Diversity, Conflict, Understanding, Reconciliation

 

by Jeanne Martinson

 

 

IN PRINT AND AUDIO CD FORMAT

 

Ever wonder why we just can't get along? Why we react to each other the way we do? Individual differences - large and small - often create conflict between people. We have the choice of allowing this conflict to spiral down into dysfunction or of taking charge, becoming aware and developing understanding. It's all up to us!
