Original Message
Peter already got a few traffic tickets for reckless driving and
yesterday he was seated in the driver’s seat in his car with a beer
in his hand when a tragic accident happened. A man crossing the
street was hit and was seriously injured in an area where police
should be controlling traffic infractions. The hitter was immediately
arrested.
• Peter was parked far away from the accident
We communicate what
we see based on
prejudices and
previous experiences!
We should not deny our
differences
but accept and acknowledge them
Differences between people can
lead to miscommunication, a
lack of trust or even conflicts.
People communicate!
• It is “we-focused” (interdependence)
There are many problems
that need to be resolved, and the
Omoiyari spirit can be of immense
help in solving them.
In teams of 3 to 5,
discuss and create ideas
for projects a Local
Organization can conduct
in the community.
