In this lesson
activity, students are encouraged to think about common conflicts and
brainstorm why these conflicts occur. By generating ideas about the
causes of conflict in specific scenarios, students will develop a
generalized list of the reasons that conflict occurs. Through a class
discussion, students will refine the lists that each group has created
to describe the reasons that people fight.
Many important
questions relating the story of the Aranya Kanda will be discussed in
the activities in this lesson. Perhaps more importantly, these
discussions should lead to a better understanding of the character
traits and actions that we define as "good" or "bad" in our society.
