$2.$ In addition, identify specific power tactics they have used and classify them as either ethical or unethical $(13\mathrm{.}2).$

$3.$ Lastly, describe any situations or interactions in this setting where you have observed or been involved in political behavior or strategies. This can be a situation that involved others or perhaps only you and another person.
