Conflict—The Unexpected Gift
Conflict—The Unexpected Gift Conflict between people can be defined as a difference that causes disagreements. Authors Jack Hamilton and Elisabeth Seaman go to the root of what causes conflict and how to rebuild relationships. Interpersonal conflicts permeate our lives. Sometimes we believe that another person treated us unfairly, and that assumption causes us to become angry at the person. Such conflicts in relationships often are intensified because of old patterns of thinking and behavior that have gotten out of hand. Becoming aware of someone’s true intentions, and the many factors that caused them to behave the way they did, as well as awareness of our own reactions, starts us on th...

Could I pass a week in the insane ward at Blackwell's Island? I said I could and I would. And I did.
Ten Days in a Mad-House
The story was published in a series of articles for Joseph Pulitzer's New York City Newspaper The World in the late 1800 and then later in novel form. This was amazing and horrifying. In 1887 Nellie Bly, the author of this book and a reporter, faked insanity and spent 10 days in an insane asylum so she could report on the conditions. The conditions were horrendous at best. Some women were just getting over physical illnesses, some women couldn't even speak English! There were beatings, cold baths in the same water as all the other "prisoners', inedible food, extreme cold conditions and the list goes on and on. When Bly left, her reports launched a jury investigation, and surprise surprise! T...
