Blog 8 - Power struggles 3/25/09

Hey,
I thought the topic of the Principle of Least Interest was really interesting in class on Tuesday. It made a lot of sense when he explained it but I’ve never thought of that before. I’ve seen that play out before where people agree to do many things they don’t want to do in order to get one specific thing, such as the vacation example he gave in class. That bargaining could get destructive very quickly in a relationship. I also liked the information on keeping track of your/your partner’s efforts in a relationship. I’m not experiencing problems with this, but in case anything ever arises I will try to remember what we learned about how keeping track paralyzes a relationship – no one wins.
