  1. Foreign Policy

  2. One day at school you notice a huge ring of students jostling and pushing. As you get closer, you hear some students yelling, “Fight!” Like the rest, you want to see what is happening. You finally find that two students (one a good friend; the other a former friend and current enemy who owes you money) are threatening each other. What will you do? Why? 1) Turn away and leave because the fight does not concern you – getting involved will only mean trouble. 2) Convince a couple of friends to help you separate the two students before they hurt each other. 3) Get into the fight on your friend’s side and punch out the former friend – since he deserves it. 4) Punch out both students to show the rest of the school who is the toughest on campus.
