First is my personal experience. I was raised in a multi-cultural home with a Thai mother and a Caucasian American father. I was born in Bangkok, Thailand and tired there briefly before moving to the United States. My dally experience with a different culture, (i.e. my mother and her family are Buddhist) racism, and prejudiced has made me very erapathetic to the needs and rights of all individuals. Secondly, I recently worked with developmentally disabled adults through Systems Unlimited for approximately four years before a career change. Through this experience I could actually affect the quality ofa person's life with simple respect ofConsumer Rights. Onthe other hand, I worked to improve Consumer Rights despite some opposition by guar~ns and~ administration. What is your oresent knowledl~e of this Advisory Board? The Human Rights Commission is a voluntary committee selected by the Iowa City Council members. The committee helps the city enforce the Human Rights Ordinance. On the ICgov.org web site the Commissions meeting agendas are posted and I follow city government in the local newspapers and and television. One change that came from the city that I have been following has been the monitoring of racial profiles oflowa City police stops. I understand that this falls more under the Citizens Pohce Keview Board but it shows an awareness and willingness to protect the citizens by the city. What contributions do you feel you can make to this advisory board {'or state reason for annlvin~? With my diverse background and work experience I believe I am able to get a "feel" for what some Iowa City residents want from a the Human Rights Ordinance. As an example, some of my friends and acquaintances have mentioned difficulties with many downtown businesses not being wheelchair accessible. These Iowa City residents my not know how to deal with such an issue or whom to contact. Making the Human Rights Commission more visible may help these residents. While another issue that is affecting us around the nation since September 11 has been the ethnic or religious profiling of Arabs and Mushms in the Umt~d States. I believe that this situation should be watched very closely as not to violate an individuals civil rights, especially on a local level where we have a diverse population at the University of Iowa. These and the other populations simply to be treated fairly and with equal rights.

T~ough direct sales at the Dane County Farmers' Market, small retail stores ad fine restaurants we have earned a reputation for especially fluyogi, high quality vegetables, fmks and herbs. Again this y~, Hamony Valley Farm is making that same, high quality produce available at a less-than-retail cost to households who wish to paaicipate as CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) members. Community Supported Agriculture creates a direct relationship between you and the farm. You will receive a weekly box of our flesh, in- season produce delivered to a convenient lo~tion in your neighborhood. You'll know your produce dollar goes directly to the people who plant, tend and ha~est your food. You will be supporting orga~c growing methods that prote~ soil resources and water quality and assure you of the most healthai, nutritious produ~ possible.

The benefits The great tasting vegetables are only the most obvious benefit to being a CSA member Later our members realize that they are contributing to their own health while playing an important role in the health of the local, rural economy. Eating seasonally for most of the year means less money spent 'on foods grown on distant farms and shipped many miles It means your whole produc~ dollar goes to the farmers at Harmony Valley and is not divided up between freight lines and fresh vegetable distributors. Participating in CSA makes an important contribution tosvard shaping the kind of countryside we value, one of viable family farms, and resources under responsible stewardship. Harmony Valley farmers, Richard de Wilde and Linda Halley, recognize that the direct relationship between the farm and members also means that people arc able to enjoy their produce at its most nutritious and tastiest -- freshly picked and packed, right from the farm. We plant varieties selected for exceptional flavor and harvest them at their peak [t is not unusual for members to tell us that, because the flavor of our produce is so much better, they have discovered they really do like many of the vegetables they once had no desire to eat.

The ad campaign targets corn and soybean farmers in five states including Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri and South Dakota. The campaign is a grassroots effort that is intended to provide balanced information on genetic engineering from a farmer perspective. Bill Christison, a Missouri farmer and president of the National Family Farm Coalition, said that providing farmers with a non- industry perspective on genetic engineering is critical at this time. "Family farmers are seeing overseas markets shrink partly because of GMO seed. Our prices are already low and these market declines can only do more harm. The Farmer to Farmer Campaign is encouraging farmers to consider this problem when they buy their seed this spring." The ads highlight recent negative market developments brought on by GE crops, including: * USDA recently lowered its forecast of com exports for the marketing year by 90 million bushels, a cut private analysts say is largely due to the impact of the contamination of the corn crop by the genetically modified corn Starlink (Des Moines Register: February 25, 2001) * Projected U.S. corn exports are reduced because some importers, especially Japan, are expected to minimize purchases of varieties of corn not approved for some, or all, uses. (USDA WASDE: March 8, 200l) * Brazil has won its first contract to supply Spain with 150,000 tons of non-GMO corn. They sold it at a 15-cent premium. In 1999, the U.S. lost $200 million in sales of corn to Spain and Portugal alone.

