Encountering Conflict
Encountering Conflict – Conflict can both crush people and inspire people to greater heights.
Conflict presents itself in various forms; it can occur in different places, can be intentional or unexpected and affect people in diverse ways. To survive people then need to develop coping mechanisms to overcome or at least begin their journey of recovery. If they cannot do this, then they will not be able to move on. Conflict is a subject that everyone in the world faces on a day to day basis, but at different levels and emotions.

Kate Miller-Heidke wrote the song ‘Caught in Crowd’ about a real story of lingering childhood regret. She wanted to raise awareness to people across the world, especially adolescents, of how bullying and peer pressure are causes of conflict. The song is about a relationship growing between a teenage girl and an outcast boy who is often bullied. It discusses how both had similarities, for example they both dealt with conflict at home. Towards the end it talks about the boy getting thrown to the ground and him shouting out to her to help him. But she ‘turned her back, and just walked away’. Kate Miller-Heidke encountered conflict and regrets the decision she made. Now she is motivated to make sure people of the younger generation do not make the same decision she made. Like Kate Miller- Heidke, Michael Gallagher, the father of Aidan Gallagher who was killed in the Omagh bombing wanted create a more satisfying life for himself, but also wanted to raise awareness that murders were not being brought to justice. He set up an Omagh Support and Self Help Group, which since 1998 have not stopped their fight. They have protested outside IRA meetings, written to the English Prime Minister and have talked to numerous newspapers but nothing has happened in relation towards the terrorist. In 2002, Michael Gallagher stated “what happened in Omagh is still capable of happening in other towns”.
