Complete Problem 1 from the end of Chapter 2: You have just graduated from college and are looking to buy your first car. Money is tight right now, so you are concerned with initial cost as well as ongoing expenses. At the same time, you dont want to drive a slow, ugly car like your parents do. You have narrowed your choices down to two vehicles: a Honda Enigma and a Bizzarini Booster. Based on the rankings in the table (found under Chapter 2, Problem 1 in the textbook), calculate the value index for each car. Which car provides you with the greatest value? Use formulas to calculate the answer to one decimal point.

YOUR  STATUS  SET,  ROLES,  AND  ROLE  PROBLEMS   1)   Status Set: 

 a)   List  five  statuses  that  you  currently  have.  

  

  Remember: A  status  is  simply  a  position  you   fill  in  society.  It  may  be  a  job  title,  but  it  could   also  include  a  position  you  fill  within  a  family   or  a  community.  For  more  information,   review  Section  4.3  in  your  webtext.   b)   Label  each  status  as  either  ascribed,  achieved,  or   master.     Remember: An  ascribed  status  is  one  youre   born  with  and  have  no  control  over.  An   achieved  status  is  reached  through  your  own   efforts  or  simply  good  or  bad  luck.  A  master   status  is  so  important  that  it  overrides  your   other  statuses.  For  more  information,  review   Section  4.3  in  your  webtext.

  Remember: A  role  is  the  behavior  expected   of  someone  with  a  certain  status.  For  more   information,  review  Section  4.4  in  your   webtext.   3)   Role Conflict: 

 a)   Describe  a  time  when  you  experienced  a  conflict  because  of  the   demands  of  two  different  roles  associated  with  any  of  your  statuses.   b)   How  did  you  resolve  the  conflict?  (Discuss  any   conversation  or  social  interactions  you  had.)   c)   List  any  active  listening  skills  you  used  to  resolve   the  conflict.  If  you  didnt  use  active  listening   skills,  then  list  the  skills  you  could  have  used  to   resolve  the  conflict.     Remember: Refer  to  the  active  listening   skills  checklist  in  page  2.10  in  your  webtext.
