　　Often all the people in a community may not agree with a law. There may be conflicts of beliefs and feelings. A common type of conflict occurs when the needs of desires of the majority of the community conflict with those of a minority in the community. For example, a community may decide that it would be a good idea to build a park in the middle of the town so that young children would have a playground, everyone would have a place to picnic, and people would have a place to walk their dogs. But in order to make the park, the town would have to sell their houses and business to the town. Most communities have a law that gives the town the right to buy private property for public use. But, of course, the people who would have to sell would not be happy. Is it right the community to make people leave their property?

　　Saying no is tough in our society. Not many of us like dishing out rejection. We tend to feel guilty about turning people down. Also, we enjoy the feeling of being wanted and needed that invitations and requests bring.
Another reason: we want to avoid potential confrontations. We’re uncomfortable with the contest of wills we imagine may result. Then, too, most of us weren’t taught to value saying no, nor taught how to say no in ways that leave the feelings of all concerned intact. In most cases, we were even taught that saying no was selfish and uncooperative.
Last but not least, if we say yes to others often enough, we’ll hardly ever have time to say yes to our own most cherished goals and dreams. Then we won’t have to face the fear of failing to achieve them.

　　Recently, doctors at hospitals have been prescribing* too much medicine for patients. However, that is not the case with the doctor who has been my primary care physician since I was a child.
