Class design suggestions: extending a class and code reuse?

Especially if the methods are specific to your departments use of the class you should implement them as in: Create a single Helper class, with all the methods inside.

The last option won't affect anyone else, and isolates your one-off needs into a single class.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
