ABSTRACT

Imagine you are taking a stroll around your campus on a beautiful spring day. As you meander down the sidewalk, you come upon a large individual who is blocking your way. You do not feel that it is appropriate that you should have to step off the sidewalk to accommodate this person, so you yell, “Get out of my way.” He does not respond to your request. Incensed by this breach of etiquette, you push the sidewalk blocker and begin pummeling him with your fists. You even swipe at his head with your shillelagh (Irish walking stick).
