I remember discussing how emotions can create a connection, but I'm not sure if that makes it ethical in all situations.

I'm pretty confident the answer is no. Emotions can cloud judgment and lead to poor decisions. Business should be conducted in a professional, unemotional manner.

I think the answer is no. Relying on emotion is not the best way to build strong, lasting business relationships. It's important to communicate in a clear, rational way.

Hmm, I'm leaning towards saying no on this. Emotions shouldn't really be involved in professional business dealings. It's better to keep things objective and focused on the facts.

I'm not sure about this one. Using emotion in business agreements seems risky, but I can see how it might appeal to someone's goodwill. I'll have to think it through carefully.
