“it sounds like what your teacher did really upset you. i understand how you feel.” this statement reflects which principle of effective or active listening? a. validating emotions b. paraphrasing c. remaining ‘other’ focused d. all of the above

d. all of the above.

Explanation:

This statement best shows all of the above characteristics. The comment validates emotions because it recognizes how the other person feels and shows that it is understandable. It also offers no judgement or criticism. It is also an example of paraphrasing because it restates what the other person said in order to show that it is understood. Finally, it remains "other" focused because the statement only discusses the situation of the other person, and not of the speaker.

panem is a communist totalitarian dictatorship where all the resources and how they are allocated belongs to the capitol. the districts exist only to provide goods and services for the capital and most of the citizens live in poverty. it is a police state where the "peacekeepers" use force and threats to keep the people under control. dissent is outlawed and those who disobey the law are executed, flogged, or turned into avoxes. the games are another means in which the ruling elite in the capitol exert their power over the districts. when reading the books i drew parallels between panem and the soviet union and north korea. in no way is panem capitalist. the people in the capitol are wealthy but the majority of them are involved in the government somehow. it was the same way in the former soviet union where bigwigs in the communist party and high ranking government officials were given access to goods, services, medical treatments not available to the general public. if you think panem has a capitalist economy you need to brush up on your economics.