The campaign works to bring the family farmer voice to development of policies related to genetic engineering in agriculture. In November 1999, over thirty farm groups endorsed the Farmer's Declaration on Genetic Engineering in Agriculture, an initial effort of the campaign.

We have many friends in both the farm sector, and non-farm sector who are becoming very concerned about what is happening to their food production industry. They are concerned, but are mostly unaware of what is really taking place and of the consequences that will dpple through society if the corporate move on production agriculture goes unchecked, It's time to let other people know what we already know, and do it in a big way. NFO needs to get out front and take the leadership to make the non-farm sectors aware of what is happening to their food production system. Tho~e in the non-farm sectors can have a powerful influence in the political arena, and their influence with their rural fdends can go a long way to benefit our collective bargaining process. We all know there are a lot of people, even in the farm sector, that need to-be made aware of what is happening. That is why we have scheduled a multi-social sector conference on April 7m. We need your help to make it successful, and give NFO the visibility it needs. Please read the enclosed "Letter of Invitation" -then make twenty copies, to give to twenty people that you know. Copies can be made at a bank, library, or supermarket for about ten cents a copy. This letter requesting your help is going to about a thousand NFO members, and if you will help us on this, we can notify 20,000 people. We also have consumer and labor groups doing this in the Twin City area, working in cooperation with us. Special invitations will go to legislators and leaders of many other organizations. If possible, try to get your local newspaper to print it as an editorial. You can also e-mail it. Do everything you can to publicize the event. Please make a few copies of the enclosed flyer, and get them up in public places, so everyone can know about it. and it can become a topic of conversation around town. Use your imagination to get people out to the Apdl 7th conference .it could be the beginning of rolling back the influence of multi-national conglomerates. as other states pick up our lead in this effort. You are the key to making this event a success, by being there yourself, and distributing the invitation letter to others. This is important, ,_Q.-':- r,o "- Robed W. Arndt, President innesota National Farmers Organization Michael AN OPEN LETTER OF INVlTATION Go rman TO THE PEOPLE OF MINNESOTA A quiel revolution is going virtually unnoticed by the vast majority of Americen citizens. Arnedce's food production system is literally being captured by corporate capital or multi-national companies. American farmers producing American food is being replaced, almost unnoticed. The positioning of international capital to produce food for International corporale profit on Amedcan soil, is rapidly taking place. The so-called farm crisis is becoming an Amedcan citizen's crisis, and few realize it. The pressure of corporate 'science' increases with their investment in our food production system. We are in danger of losing Ame~ca's internal competitive markets; the new wealth distribution of profit; and the basis to sustain the American economic structure, -our land value. The selling of 'free wodd trade' and the idea of a "seamless" food chain, has been effective in benefiting this rapid takeover of our food production system. The good news is that it doesn't have to happen. There is still time to exercise our options, but it will take 'awareness" and infon'ning the non-farm sectors of what is happening to their food production system. They have as much at stake in this loss as the farm sector has. A multi-social sector conference that addresses "The Quiet Takeover of Amedca's Food Production System--and My Role in Preventing It" is being sponsored by the National Farmers Organization. We invite all consumers, farmers, business people to join us at this conference from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm on April 7, 2001 at the high school auditorium in Watertown. Minnesota. Guest speakers include Dr. Richard Levins, University of Minnesota economics, and Dr. William Heifernan, University of Missoud sociologist. Ariditional presentations will outline the actions and the conditions that are creating the atmosphere for this takeover. Discussion will address the timetable. and the consequences if this situation is left unchecked, as welt as the options available to us. The presentations will be completed by 12:30, with the afternoon session devoted to discussion and defining "our role in preventing it." Food stands will be available during lunch break. This will be a non-political, non-partisan event. The focus will be on the question, "Do we want American farmers producing Amedcan food, or do we want international corporate capital producing food on Amedcan soil for their own corporate profit?" Thank you for your time and consideration in reading this letter. All of us involved in bdnging this conference to your attention urge you to attend this conference. Everyone who eats has a stake in the future of food production, and who controls it. Si cerel Robert W.

