What strike you most in this lesson that you can apply to your own

Lesson 2: Conflict theory
Is conflict good or bad?
Conflict can be good or bad. Conflict has the capacity not only to cause harm and pain, but also
to create a positive change for us. A possible reason for its bad reputation is that conflicts are
often poorly managed and handled in painful way.
It produces new ideas, solves continuous problems, provides an opportunity for people and
teams to expand their skills, and fosters creativity. When opposing ideas are explored, a
breakthrough of thinking can occur. Without conflict, you have “groupthink,” which discourages
innovation.
If you happen to belong to the ruling / upper class of society, what would
you do with your resources? If you happen to belong to the working class,
what will you do to get quality education?
Create a financial grants or financial aid to support a student's education, awarded on
the basis of academic or other achievement such as sports, cultural inclination and arts.
Changes don’t happen unless you take charge. Talk to people who have similar interest
and the drive to do something good for the community. Gather in underprivileged kids
who are willing to learn in and around your locality and teach them. Talk to their parents
about your initiative/plan and get them on board. Teach them basics like Numbers and
English alphabets. This initiative would make the kids want to learn more and go to
schools. Ignite the spark of learning in these kids; they would be grateful to you forever.
