Jonathon starts to feel angry at his roommate for some inconsiderate behavior. His anger causes him to speak in a short, clipped tone to his roommate, and their interaction becomes tenser from there. Both of them dislike the tenseness of the interaction, and eventually these feelings become so uncomfortable that they clear the air through discussion. Explain which theme from the text best illustrates this scenario and why.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

 Possible response points:
 This scenario illustrates the inner processes serve interpersonal functions theme.
 In this scenario, Jonathon experiences a couple of inner processes that determine what happens interpersonally with his roommate. First, he is angry, which makes him interact in a less than kind way. Secondly, the tense nature of the interaction creates a sense of discomfort in him internally (another inner process) that drives him to clear the air with his roommate.
 The text has other themes, but they do not fit this scenario as well. Nature says go, culture says stop doesn't fit, because this does not particularly show Jonathon or his roommate holding back a natural response due to cultural norms.
 Putting people first is also not well illustrated in this scenario. This scene does not really pit Jonathon seeking information from a person versus another source, which is what would illustrate this particular theme.