Identity Preservation ,~ ~C, co 'r'- Canada Supplies Non-GMO and IP Soybeans: Various trade journals rr~ ~ t'l'[ have looked at the issue of Canada supplying a growing market for _~ ;~ 7:'. non-GMO as well as identity-preserved (IP) soybeans. According to some in the soybean industry, Canada (specifically Ontario who is a major -- soybean producing province) has a competitive advantage in being able to supply non-GMO white helium soybeans. Japanese buyers who want uon-GMO white soybeans turn to Canada who will later process the soybeans into white tofu. A staff person for the Ontario Soybean Growers (OSG) said that some companies involved in trading non-variety specific white soybeans believe that the introduction of a Roundup Ready white soybean would be harmful to the Ontario industry. Other companies that trade in higher-value, variety-specific IP markets think it would enhance their business. A trader for Maple Leaf foods said that there is "zero demand" beyond the crush market from overseas buyers for GM white soybeans. However, the trader also stated that Asian buyers are choosing Ontario soybeans because of the IP programs in place and not because the soybeans are from Ontario or that they are non-GM white soybeans. A seed marketing manager from Monsanto indicated that Koundup Ready Soybeans would not be available in Canada in 2001. Increasing Acreage to IP Soybeans in Ontario: According to a March 16 Ontario Farmer article, IP soybean production in Ontario has increased from a minor crop several years ago to accounting for a nearly a third of all soybean acres (approximately 650,000 acres, based on Statistics Canada soybean acreage of 2.2 million acres). The president of First if2 06/04/2001 4:06 PM .ulacia Shuns Monsanto's Roundup Ready Soybeans htlpJ/WWW.PUREFOOD.ORG/gefood/whitesoybean~cfm Michael Line Seeds says that food grade soybeans in North America tend to be Gorman categorized according to how Asian buyers view quality. Generally, Canadian soybeans are valued over U.S. soybeans, and soybeans grown in the northern regions like Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Ontario have an edge over soybeans grown further south. The climate in the more northern regions tend to result in higher protein levels. Regarding soybean quality, the lowest level quality soybeans are the crusher beans. The rest of the rankings in ascending order are as follows: mixed non-GMO varieties; non=GMO varieties that are identity-preserved; mixed white varieties; mixed white varieties that are identity preserved; then IP varieties with special nits. At the top of the quality chart for North American soybeans are premium 11~ varieties that closely resemble top varieties grown in lapan for tofu andnatto. 6 I01 Cliff Estate Rd., Little Manis, MN 556~,,about us Activist or Media Inquiries: (218) 226-4164, Fax: (2 18) 2"y~6'-4157 X/yon sttpport this web site, send a lax-deductible donation to OCA Organic Food News ~ Green Living vs Cornorate Abuse Genetically Engineered Food vents I Daily News I Participate Locally [Food ln'adiation ~ Mad Cow Diseases CJD ~ / h ~ure~ding/Patents & Xenotransplants I rBGH I Toxic Food I Monsanto Watt SEARCH site using keywords. i I_v.'ant. a .fr e%_sub.~iption * Iliol)emocracy News (published every 6 weeks) n:evious issut~ r- .H'2 06/04/2001 4:06 PM p Michael ,~.

