UP AND AWARE - 6

Conflicts with others can sometimes start with a very small problem,
for example, Rina and Sahil wanting to eat different things. Conflicts
become bigger than when they started if people do not know

how to make peace. That’s when the ‘Conflict Escalator’
appears and the people in a conflict begin to climb
it, making the problem bigger and bigger. An
escalator is a moving staircase that takes

people up and down. Once you get on
the escalator, it is very difficult to get
off until you reach the end of it. 6
