Supplier and Retailer have a signed contract under which Supplier will deliver custom holiday inventory to Retailer for $100,000. Two days before delivery, Supplier says: “Pay an additional $20,000 or we won’t deliver.” Retailer, under pressure, signs a written modification agreeing to the extra $20,000. After the holidays, Retailer refuses to pay the extra $20,000, claiming the modification is voidable due to duress. Supplier sues to enforce the modification.

1994 In The March of Folly, published in 1984, historian Barbara Tuchman writes: Wooden-headedness, the source of self-deception, is a factor that plays a remarkably large role in government. It consists in assessing a situation in terms of preconceived fixed notions while ignoring or rejecting any contrary signs. It is acting according to wish while not allowing oneself to be deflected by the facts. Some people would claim that what Tuchman calls wooden-headedness plays a remarkably large role in all organizations and, indeed, in all human affairs. Write an essay that argues your position on the extent to which Tuchman’s claim about the prevalence of wooden-headedness in human actions and decisions is valid. In your response you should do the following:• Respond to the prompt with a thesis that presents a defensible position.• Provide evidence to support your line of reasoning.• Explain how the evidence supports your line of reasoning.• Use appropriate grammar and punctuation in communicating your argument.
