The Human Flaw...

Fact: People do not enjoy having their pride injured.

Fact: People do not enjoy being embarrassed in front of their peers.

Belief: With age comes wisdom.

Example:
Three students (Jill, Fred, and Marge) in a Spanish class are asked to make a group presentation. During the presentation Marge is given an instruction by the professor to ask Jill a question. Marge become confused but asks the question. Jill becomes flustered and is unable to answer the question.
10 minutes later: Marge is in the hall complaining to a fellow student about what a horrible professor she has and that the professor had no right to a) interrupt the presentation and b) force her to ask and question and c) expect that Jill should be able to answer.

Fact: All the questions and answers needed for this scenario had been taught to all the students multiple times.

Fact: In order to learn you must practice. When learning to speak another language you must actually speak it or you will not learn it.

Moral: ????
