While waiting for the coach to start soccer practice, you hear Ethan say that Chris is a terrible goal keeper. You get along well with both boys What do you do? Do you tell Chris or keep it to yourself? What is the benefit of telling Chris? What can you do instead of getting involved?

You tell Chris

Explanation:

You tell Chris because as his friend you need to be honest with him. The benefit of telling Chris is that by hearing it directly from you, it won't hurt his feelings as much. It'll avoid a worse confrontation later and it can be dealt with quickly and most peacefully. Instead of getting directly involved by telling Chris, you could work with Chris on his goal keeping skills, that way Ethan wouldn't be able to criticize Chris' skills and Chris wouldn't have to feel bad about what Ethan said because it would no longer be true.

because you are a boy

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
