Use your newspaper to find examples of conflicts between nations, and think about how the involved parties are different and also what they have in common. Read your newspaper's advice column as a guideline for the next activity. As you read each topic, try to predict how the advice columnist might respond. Next, pretend you have your own advice column, and you have received a letter from someone who is a victim of teasing. Write a response to that imaginary letter.
Conflicts come in many forms, including teasing, physical fights and debates, for example.
They can occur next door to you, or halfway around the world. Search your newspaper and count all the conflicts you find. Keep track of how many conflicts were resolved peacefully as opposed to how many involved violence. Convert your findings to percentages. Then, graph your results.
