Dezert Raven De Bara,
Hello, it is video time again! Please watch my example below and make your own video which describes an important situation in the workplace and/or your home where you felt some debilitative emotions. Try to identify any FALLACIES that helped lead to these emotions. Explain how more rational thinking could have lead to better communication and understanding of the situation.
IMPT: If you chose not to make a video and want to explain instead with words, please note this discussion requires a 400-word discussion and a 150-word reply.
Create the video in youtube.com and post the link here. Make sure you make the link public so we can all see it. Again you do not need to post to youtube. Just make sure you send a link that is easily openable.
And everyone needs to do a written response to at least one classmate.
