Explanation:
Out of these options, option D is the one that best describes what you should do when you are involved in a conflict. Trying to listen to the other person is always the first step, as this ensures that you understand his position and that you consider the merits of his argument. Therefore, trying to understand is the second step. The third step would be to put your own position aside, and the final two would consist of thinking of both your needs and trying to reach a compromise.
Hi Martin, with all that is going on I'm not sure where i should stand, I don't know if i should stay quiet and keep my opinion on all this to myself or if I should stand up and state my opinion as a young African American female. I come to you in guidance on what i should do as you are someone i look up to because of all the things you did. Could you please write back when you get the chance.
