In the United States, the main argument for protection of domestic industry is that foreign competition costs Americans their jobs. When we buy Japanese cars, U.S. cars go 11 . This leads to a decline in the 12 auto industry. When we buy German steel, steelworkers in the northern part of America lose their jobs. It is true that when we buy goods from foreign producers, domestic producers in the U.S. 13
But there is no reason to believe that the workers thrown out of employment in the contracting sectors will not find jobs in other expanding sectors. Foreign competition in textiles, for example, has thrown thousands of workers out of work in New England. But with the 14 of new industries, the unemployment rate in this area fell to one of the lowest in the country in the mid-1980s. 15 time the United States lost its advantage in textiles to countries with larger unskilled labor 16 , but other new industries have grown up in which the United States does have a greater advantage.
Of course, it is very difficult for workers to accept the fact of being jobless. The knowledge that some other industry, perhaps in some other part of the country may be expanding, is of little 17 to the person whose skills become out of date. The social and personal problems brought about by unemployment and out of date skills as a result of foreign competition deserve close attention. These problems can be solved in two ways. We can stop 18 and give up the gains from free trade, claiming that we are willing to pay more to save domestic jobs in industries that can produce more 19 abroad. Or we can aid the victims of free trade in a more effective way, helping to 20 them for jobs with a future.

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign 21 .
Negotiating is the process of communicating back and 22 for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the 23 must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation.
In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as 24 and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without 25 further. The American negotiator"s role becomes 26 of an impersonal purveyor of information and cash.
In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical 27 , while undermining the negotiator"s position. Two traits in 28 that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to _ the relationship, they may opt for 29 . interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator.

Have you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated 31 Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it Are you afraid to ask someone for a date
Many people are afraid to assert themselves. Dr. Alberti thinks it"s because their self-respect is low. "Our whole 32 is designed to make people distrust themselves," says Alberti. "There"s always " 33 " around—a parent, a teacher, a boss—who "knows better". These superiors often gain when they chip away at your self-image."
But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people 34 themselves, They 35 "assertiveness training" courses—AT for short. In the AT courses people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be more 36 without hurting other people.
In one way, learning to speak out is to 37 fear. A group taking a course will help the timid person to lose his fear. But AT uses an even stronger 38 —the need to share. The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels.
Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-image. lf someone you face is more "important" than you, you may feel less of a person. You start to 39 your own good sense.

Have you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated 31 Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it Are you afraid to ask someone for a date
Many people are afraid to assert themselves. Dr. Alberti thinks it"s because their self-respect is low. "Our whole 32 is designed to make people distrust themselves," says Alberti. "There"s always " 33 " around—a parent, a teacher, a boss—who "knows better". These superiors often gain when they chip away at your self-image."
But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people 34 themselves, They 35 "assertiveness training" courses—AT for short. In the AT courses people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be more 36 without hurting other people.
In one way, learning to speak out is to 37 fear. A group taking a course will help the timid person to lose his fear. But AT uses an even stronger 38 —the need to share. The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels.
Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-image. lf someone you face is more "important" than you, you may feel less of a person. You start to 39 your own good sense.

In the United States, the main argument for protection of domestic industry is that foreign competition costs Americans their jobs. When we buy Japanese cars, U.S. cars go 11 . This leads to a decline in the 12 auto industry. When we buy German steel, steelworkers in the northern part of America lose their jobs. It is true that when we buy goods from foreign producers, domestic producers in the U.S. 13
But there is no reason to believe that the workers thrown out of employment in the contracting sectors will not find jobs in other expanding sectors. Foreign competition in textiles, for example, has thrown thousands of workers out of work in New England. But with the 14 of new industries, the unemployment rate in this area fell to one of the lowest in the country in the mid-1980s. 15 time the United States lost its advantage in textiles to countries with larger unskilled labor 16 , but other new industries have grown up in which the United States does have a greater advantage.
Of course, it is very difficult for workers to accept the fact of being jobless. The knowledge that some other industry, perhaps in some other part of the country may be expanding, is of little 17 to the person whose skills become out of date. The social and personal problems brought about by unemployment and out of date skills as a result of foreign competition deserve close attention. These problems can be solved in two ways. We can stop 18 and give up the gains from free trade, claiming that we are willing to pay more to save domestic jobs in industries that can produce more 19 abroad.

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign 21 .
Negotiating is the process of communicating back and 22 for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the 23 must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation.
In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as 24 and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without 25 further. The American negotiator"s role becomes 26 of an impersonal purveyor of information and cash.
In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical 27 , while undermining the negotiator"s position. Two traits in 28 that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to _ the relationship, they may opt for 29 . interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator.

In the United States, the main argument for protection of domestic industry is that foreign competition costs Americans their jobs. When we buy Japanese cars, U.S. cars go 11 . This leads to a decline in the 12 auto industry. When we buy German steel, steelworkers in the northern part of America lose their jobs. It is true that when we buy goods from foreign producers, domestic producers in the U.S. 13
But there is no reason to believe that the workers thrown out of employment in the contracting sectors will not find jobs in other expanding sectors. Foreign competition in textiles, for example, has thrown thousands of workers out of work in New England. But with the 14 of new industries, the unemployment rate in this area fell to one of the lowest in the country in the mid-1980s. 15 time the United States lost its advantage in textiles to countries with larger unskilled labor 16 , but other new industries have grown up in which the United States does have a greater advantage.
Of course, it is very difficult for workers to accept the fact of being jobless. The knowledge that some other industry, perhaps in some other part of the country may be expanding, is of little 17 to the person whose skills become out of date. The social and personal problems brought about by unemployment and out of date skills as a result of foreign competition deserve close attention. These problems can be solved in two ways. We can stop 18 and give up the gains from free trade, claiming that we are willing to pay more to save domestic jobs in industries that can produce more 19 abroad. Or we can aid the victims of free trade in a more effective way, helping to 20 them for jobs with a future.

Many people are afraid to assert themselves. Dr. Alberti thinks it"s because their self-respect is low. "Our whole 32 is designed to make people distrust themselves," says Alberti. "There"s always " 33 " around—a parent, a teacher, a boss—who "knows better". These superiors often gain when they chip away at your self-image."
But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people 34 themselves, They 35 "assertiveness training" courses—AT for short. In the AT courses people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be more 36 without hurting other people.
In one way, learning to speak out is to 37 fear. A group taking a course will help the timid person to lose his fear. But AT uses an even stronger 38 —the need to share. The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels.
Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-image. lf someone you face is more "important" than you, you may feel less of a person. You start to 39 your own good sense.
You go by the other person"s 40 . But, why should you AT says you can get to feel good about yourself. And once you do, you can learn to speak out.

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign 21 .
Negotiating is the process of communicating back and 22 for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the 23 must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation.
In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as 24 and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without 25 further. The American negotiator"s role becomes 26 of an impersonal purveyor of information and cash.
In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical 27 , while undermining the negotiator"s position. Two traits in 28 that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to _ the relationship, they may opt for 29 . interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator.
