what you do not know.

reaction on the conflict in Russia.
PROBLEM
You have no knowledge about the
existing conflict in Russia because you
do not follow it.
SOLUTION
Find a way to bridge what you
don't know and what you do
know.

9. RESPONSE
"I would imagine the conflict in
Russia to be like a conflict in my
own family. The following are
some steps that I observed in
patching up the conflict, which, in
a micro level, may be considered
by the Russian government...

10. b. Reframing. This means rephrasing or
redefining the topic into something that you want
to talk about. This usually occurs if you think the
topic is inappropriate or it is not meant for you. If
you are given a topic that you do not like or is not
right for you, don't despair. Simply reframe it as a
topic you'd like to respond to. Redefine the topic
as you believe it should be, or at least the way
you'd like it to be. Keep the structure but alter the
subject. Rephrase the question or even
challenge it; you can even argue why the
question given is not the right question at all.

capacity and efficiency.

complexities in differentiating two
concepts in science. These are natural

differ in terms of concepts and
processes..."