Harris, AICP School of Architecture Department of Urban and Environmental Planning University of Virginia This conference has offered important new insights into some of the issues and challenges that confront the fairness struggle in the holistic environmental sphere. Conference participants have glenned the motivations for disparities of policy implementation as a function of race, gender, social class, and location. It is through these considerations that the conference has proven a very real value for further intellectual inquiry and policy making. We commend the planners and presenters for their informative, productive contributions. We also extend appreciation to the community of scholars at the University of Oregon for hosting this program. My purpose tonight is to offer brief comments summarizing the sessions and hopefully stimulate further discussion of the issues and challenges presented. A closing comment is essential to properly motivate each of us to remember that the struggle against oppression requires a full-time commitment of energy, time, and courage. Especially is it important to reflect upon the seriousness of the situation in which we find ourselves as observers and participants in an exercise of alternatives of life and death, progress and survival, and choice and regression. Let me offer comments in the model of an equation. Trained as a physical scientist, I have come to respect the power of equations as a very useful way to ~chael Go~man 2 consider complex behaviors...both physical and social. The power of an equation Hes in the reality of its relationships, that is, an equation consists of two balanced or equal sides. Let us consider the implications of environmental racism within the context of equations. To productively discuss relationships, it is necessary to define two key terms that will hold prominence in the discussion. First is environmental. Environment is the sum total of the social, political, economic, and natural systems. To make it possible to more conveniently understand environment, we must close the system to be limited to that which we can either measure or recognize through our senses. Second is the definition of racism. Talmadge Anderson of Washington State University describes racism as [individual or institutional] holding the view that a race (of people) is inherently inferior to another; this is prejudice. A second requirement for the existence of racism is having the power to implement or carry out these biased views. I will comment upon environmental racism within these definition contexts. Clearly these definitions are not limited to natural systems or the ecological domain. Equally there is assumption that some are at risk more than others as a function of design and intent...not accident. Returning to the idea of an equation, let me posit the following relationship: Environmental Justice is the difference of Environmental Sustainability and Environmental Racism; where the latter is the sum of Social Discrimination, Political Oppression, Economic Inequities, and Ecological Abuse. In order to employ the notation of equations, we must allow a shorthand where we leLt~ Michael Gorman 3 EJ = Environmental Justice ER = Environmental Racism ES: Environmental Sustainability sn: Soei. I Disc.minatiou PO: Political Oppression El = Economic Inequities EA: Ecological Abuse and the equation is EJ = ES - ER and ER: [SD+PO+EI+EA]. It is apparent that environmental justice is realized ONLY when the social, political, economic, and ecological factors are not limited. The equation also puts the definition ofsustainabili~y to equal that of fairness or environmental justice. The folly of the myth of the"founders" of the Constitution is a classless society. From the very initial effort, lead by the super racist slave holder Thomas Jefferson, the white men (supported by their women) framed a social system that by law (de jure) placed African Americans in an inferior position. Employing color as the most salient basis for social status in the nation, European Americans exploited their power of military and numbers to constrain Africans and other people of color to second class status. This social discrimination was sustained through the brutality of Afriean American slavery and Native American genocide. To achieve these oppressive ends, whites exploited the natural environmental resources of land, air, water, and species in a manner disproportionately in their favor. Only to a degree has these behaviors changed in four hundred years. Michael Gotman F/LED 4 2QOI JUL 23 PN I: 1~2 The primary purpose of all governments is to maintain stability.../ha/is, CIi'Y ~L RK protect ,he ,tams quO. The American political system shares this ~ 0 of governments. The status quo for European Americans is a powerless, token- represented African American community. Politics is the business of public decision making and private sector influence. Historically and traditionally, we African Americans have been the most aggressive group politically. In fact, the primary contribution of African peoples to the Western Hemisphere is the struggle against oppression...It certainly is not sports, dance and music, or sex. Notably, it has been the Congressional Black Caucus that has made the most significant proposals for environmental protection over the last decade; none has been taken seriously by the majority membership of Congress. Four years ago, the Atlantic Monthly reported that "all political decisions in America are race specific." Political oppression of African Americans is continuous and real; the Imlitically correct myth is that things have improved. The United States is a capitalistic nation founded upon a commitment of enslavement for African Americans and the land-rape of Native Americans. White people have never done the hard work in this nation. The so-called pioneers were able to go West only at the expense of native peoples. Southerners were able to fashion plantations only at the expense of African slaves. The ugly tragedy has been that abusive European Americans have forced African Americans and Native Americans to destroy the natural systems in fulfillment of white people's desires. African Americans own less than one percent of the nation's wealth; sit on very few major corporation board of directors; experience two hundred percent greater rejection for home loans than their white cohorts; and are rejected for leadership positions in colleges and university faculties and Michael Gorman ~,~ administrations. The continued economic inequilies put upon Africa~etci~an~T~ is borne out in the national rates of poverty, quality of health, wealth. The fmal term in our equation is an indicator of the level of injury caused the natural systems through the exploitation of humans. White environmentalists speak of ecological abuse as the destruction or exceeding of carrying capacity of a "natural" system. Such thinking is calculatedly racist. The greatest abuse of the environment by European peoples in the North and South worlds has been that against human populations. The excesses, prolonged injuries, and irreversible damages owe more to racist, sexist practices than to the cutting of trees, damming of rivers, or poising of the atmosphere. It is critically important to view environment in the open system perspective rather than limiting it to an ecological frame of reference. Many deep ecologists articulate the view that humans and other natural systems share equally the value of life and being; however, these people are never seen protesting the privileges of whites over African Americans and other people of color. The white faculty in my school argue for a sustainable environment while at the very same instant they support the promotion of the most racist, sexist white men and women. In closing, environmental justice IS environmental sustainability. In our use of equations and mathematics, the word 'is' means equal to. For those who think it is possible to build sustainable futures without first meeting the terms of the equation offered here are mistaken. Given more time, we may discuss the coefficients or weights that must be given each term in the equation.

