BIG QUESTION: Can progress be made without conflict?

Consider the ways that people make progress in their lives. Answer the BIG QUESTION using examples from your own experiences (please consider what is appropriate to share and how to share it for the purpose of discussion). The following are circumstances that can lead to progress (that may help you answer the BIG QUESTION):

  • Someone overcomes adversity (athletics, medical, financial, academic, etc)
  • A change is made after an argument.
  • A concession is offered for the sake of achieving a common goal.
  • Internal conflict, a struggle within oneself, leads to personal progress.
  • A change to a situation ends up causing a conflict.
Write a minimum of 8-10 sentences. The response can be longer. The purpose is to SHARE OUT for classroom discussion.
