in high
school, Jobs
attended
lectures at the Hewlett-Packard electronics firm. There he was

hired

as
a
summer
employee
and
met
another
employee,
Wozniak,
who
had
a(n)
passion
for inventing electronic
devices
. In 1972 Jobs graduated from high school and
registered
at Reed Collage in Portland, Oregon, After dropping out of Reed after one
semester, he
hung around
the campus for a year, taking classes in philosophy. Early in
1974 Jobs took a job
designing
video games for Atari, Inc. But, he really had his eye
on
the
commercial

end
of
the
electronics
business
and
persuaded

Wozniak
to
work
with him toward building a personal computer.
They sold everything they had,
raising
$$1,300 to start their new company. With
that capital base and credit begged from local electronics supplies, they set up their
first
production
line.
Jobs
came
up
with

the
name
of
their
new
company
Apple
in
memory of a happy summer he had spent as an orchard worker in Oregon.

Unit6
Earthquakes
have
plagued
our
lives
for
as
long
as
people
have
inhabited
the
Earth.
These
dangerous
acts
of
the
Earth
have
resulted
in
great
damage
to
human
beings.
Earthquake
damage
depends
on
what
area
is
hit.
If
an
unpopulated
region
is
struck. There will be low loss of life or property. If is hits a large city which is densely
populated, there may be serious injuries and destruction.
Earthquakes
have
the
power
to
uproot
trees
and
send
them
crashing
into
buildings. They can trigger landslides and cause flooding and tsunamis. Buildings and
structures
are
also
at
risk.
It
is
interesting
to
note
that
tall
buildings
will
suffer
the
least
damage
if
they
are
located
directly
at
the
epicenter.
This
is
because
they
can
withdraw the up-and-down motion of P-waves. S-waves, on the other hand, occur far
away from the epicenter, and cause the greatest stress by shaking buildings from side
to side. These buildings are often knocked off their foundations.
Buildings with thick, heavy walls do not
resist shock waves very well. Violent
earthquakes
often
cause
structures
to
collapse,
burying
people
underneath.
Brick
buildings
are
the
most
vulnerable.
The
shaking
of
the
earth
is
sometimes
not
the
greatest disaster. It is in the subsequent fires and floods that often the greatest damage
occurs.
Predicting an earthquake until now has almost been technologically impossible.
With improvements in technology, lives have been saved and many more will. All that
remains is to research what takes place before, during, and after an earthquake. This
has
been
done
for
years
to
the
point
that
a
successful
earthquake
prediction
is
theoretically
possible.
However,
accurate
prediction
of
earthquake
may
take
more
years.


Unit5
Aging is a natural process. Although medical advancements have come up with