An integral part of the Wisconsin Ag Stewardship initiative (WASI), the Discovery Farm program takes a real-world approach to finding the most vconomical solutions to overcoming the challenges environmental regulations place on farmers. The whole-farm system will be looked at on every Discovery Farm to determine how each management component affects the whole system and the system's effect on the environment. The goal of Discovery Farms is not only to help farmers find the best solutions to dealing with environmental regulations, but also to shape future environmental regulations to fit what's applicable and achievable in Wisconsin, in order to maintain a viable agricultural economy. Currently one Discovery Farm has been selected, located in Independence. This farm, operated by the Bragger family, consists of dairy, beef, poultry and cropping enterprises. The Discovery Farm program is envisioned to include 25 to 30 farms total, spanning Wisconsin's diverse soil types, physical and water characteristics and cropping and livestock enterprises. Discovery Farms is a producer-driven project, with a largely producer-based advisory board. WASI is a partnership with cooperation from the State of Wisconsin, the University of Wisconsin system, DATCP, DNR, NRCS and extension, as well as WMMB and Wisconsin Farm Bureau. The Discovery Farm program is being headed up by Dennis Frame, nutrient management specialist in Wisconsin, and Fred Madison, UW- Madison soil scientist.

JUL Introduction: CfFY The Wisconsin Agriculture Stewardship Initiative is an effort among producers, dti~it~lTy IOWA researchers, agricultural organizations and government agencies to develop an approach to production agriculture that results in environmentally compatible and economically sustainable farms. The Discovery Farm Program links the reseamh components (both component and systems research) and commercial operations. The role of a Discovery Farm is to determine how to implement management recommendations and to determine how these recommendations impact the operation in terms of environmental quality, labor requirements, changes in management practices and the impact of these recommendations on farm profitability. What is required to narticinate as a Discovery Farm? 1. Must operate a functioning agricultural enterprise that is representative of the industry. 2. Must have or be willing to develop a soil conservation plan that reduces soil loss to tolerable level (T). The farm does not have to currently be fanning within tolerable levels, but they must be willing to change management practices to get to tolerable levels during the study. 3. Must have or be willing to develop a nutrient management plan that at the minimum provides nutrients at the nitrogen needs of the crop. A second nutrient management plan will be developed for the operation that is based on phosphorus management. A comparison of the differences in crop production, management practices, equipment needs, labor requirements and financial impacts of following a phosphorus based nutrient management plan will be evaluated. 4. Mustbewillingtosharefinancialinformationsothatthecostofadoptingchangesin management practices can be identified. Discovery Farms need to provide information on the current costs of storing and handling manure, level of nutrient crediting currently being taken, hauling distances and labor and management requirements. This will provide the baseline information necessary to determine the cost of proposed environmental regulations. 5. Must be willing to adopt changes in fanning practices and to keep tract of how these changes affect their labor requirement, equipment needs, increases or reductions in purchased nutrients, affects on yield and profitability. 6. Willingness to participate in field days or meetings to discuss their experiences with other farmers. 7. It is anticipated that farmers selected as Discovery Farms will be in the program tbr 3 - 5 years. The collection of base farm data will take a few months and then the identification and implementation of practices will take another period of time. Monitoring outcomes and costs will be done Ibr the remainder of the program. Practices that are cost-shared may need to be maintained for a period of time greater than the program (7 - 10 years). Richael Gorman What will narticivants receive? I. A $5,000 annual stipend for their time and assistance with this project. 2. Assistance developing and implementing their soil conservation plan to tolerable levels. 3. Assistance developing and implementing their nutrient management plan. 4. Technical and possibly financial assistance with changes in facilities or management practices that will improve their enviromnental management. 5. Some farms will have monitoring equipment placed in order to determine the level of nutrients or sediment reaching water resources. 6. Technical and possibly financial assistance with the implementation of best management practices. 7. Phosphorus and nitrogen balance sheets for the entire operation. 8. Some level ofconfidentiality in tenns of financial information. 9. Protection from the regulatory community and environmental groups for the changes that should be implemented based on their current fanning practices. ~ Michael Gotman ar.lo.,Z cOal:[e,Z Harmony Valley Farm, S. 3442 Wire Ho13owRd, Vlroqua, WI 54665~6 8) 4~143 harmony @mwt. net www. harmonyvalleyfarm.com~(~.~y Ig~00] On the Stand ~htsc~'Ve~' WhO iS a Hero? - Wisconsin is fast becoming k~own as a cradle of organic inx~ion.

