    I agree with the views of Vincent on even though El Chapo is a top level criminal, he still got caught because of being too arrogant. In my view, the world is more dangerous than it seems. He continues to be a criminal, but being punished by the law is not an issue. In addition, his actions cause civil unrest and violence. Some might object to the previous statement, of course, on the grounds that there won't be trouble if it is not sought after.…

In examining the case of Enrique and his family, the strengths and skills that I bring to this scenario is my ability to empathize with each family member, while maintaining a curious stance about their culture. Other areas that may be considered strengths are: making each family member feel important, heard, and safe to be vulnerable.
