Negotiation and decision making skills

            Zapdramatic website (http://www.zapdramatic.com/dramas.htm) exploring gave me a rare experience that I learn how to negotiate and to make a decision on my own since my decision in life is always being influenced by others. There are 3 free videos that could be explored without registering as a member of the website. Throughout the videos, students as in me would sharpen the listening skill and learn communication skill at the same time. We would enjoy it since it is stimulating our senses like visual, listening, and others. It is quite challenging but I found it interesting.

            While watching the videos, we would reach to the certain parts that needed us to make a decision. Then the decision we made would influence the storyline and also the continuity of the story. I just realized that the decision making needs thinking process because we had to consider the options given, the consequences of every option and etc. We could rewind the videos in order to succeed till the end but in real life we obviously could not travel back in time. So we should not rush to decide for something especially when it is related to our future.

            Other than that, we could learn the negotiation and communication skills. We had to deal with people of different character and personalities in the videos as in our life. The ways of communication among people with different standards, character, personalities, situation, and others are differ from each other. We need different approach towards normal people compared to the mentally ill people.
