Coarcive and collaborative negotiations

Negotiation is an art. Weighing interests and making judgment of whether the deal is a deal or it's an energy-sapping undertaking with no returns.

Some essentials of making a negotiation include having a strong case for yourself and not appearing like a begger looking for underserved favors.

If it's a worth venture, it should not come cheap. All high quality productions cost an arm and a leg. If they were not costly, everyone would be having such, driving down the basic rules of demand and supply.

There are terms that need not be varied lest they cancel the current contract and new one is negotiated or it's ended. Of course, some issues get ironed out by good communication rather than a top-down method that is coarcive rather than collaborative.

Why it's hard for women to change names

Just learned by observation that it's pretty hard being a woman. Though it's something worth writing a book about, one thing that intrigued me much is that the basic concept of identification is both depriving and predatory.

It's already complex being referred by their parent's surnames. Then a stranger comes and adopts her just to go back and make her obtain an affidavit of what the government knew her as a few moons ago at the national registrar of persons offices.

Still, as if that is not most unfortunate, the marriage fails to work and they seek divorce. Hence another need to change name again. This time, it's not known whether they will go back to their dad's or the Christian middle name which they never live up to since they're already judged as hypocrites [which is true anyway]. 

Some religions disenfranchise women to their own advantage and that of the enterprise. If you want to steal from a woman, start a church.
