“Navigating Differences: Overcoming Conflict and Exclusion in Personal Relationships”

Scenario 2-Personal
It’s the time of year when you gather with friends and family. Recent events in the news that impact different cultures have caused differences of opinion related to issues of justice and fairness, creating conflict with those you care about. You are hosting the next holiday celebration with your family members and friends with diverse thoughts and opinions. Conflict #2 – Feeling excluded from your friends
You and your group of friends have different abilities and come from different cultures. You’ve recently experienced a life change and, as a result, you are feeling more increasingly excluded from your group of friends. You used to hang out together all the time, but now you find yourself left out of their plans and conversations. Whenever you try to join in, they seem to ignore you and brush you off.
