AoD#3: Family's Public Judgement

Arts of Democracy

Recently we were about to redo my room: painting, furnishing, and all the like. We decided that on Friday, we would remove all my belongings from the room and purchase paint, in the morning, we would paint. But, we ran into a few problems. First, that we, as a family, needed to visit our chiropractor. Second, I had an orthodontist appointment on Friday and had yet to pick out paint.

My father, mother, and I finally discussed this. We negotiated the issue. After listening to all issues, we came to a conclusion. My mother and I would go to the orthodontist, then visit the chiropractor, and then buy paint. My father would visit sometime during the next week because we would buy paint and apply it Saturday morning, completing by the time the chiropractor closed.

Of course, sometimes it is easier to negotiate then to put the effects to use. Later, though, the effects of our outcome will be discussed in the family meeting.