The suit alleges that current FDA policy, which permits such altered foods to be marketed without testing and labels, violates the agency's statutory mandate to protect public health and provide consumers with relevant information about the foods they eat. It also charges that the policy violates religious freedom. The Alliance assembled the coalition and coordinated the suit, which was filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. and was followed by a press conference at the National Press Club which was televised by C~Span. The Washington-based htemational Center for Technology Assessment (CTA) collaborated in organizing the suit and is serving as lead counsel. Both the Alliance for Bio-Integfity and the CTA are nonprofit organizations dedicated to the protection of human health and the environment through sustainable and safe technologies. The Need for Stronger Safety Testing The FDA does not require testing of genetically engineered foods because it regards them to be as safe as their natural counterparts. This policy is based on the assumption that piecemeal, haphazard insertion of genes from distant and dissimilar species into an organism's DNA is substantially equivalent to sexual reproduction between like organisms, in which entire sets of genes are combined in a harmonious and ordered manner. The lawsuit alleges that this assumption is false, since it ignores the unpredictable disruptions that the foreign genes can cause in their new system. Through these disruptions, familiar foods can become toxic or carcinogenic. http://www.bio-integrity.org/Lawsuit.html 9/3/98 Michael Gorman ' S!o , eneiic E inee rin Please Come to the DStop GMOQsQ Rally Rushford, MN When: Wed., ~ranuary lg, 12:00 noon c~ Where: Outside the American Legion -~F'.~ Highway 16.

Emotions foster or impede understanding between people. (important to nommunleation) Most p~ople repress or cxF~ss motions ineffectively. Express or ReDress? Repress emotions to spare another persons feelings. Repress emotions not to burden others with your feelings. Repressing emotions or not communicating can be bad for you. When feeling strongly about something it is important to express emotions in appropriate way. Rdallonships and physical health can suffer if emotious are repressed. 4 Reasons peoole DON'T share emotions Social EJct~ectotlons refers to social factors that shape feelings and how we express thent In United States emotional expression is discouraged. Men restrain from expressing emotion (M r. Spok) Social expcelatinns keep us from expressing creptinns in turn wc do not own our feelings and thoughts, which leads to poor communication. FulnerabllitF refers to not wanting to express feelings because we don ~t want to expose ourselves to others. Reluctant to give others inside information that could affect others perceive us (expressed creptions can affect our Belonging, Sclf-csteem, and Sclf-actualization needs) Proteetin~ Others nat expressing feeling b/c of fear of hurting or upsetting others. Totally open and unrestrained expression o f feelings isn't always good. (Social expectations can set boundaries) Deal with feelings internally before trying to communicate. This can also have negative effect on relationships with others and threaten our health. Social and Professional Roles refers to the idea that rolez define what and when expressed emotions are approprint~ 'Police don't cry' 'Lawyers don't express creptions' 'Teachers don't express attraction to students' Make thoughtful choices about whether, when, and how to express our feelings. 3 common forms of Ineffective Expression of Emotions Soeakin~ in Generalities refers to the idea that terms w~oressed are so general and abstract that they don't clearly communicate our feeang~ No one single word like 'mad' can express how someone feels. Emotions come in groups, not as single feelings. 'Frustrated' can include feelings of anger, confusion, anxiety, hurt, and disappointment...
