In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: One possible topic for a descriptive essay is a person that you feel strongly about, such as a mentor, a friend, a parent, or a role model. The person may be someone very close to you who knew you during a formative period in your life, such as your mother. Or the person could be someone you do not know well who has qualities you admire or wish to emulate, such as your favorite basketball player. If you are writing the descriptive essay for a college application, you may choose a person who is a role model or a mentor to you. Describing this person in the essay will give you the chance to discuss why this person is important to you and the lessons you have learn from this person. Another possible topic option for a descriptive essay is an object that has meaning or significance to you. The object could be from childhood or adolescence. It could be your favorite object as a kid or the object you hated the most. Maybe the object has sentimental value or holds deep meaning for you. For example, you may choose your favorite childhood toy as the topic for the essay. You could then describe the toy and what it meant to you growing up. Identify a place that is important to you and describe it in your essay. The place could be your hometown, your bedroom, or your favorite spot at school. You could also choose the ideal place, or where you would go if you could go anywhere in the world. For example, you may choose the most beautiful place you have ever been to. You can then describe the experience of the place and how it made you feel. Choose a significant event in your life and use it as the topic of your essay. The event could have happened recently or very far back in the past. Pick an event that taught you something or shifted your world view. For example, you may choose the first time you got your period or the first time you visited a relative in the hospital.
Summary: Choose a person to describe. Describe an object. Select a place to describe. Pick an event or memory to describe.

Do not stand or hover over the other person. This creates a power struggle and pushes the conflict to another level. If they are sitting, you should sit with them. Let them say how they feel. Wait until they are completely finished talking before beginning to speak yourself. Don't yell or make accusations about the other party or their actions. Take the time to make statements like, "If I understand correctly, you are saying,..." If the person walks out of the room, don't follow them. Allow them to do so and let them return when they are calmer and ready to talk. Again, this could lead to a power struggle that escalates and never ends. Sometimes, you have to agree to disagree and move on. When you're phrasing your concerns, try to start your sentences with "I..." and state clearly how their actions make you feel. This will make the other person more receptive to your complaints and more empathetic. For instance, instead of saying "You're sloppy and it drives me crazy," try "I feel that different levels of messiness might be a problem for us. Clutter is something that seems to work its way into my mind and limit what I feel I can do. Frankly, messiness seems to unsettle me more than it probably should."

One-sentence summary -- Place yourself on even ground. Listen to the other party. Speak in a calm, level voice. Let them know you have heard their point and understand their side. Don't try to finish the argument at all costs. Don't try to get the last word in. Use "I" messages.

Problem: Article: The flag should be folded in accordance to national tradition. It should not be crumpled or folded in such a way that results in creases or wrinkles. Store the flag in a spot where it will not come into contact with anything that can soil it. Some flags have different folding techniques for certain occasions. The US flag for example requires a triangle fold when used at a burial. When a flag is no longer in good condition, such as if it is torn, ripped, or badly soiled, it should no longer be raised or displayed. It should be disposed of in a dignified way as required by the nation in particular. If the flag is currently being flown, it should be removed and folded in standard respectful fashion.  The standard disposal technique for flag disposal in the US is a respectful burning.  Some organizations, such as the American Legion, will take old, worn flags and dispose of them appropriately. A flag should not be used to create apparel, bedding or drapery. Flags must be allowed to fall free, and not be drawn or sewn in ways that restrict this. The flag should not be used as a covering for the ceiling. This includes using the flag as a makeshift bag or purse! Most are familiar with not allowing flags to touch the ground. However, a flag should not teach anything that is beneath it. This includes the floor, water, parts of a balcony, or even merchandise. Desecration of a flag is punishable in some nations. In the US, desecrating the flag can lead to a fine or no more than one year imprisonment. Some nations requires individuals who carry a flag to not “dip” it, or turn it from an upright position to a horizontal position. This indicates deference to those present. Some nations practice this for national events, such as the Olympics, and others do not. The flag cannot be made a part of any sort of advertising, such as being embroidered on pillows or napkins. Staffs that are flying the flag may not also fly advertisements for a product or company. It should go without saying that a flag may not be altered to feature text or other imagery.
Summary:
Fold and store the flag appropriately. Dispose of a worn flag appropriately. Do not use a national flag as a textile. Do not allow the flag to touch anything beneath it. Do not dip the flag. Do not use the flag for advertising.
