1) Recall a situation where you possessed important information but knew that    
   disclosing it would be personally or relationally problematic...

             -My husband and I were friends with a couple that got engaged a few 
               weeks after we did
             -The girl was my roommate 
             -She had cheated on the guy prior to their engagement
              -The guy didn't know
             -Both my husband and I knew but had to consider the outcome if we told  
               him

**What did you do? 

            -I talked to her and told her what I thought she should do
            -She did not tell him and we did not tell him
            -They are getting married in May 

**How did your decision impact your relationship? 

             -Kept the relationship drama free
             -We remained friends; she was still in my wedding she probably would not  
              have been if I had told
             -My respect for her depreciated
             -I stopped caring about her relationship with her future husband

**Was your choice ethical? 

             -Honestly, I do not know
             -He deserves to know, but it was not our place to tell him

**Based on your experience, is it always cooperative to disclose important information?

             -Definitely not
             -Often times it is not worth the drama it will create, especially if the 
              people are not worth your time. 

2) Look around the room you’re in right now.

             -My living room/bedroom (it's all one room, we live in a basement :) )

**How does this room make you feel? 

             -At home, comfortable, relaxed

**What mood or feeling is created by the:
 
Size of the Space: Opening and inviting, it's a very large space

Furniture: Confusing, our bed and our living room is the same room! :) But still     
                 comfortable and relaxed

Lighting: Fluorescent, makes you feel like you're in a Dr.'s office, they even make a 
               buzzing sound! 

Color: Taupe, very bland, comfortable and relaxing  

**What does the room say to others about who you are? 

             -We are too poor to afford our own place
             -We just got married, they can see from all of the wedding photos
             -We live a comfortable and relaxed lifestyle

**How much does environmental and artifact nonverbal communication affect you?

            -The color and lighting of a room impact my mood: relaxed or uptight
            -Decorations: I always feel uncomfortable when there are animal heads on  
             the wall, but the color of the room can definitely impact my mood bright 
             and vibrant makes me energized 
            -I feel uncomfortable when I am in people's bedrooms 
            -I feel uncomfortable in small areas
