Unit 11 Conflict and Compromise
Lesson 1
Living in a Community
3. Read "Drummer Hits the Road". Answer the questions.
1. Why did the neighbours complain about Ma Ming
Because he often held parties at night and drummed late at night.
2. What did the community council do Why did they take action
They took a vote, gave Ma Ming a warning and told him that he ought to cease drumming or leave the property. Because after such a chorus of complaints, they had to take action.
3. Read "Drummer Hits the Road". Answer the questions.
3. Where is Ma Ming now What is his attitude towards the conflict
Now he is in a hotel in Shanghai. Ma Ming felt that they were prejudiced against him. He's bitter over the fact that people thought of his music as "noise". Otherwise he didn't really mind having to leave the flat.
4. What do you understand by the title "Drummer Hits the Road"
The drummer starts a journey to look for a proper house to stay.

1. Smith is not going to take things further with the police.
2. Smith also promised to change his ways from now on.
3. A large crowd of supporters sang "Happy Birthday" to James McKay as he left the police station. He was happy.
7. Do you think the conflicts were well-resolved in the two reports What other ways can you think of to deal with the conflicts
I think there had been other opportunities of resolving the conflicts in a more peaceful manner.
Another way to deal with Ma Ming's conflict: he negotiates an agreement with the community council on a couple of hours he could drum during the day.
Smith and McKay's conflict could be dealt with differently if the McKays had made their complaints to Smith earlier and Smith had changed his ways of doing things.

Example
... they were being driven mad being exposed to such noise.

a. Amy did not do well in her maths exam, and her mother was very angry with her as a result. Amy argued that one exam would not mean total failure, but her mother did not agree. Amy's way to deal with the problem was refusing to talk to her mother for three days.
5. Read each situation and how the conflicts are resolved. Analyse their possible consequences. Give comments or recommendations on how to deal with each situation.
Not talking to her mother for three days would make both Amy and her mother feel very upset. It would be better if Amy and her mother went to the maths teacher and discuss Amy's problems and find a solution.
