Linda is from Spain and Maria is from Italy. They are both 27. Finally, I am from Mexico. My name is Carmen and I was born in 1997 so I am 25 years old.

Theoretical Framework

🔹 What is Conflict?

A conflict is a disagreement or struggle between people or groups caused by different interests, needs, values, or goals. Conflicts are natural, but the way we handle them determines whether they have positive or negative consequences.

“Conflict is inevitable, but violence is not.” – Johan Galtung (Peace Theorist)

🔹 Types of Conflict:

• Interpersonal: Between individuals (e.g., classmates, friends, family).
• Social/Community: Between groups or sectors of society (e.g., protests, discrimination).
• Internal: Within oneself (e.g., moral dilemmas, decisions).
• Political/Citizen-State: Related to the exercise of rights, inequality, and social justice.

🔹 Why Do Conflicts Arise?

1. Lack of communication
2. Misunderstanding or stereotypes
3. Violation of rights
4. Inequality or exclusion
5. Power struggles
6. Cultural differences

🌍 2. Conflict and Citizenship

A good citizen doesn’t avoid conflict, but works to resolve it respectfully and fairly.

In a democratic society, citizens have both rights and responsibilities. When conflicts arise, solutions must be based on:

• Human rights: Everyone deserves respect, safety, and dignity.
• Social values: Respect, tolerance, solidarity, justice, responsibility.

¿Eres introvertido o extrovertido? Y más importante todavía… ¿eso importa para aprender inglés?

Buena pregunta. Porque mucha gente piensa que si eres introvertido, aprender a hablar inglés va a ser más difícil. Pero… ¿es realmente así?

Bueno, voy a contarles un secreto: yo soy extremadamente introvertido. En la escuela, casi nunca hablaba con otras personas. Era muy tímido; prefería pasar tiempo con un libro o caminando en la naturaleza en vez de ir a una fiesta o pasar tiempo con un grupo de personas. 

Y eso es difícil de creer ahora, porque llevamos más de diez años enseñando inglés y ¡hablando con miles de estudiantes!

Exacto. ¡Y aprendiendo muchos idiomas por medio de la conversación también! Pero para llegar a eso, tuve que practicar cosas que, honestamente, iban en contra de mi personalidad natural.

Hoy vamos a hablar de dos habilidades blandas que parecen muy complicadas para los introvertidos, ¡pero no son imposibles! En el episodio de hoy vamos a dar unos consejos muy prácticos para mejorar tus habilidades conversacionales, así que ¡no te lo pierdas!
