Most 9 people will also agree that prejudiceplays an important role in the misunderstandings, intolerance, and even hostility that may develop and persist betweensuch groups. If our objective is to minimize these problems, one necessary step is to 10 the issue of prejudice.Research has clearly established that prejudice exists and 11 a person expressing a prejudiced view may beunaware that it is in fact biased. An interesting experiment, which is often 12 in educational textbooks, wasconducted in 1973 to determine the potential effects of prejudice on the judgements of future school-teachers. Theresearcher made videotapes of three children speaking to an adult. The camera angle was 13 that the children’sfaces were not visible; however, it was obvious from the tape that the children were speaking and that they wereracially different—one was white; one was African American; the third was Mexican American. A soundtrackcontaining exactly the same conversation in English with the same American voice was added to the tapes. Each tapewas played to one of three groups of student teachers. Their task was to judge the correctness of the speech of the childthey had seen on the videotape.

One point most researchers seem to agree on is that good negotiators try to create a harmonious atmosphereat the start of a negotiation. 14 . Therefore, there may be a willingness on both sides to make concessions. Goodnegotiators generally wish to reach an agreement which meets the interests of both sides in the long run. 15 .Instead of seeking immediate gains, it is more important to ensure that they do not harm their relationship with theother party. Skillful negotiators are flexible. They do not “lock themselves” into a position so that they will lose face ifthey have to compromise. 16 . For example, instead of insisting that they must get a large order only once, theyopt for small orders that may help develop long-term corporation with their partners. Successful negotiators do notwant a negotiation to break down. If problems arise, they suggest ways of resolving them. 17 . Instead of givingup right away, they keep the communication open, select a few arguments and repeat them. This suggests that tenacityis an important quality. Finally, when the deal is done, they confirm it and close it so that both sides feel satisfied.

(A)They make an effort to establish a good rapport with their counterparts. (B)The best negotiators are persuasive, articulate, and persistent on key areas. (C)They therefore tend to take a long-term view to ensure that the agreement will improve. (D)Next, they listen carefully and check frequently that everything has been understood by both parties.

For three days and nights he raced through streets and subway tunnels. After the police took him to a hospital, hefinally received effective treatment two years after getting a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. “My son’s life was saved,”his father, Ted Stanley, said. He then created a foundation to support psychiatric research. In July 2014, the StanleyFamily Foundation donated $650 million to Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, a research center to which he hadearlier donated $100 million. It comes at a time when research into mental illness is sputtering. The Broad Institutetimed its announcement of the donation to coincide with the release of the largest analysis ever on the genetics ofschizophrenia. The analysis identified more than 100 regions of DNA associated with the disease. Many contain genesinvolved in just a few biological functions, like pumping calcium into neurons that could help guide the search fortreatments. “For the first time, there’s a clear path forward,” said Eric Lander of the Broad Institute. When scientistsdiscovered psychiatric drugs like lithium in the mid-20th century, they did so mostly by accident. For years, theyhoped figuring out the action of the drugs would help them understand the causes of the diseases. But they came upempty. Some researchers argued that a better strategy would be to find the genes involved in psychiatric disorders.This approach would give them new molecular targets for drugs they could test. Recent research has found thatmutations in the very same gene can cause a wide range of brain disorders, including autism, schizophrenia, andepilepsy. “We have no idea at all about why that is, and the only way to find out is to do some hard biology – to findout not only which genes matter, but what about them matters,” Dr. Goldstein said. The new study found that manyrisk variants clustered around specific body functions, like the immune system and calcium transmission in brain cells.To understand their underlying biology, Broad researchers plan to grow neurons with mutations in the genes they havefound, to see how they differ from normal cells. They will engineer mutated mice to see how their brains are affected.These studies will be expensive, which is where the Stanley Family Foundation comes in.
