Scenario Conflict and Template to use for the Assignment

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. You are tasked with creating a guidebook that details the importance of social justice, cultural awareness, and communication strategies in a personal setting. Your guidebook will begin by introducing the concepts of social justice in relation to a personal setting. Then, it will describe how having an awareness of culture and diversity can positively impact communication and collaboration in personal settings. Finally, it will model how to navigate one of the following conflicts by applying interpersonal communication strategies and restorative practices. Your guidebook will be used at gatherings of friends and family in the future.

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.
