   In fact, it prevents us from helping children to analyse conflict, to learn to cope with it and counter it
   
2. 
   Children have always known that there is conflict in the adult world
   
3. 
   However, the make-believe world that 19^th century rationally imposed on childhood in eurpoe and which we impose in an institutionalized manner through our modern education system can hardly be described or related in this regard
   
4. 
   We may therefore conclude that conflict in an instituionalised manner is not a matter of faith in children’s capacities, rather, it is a lack of faith in ourselves as adults.
   
5. 
   Further, psychologists tell us and story teller have always known that the child’s desire to search for order and coherence gathers strength to form the knowledge of conflict

   Although the lives of millions of people around the globe have been improved by the bank’s activities, it is now under fire
   
6. 
   The bank is also being blamed for large scale in voluntary resettlent to make way for dam and other construction project

   There are three approaches to listening—listening for comprehension, listening for empathy and listening for evaluation
   
4. 
   Although we spend nearly half of each communicate interaction listening, we do not listen well

   Each approach has a particular emphasis that may help us to receive and process information in different settings.
