p May 22 , 2008 Vogels `How I learned to Drive` and Ibsens `A Doll House` In dealing with human nature , disagreements arise from a misunderstanding or a false assumption of both parties involved . Humans being regarded as the highest form among animals created because of the intelligence and wisdom endowed upon them , are expected to use this to form good and better relationships with one another .
