Although not necessary, you may want to compare the Third Act of The Metropolitan Opera Gala 1991 production of Rigoletto (viewed in class) with the Third Act of Jean Pierre Ponelle’s production as well.

Communications
The most interesting quantitative findings is that there exists a relationship between being a successful debater and having argumentative skills. As discussed, the confusion marring the relationship between NPDA and other organizations is attributable to philosophical differences in the use of verbal communication. In other words, people learn skills on the basis of being argumentative and not aggressive hence the confusion in program implementation. The research also indicated that attempts are underway to equip forensic experts with argumentative skills (Infante, Rancer & Wigley 2011). This is like NPDA trying to quantify human behavior using statistical information. The same applies to politicians trying to win an argument in congress. In this case, the researcher creates the impression that everything is quantifiable, even though it is known that studying behavior in a controlled environment is different from undertaking the similar study in a natural setting.
Another interesting quantitative finding is that people have control over their behaviors in one way, or another hence acting immorality is unjustified in whatever circumstances. According to the findings of the study, the environment in which a person trains influences the perception of the individual. Furthermore, there exist the possibility of such persons influencing the behavior of the rest in the team as outlined in the study. In other words, true ethics is defined using the levels of openness in conversation. Consequently, what is considered ethical differs from one society to the next, according to Swift (2008). In measuring gender as a variable, the study quantified human behavior as the outcome of thought process. Without knowledge, justifying an action is difficult in the first place according to the researcher. This is like a student learning from a teacher while maintaining discipline in class.
The most interesting thing about the qualitative study is that detectives employ qualitative techniques in relating a happening and the likeness of a person contributing to the occurrence of the event. As per the findings, the subcultures of the people and
