Parties in Universities

When I met my partner Mr. Sneeden at Foxdal Village, we had a good conversation about many topics. Nevertheless, one topic was really interesting when he mentioned parties among students in 1950s, so I asked him what is the different between parties in his generation and current generation. He said parties in the past and nowadays are similar; Students love to be drunk, get high, and have fun. Nonetheless, he enjoyed being in parties that focused on helping people such as charities parties where he still does.

Moreover, when I came to United State I realized that parties are a part of students' lives. It appears to be like a traditional custom that passed down from generation to generation. For example, in the 1956 yearbook, there is a picture of the members of Beaver House Club, founded in 1934. This club was interested on organizing social programs events, in another word, organizing parties' events whether for fun or for particular purpose such as charity or education (La Via 1956, page 282.) In addition, the students' passion on parties had drove "The Daily Collegian" back in 1956 to highlight the fact that some people had used this passion through increase the ticket's fee until it had become unaffordable to many students (Alexander, 1956, page 4).

In the end, I agreed with my partner when he said that though parties can be waste of time and money, they are one of the best ways for students to relax after a heavy week which is the main reason that make students in universities still engage with parties years after years. Therefore, it is inevitable that students spend a great portion of their free times in parties. Thus, universities should organize parties with a good goal such as THON event in Penn State University to students encourage students to participate in them rather than be in parties where students could be involved with illegal acts.

A landlord's resposibility toward the criminal acts

If a crime happened in a building, can a tenant sue the building owner for this crime?
In general, a landlord has no duty to protect tenants from injuries suffered as a result of criminal activities of third parties. However, courts recognize an exception to that “no duty” general rule and will hold landlord liable when he assumes such a duty like provides tenants with extra protection such as 24 guarding or extra lock for a front door and his failure has been used by a criminal like entering through a broken door or a window. Some people got milions from such this case,

Foxdal Village Trip

The trip to Foxdal Village was beyond my expectations, I though I would find a hard time communicating with elderly people, but I actually enjoyed the conversation very much. My partner name is Mr. Dean Sneeden. He was an engineer and he had traveled over many wonderfull places, so we spoke about traveling and many other things. Therefore, my advice for future IECP students is to chose this trip and enjoy it.

The Negotiation

I read yesterday about negotiation .There are many ways for a successful negotiation. For the best outcome, 1- you should reach a win-win approach negotiation rather than think only about your interest; 2- listen and understand to the other side; 3- state your needs and understand your other side priorities.
