After you’ve shared your thoughts on the topic, do a search for another current article about new applications for nanotechnology and share it with the group.

analyze how you can anticipate and manage conflict to reduce risks from occurring. 

After you have completed the dominance, inducement, submission, compliance (DiSC) style assessment, identify two conflicts (i.e., interpersonal conflict [between individuals], intra-organizational conflict [within groups], or inter-organizational conflict [between organizations]) that you currently experience or potential work-related conflicts in the work environment. Based upon your test results, analyze how you can anticipate and manage conflict to reduce risks from occurring.
