thread_title: Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment

message: Practicing unarmed self-defense over forty years with a limited but 
useful skill at martial arts taught me that vigilance, preparedness, 
virtue and justice often de-escalate situations long before physical 
conflict exists.
Among other factors these can be used, roughly in order of importance
Human Rights, Justice and Tolerance are the most valuable and productive
and are excellent contributions to human interaction wherever cultural
differences exist.  They usually mitigate situations before tempers
rise.  
Candor, humor and virtue are valuable as well.   Evasion is good though
a strong part of society considers it cowardice.   However, yielding is not
popular in the United States which is going through an intense, prolonged
Yang period now.  Yielding is merely a norm where the Weltanshaungg is Yin.
That is not expected to be the case in the United States until at least
2050 to 2070.
Many people who would otherwise be offensive are struggling with some problem 
or other, which may range from fragile existence within a mess of repressive 
unwillingness to feel and be sensible about their reality, to hunger, cold and 
alienation.  Tolerance, understanding and even a slight willingness to help 
them is often valuable.  
Some are so isolated they must sleep outdoors in winter cold because of what
appears to be a primitive fear of excess heat which confuses their metabolism.
It could be that internal heat makes the natural season seem inverted.  But
human beings evolved in a world where cold was not unusual and there is a
strong ability to endure it and count the suffering passe.
Of course there are cases where none of these things work:  the person may be
raging or drunk.  These are rare if one does not go looking for them.

message: === The status quo ...as of the "02:08, 18 November 2017‎" version === 
In the current version of the article (this version, which is the "02:08, 18 November 2017‎" version), the section [about] "Verbal De-escalation in Psychiatric Settings" still contains an "" tag! (The wikitext 
says: "".) 
This was probably OK in the past, when it was TRUE. (That section really used to be empty [except maybe for a "" tag] ... at some time in the past.) 
=== But now, that section is no longer empty! === 
As of the current version of the article (and, in fact, dating back to this edit), that section is not "EMPTY". 
=== suggestion: remove the "" tag ===
Maybe there is more to this, than what I know about /  what I understand. (I don't think so, ... at least, I don't think there is a good reason to leave in that "" tag; but please [feel free to] "chime in", and leave a comment here, if you disagree.) (Actually, you are welcome to "chime in", anyway -- whether you disagree or not.)  
Any comments? If not, then I recommend that someone should edit this article, (maybe I should do that?) to remove that "" tag. --Mike Schwartz (talk) 05:32, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
