Answer:

Negotiation through divine grace

Explanation:

In ‘A good man is hard to find’ the grandmother’s attempts evolve from logic to despair throughout her exchange with the Misfit. First, we find her trying to convince him that he is a good man ‘not a bit common’ and ‘good at heart’. During this conversation, the Misfit obliges and then reveals against the grandmother’s attempts: ‘nome, I ain’t a good man’. From then on, the grandmother’s speech and attitudes become desperate to the point of losing her voice. She brings up religion and faith as another attempt to save herself: she tries to convince him to pray because Jesus will make him a good man. Unfortunately, calling up on grace and Christian principles makes no difference in the Misfit’s behavior. She even doubts Jesus at one point: 'maybe he didn't raise the dead'.  In fact, not even negotiation works for salvation: ‘I’ll give you all the money I got’.

This story portraits divine grace and salvation as two of its main themes so, the exchange between the misfit and the grandmother shows them as two sinful human beings calling up on grace to justify their behavior.

List three (3) of the six (6) steps in the decision-making process. Using an example of a decision you're trying to make, descri
motikmotik

Three of the steps in decision making are- Identify the problem, Evaluate alternatives, and Making the decision. For example, if we are trying to choose to buy a dog or not we use those steps to help us choose our final decision.

With the 'Identify the problem' step, you should take a step back from the issue and realize what your issue is and why it's an issue. In our given example, our issue we are identifying is that we can not choose whether to get a dog or not. The things stopping us from getting a dog is our free-time, our travel issues, and disagreement with roommates.

With the 'Evaluate alternatives' step, you now should be choosing from the choices you have made into what we can do to make the best decision possible. In our example, for our travel issues we can hire a dog-sitter to watch over the dog while we are on vacations incase anything happens.

With the 'Making the decision' step, this is where after weighing pros and cons, finding alternatives, and a final conclusive: You make the choice. With our example, this is where we choose to buy the dog, or to not buy the dog.
