Question

Explain when you SHOULD NOT try to stop a conflict that you’re not directly involved in (could be other students, friends, strangers/bullying, arguments, violence).

Okay I get the question it being ask, but wouldn´t you want to stop like bullying or like any conflict that it may could have been.

Answer 1

Hi Eulalie! Yes I certainly understand your reaction to the question - it's often a good thing to be intervening when we see injustices happening in our surroundings! And so this question, from what I'm gathering, is asking you to try to brainstorm circumstances in which you might perceive the existence of a conflict, but then opt against getting involved. Maybe you can think of some prior experiences from your own life when *you* found yourself in a difficult situation, and then somebody else intervened, but you wished they had just left you alone instead? Or perhaps you can think of times in the past when you have gotten involved in a situation that didn't have anything directly to do with you, and then things didn't go well (i.e. maybe the other people involved in the situation didn't seem to appreciate your involvement?). Starting with some concrete situation from your own life (and then thinking about why things didn't go well in that particular situation) might help you to arrive at some more abstract ideas to talk about for this assignment.

Hope this helps, good luck! --Zach
