A few days back, while teaching, I came across a situation which could have turned to be explosive. Two girls started fighting about whose religion was better. I was aghast. 
How could they, at such a young age, fight for such a reason as religion? I thought I had to deal with them in a tactful manner. I called both the girls near my table and asked them what the matter was. One of them told me that the other girl was making fun of their God. That’s why she fought with her. Then I told them, “Why are you fighting in the name of religion? 
Do you want to become politicians when you grow up?” “No”, they said sheepishly. It was then that I remembered that in one of the psychology classes students were told that generalization is not good. How could I state that all the politicians are bad? I immediately corrected myself and told them that there is no harm in becoming a politician but be a good politician. 
Hahaha….the next time the kids ever happen to see a politician…..”would only find a trouble-maker”in them:)Probably,”those words had come out from your “unconscious mind”,though you did not mean it….right!?:)Its true…..”We have to motivate our children to be politicians”.And a Nice way of handling the situation:)
