Jamal looked at Sue and said, We have to renegotiate these rates. The price of energy has dropped dramatically and our recent school funding referendum failed. My high school cannot afford to heat the buildings properly at this rate.
Energy costs are second only to teacher salaries
for us. If we can't get a better rate, the board has no choice but to close this school and send the
students across the town. That will mean overcrowding for the students but it will also mean
much less money for you because that building has the experimental solar and methane gas
co-generation plant. If the rate can be cut in half, we would be willing to extend our agreement
to buy from you beyond the 18 months we have left to 4 years.
What is the conflict demand in this situation?
A) To reduce the energy rate to half the current rate.
B) To extend the current agreement to four years.
C) To close the building and move the students across town.
D) To build a co-generation plant.
Question 2
In a conflict, the legitimacy involved would be considered?
A) The support an uninvolved person shows that an option is fair.
B) The fairness or justness of the conflict cause.
C) The fairness of the effects of the conflict resolution.
D) The practicality of the alternative solutions to the conflict.
