With your group, role-play internal conflicts and then find solutions to overcome them. Use your moral compass
Internal conflict can happen for many different reasons. If you see someone experiencing internal conflict, noticing it because of their body language or behaviour, it is important to show empathy and try to help them find a solution to cope with this. You can always use your moral compass to guide you on taking the right decision
In your group, invent a scenario in which one or two people are experiencing conflict. The others must try to help and come up with solutions. Try to find ways of offering advice or ideas for activities that can help them feel better

Charles Plumb was a US navy pilot in Vietnam. His plane was destroyed after 75 war missions and Plumb parachuted into enemy hands. He was captured and spent six years in a Vietnamese prison. He survived and now speaks about the lessons he learned from that experience.
One day, when Plumb was sitting in a restaurant, a man at another table came up and said, "You're Plumb! You flew jet fighters in Vietnam... You were shot down!" "How did you know that?" asked Plumb. "I packed your parachute," the man replied. Plumb gasped in surprise. The man pumped his hand and said, "I guess it worked!" "It sure did," Plumb replied. "If it hadn't worked, I wouldn't be here today."
That night, Plumb couldn't sleep thinking about the man. He says, "I kept wondering what he had looked like in a navy uniform.... I wonder how many times I might have seen him and not even said 'Good morning, how are you?' or anything because, you see, I was a fighter pilot and he was just a sailor

Wreckage after Katrina
I've lived on the Mississippi coast for 30 years. I've been through four or five hurricanes and countless tropical storms. Before Hurricane Katrina came through in August 2005, I thought, 'If my house gets washed away, I'll just stay at my mother's house or my brother's house' - never thinking all our homes would be destroyed
On Friday night (26 August 2005), some of us boarded up our houses. Others in town were saying that they didn't want to overreact to the hurricane forecasts. But I was running around like crazy, yelling. This is a category] four
Saturday, I evacuated to my friend's house with my 81-year-old mother, my 28-year-old niece and my sister-in-law. We packed clothes, food and water. On Sunday, the news showed the eye of the hurricane heading toward our exact location. At Tam, wind started pummelling the house. I woke everyone up and we listened to the radio. We learned that all three of the emergency operation centres were washed away. That's when I knew we were in big trouble. Then we lost the radio. Looking outside, we watched in horror as the house behind us turned into what looked like a living, breathing monster. The roof would lift, the house would expand, and then the roof would fall Finally, the house exploded
The next day, we drove out to see what had happened. The wind was still strong enough to buffet my little car. We drove through the centre of town, where downed power lines were strewn about. When we turned toward my street, all I saw was a big lake where there once had been houses, trees and roads. So we tried to enter from the other end, but there were too many fallen trees. I arrived at the empty slab of my mother's house first. It had been wiped clean - but miraculously, in the mud, I found her wedding band, as well as my dad's paratrooper bracelet from WWII. Those two items are all my mother has left
My house was completely gone. I knelt down on my slab and said out loud, 'I am so grateful that the people I love have lived. And I cried. I had 20 good years in that house, and I feel fortunate. My street looks like a picture of Chernobyl after the nuclear blast. It's all brown, clothes are hanging from trees and debris is everywhere. Brown, nasty water is seeping out of the ground. But after much digging in the mud, I decided I had to stop and start rebuilding my life. I no longer want to live in Mississippi. I no longer want to go to sleep at night in a graveyard. I will leave here and make a new life somewhere else
a. How could the writer manage this nature vs man conflict
b. Do some research on natural disasters in the world
