Question 1: After reading all of Chapter 7, please give an example of a situation in which “T-Funneling” has been or might be helpful in your life, at work, with family, wherever you think it might apply. 
I’ll give you an example to illustrate:  My son, Cam, and daughter, Katie, had a fight that left him angry and her crying.  My goal was to determine what the problem is and how I could guide them toward peaceful interaction for the rest of the day. 
I began by asking both the open-ended question:  What happened? 
After getting each child’s answer I learned generally that Cam kicked Katie out of the playroom. 
I then drilled down by asking closed-ended questions of each child:  To Cam:  Why did you kick her out?  Would you prefer to play alone with your friends? Was she doing something to annoy you?  Were you angry because she disrupted your game?
To Katie:  Why are you crying?  Are you frustrated that he kicked you out of the room?  Are you sad because you feel like he rejected you?  Did you get enough sleep last night?
The answers to these questions helped me understand some of the important logistical, emotional and environmental factors underlying the problem and helped determine how to move forward to solve the conflict:  Cam wanted to play PS4 with his friends.  Katie wanted to play with him and needed a nap, so she overreacted to his asking her to leave, which made him even more angry.  He apologized for hurting her feelings. She apologized for barging in on his time with his friends. (The apologies might not have been sincere, but at least they both felt heard if not genuinely validated).  We agreed that he could play with his friends for a set time frame, then they could play together, and each would get more sleep that night.  Then there was peace (for a few minutes anyway).
Question 2: Please answer the questions on p. 219 from video clip 7-K.

Discuss the concept of “negotiation Jujitsu,” how it might work, and its appropriateness in mediation, as opposed to a negotiation setting. Is it appropriate in mediation; why or why not?
Take any one of the “ten questions people ask about getting to YES” and explain how that concept interacts (positively or negatively) with biblical principles. Be sure to cite specific scriptures. Label these two posts as your “primary” posts.

Assignment 2
You are working in house for a large peanut butter manufacturer as part of the CFO’s office. Your company opened a division to trade in virtual currency, called “peanut BITter.” Your company is also highly litigious and often sues state and local governments for refunds of taxes it pays to them. One day, the CEO of the company, Mrs. Total E. Nutt, runs into your office screaming that you have to get $50,000 of Amazon gift cards to give to the IRS. After calming her down, she explains that she just got a call in her office and the caller stated that the company owes $50,000 in Federal taxes and the IRS is on the way to the office and will seize control of the company unless the company pays $50,000 in Amazon gift cards TODAY! She asks you to draft a paragraph advising her what to do.
Shortly after that, your company receives a letter from the IRS (Letter 6173) stating that the IRS has knowledge of the company’s virtual currency dealings and suspects that the company has not complied with its tax obligations. The letter instructs the company to reply with a response that is signed under the penalties of perjury. After sending in the letter, your company is informed by the IRS that it Is opening an audit of the company. The IRS spends six months pouring over peanut BITter’s books and records, and determines a deficiency of $59 million dollars and the company pays the deficiency. Six months later, the IRS contacts your company again and says that it received an information return from a state that amended the amount of a taxable refund given to the company, and the IRS adjusted the company’s tax accordingly. Mr. Nutt blows into your office and starts hollering that the IRS is hounding his wife’s business. While his tirade was only semi coherent, you extrapolated the following points:
How did the IRS select his wife’s business for audit?
Was the IRS allowed to audit the business after sending Letter 6173?
Was the IRS allowed to adjust the tax due in response to the information return from the state?
Would the IRS be allowed to come and examine the company’s books and records a second time?
The CFO tells you that you probably should put together answers to Mr. Nutt’s questions, and suggests that you append them to the paragraph you drafted regarding the phone call demanding Amazon gift cards. Citations to statutes and regulations are not required. However, the company holiday party is coming and your boss tells you that the more you are able to support your answers, the more entries into the company raffle you’ll get.
