Perseverance is Key Perseverance is the act of continuing an action even if problems or difficulty needs to be faced (Google search). Being involved in conflict is not always easy but it turns out there are many methods to responding to conflict. The best possible way to respond to any type of conflict is to persevere.

A recent research has proven that “If a person shows a genuine concern for the well-being of other people (and puts their own needs last), people will notice the change and open mindedly follow along” (Tramilton). When people are facing conflict, they tend to get defensive and loose all of the good qualities that they have. This quote is basically saying that people need to think about how they handle situations and that their actions will influence others. If someone runs into a difficult situation, it would be a lot faster and easier to get through it by acting like a kind, caring person. In addition, in The Boy in The Striped Pajamas, Shmuel, who was a Jew was enclosed in a concentration camp and barely got any food until one day he had the opportunity to eat.

For instance, Anne Frank overheard on the English radio that friends were being taken away. In Source A, she asked herself, “If it 's that bad in Holland, what must it be like in those faraway and uncivilized places where the Germans are sending them? We assume that most of them are being murdered.” In other words, Jewish people who listened to the English radio felt threatened and apprehensive, because the government was leading them to make assumptions of horrible conditions friends and family may be in. Similarly, the eight steps of genocide illustrate how the government’s actions affect the Nazis view of the Jewish people, by making them seem different and out of place.
