Which of the following is an example of internal conflict?
a John arguing with a rude, inconsiderate coworker.
b Tanya trying to decide if she should go to college out of state, or stay local.
c Michael, a young African-American man, struggling to find gainful employment in a society with widespread, systemic racism.
d Melissa and her mother constantly arguing over completing homework.

Respuesta :

Answer:

B. Tanya trying to decide if she should go to college out of state, or stay local.

Explanation:

Tanya's situation is an example of an internal conflict because the conflict only directly involves herself, her opinions, and her priorities.

The other 3 situations are not examples of internal conflicts because they involve a conflict with another person.

The coworker, society, and Melissa's mother are involved in the conflict, so they are not internal conflicts.

So, B is the right answer.

Answer: B. Tanya trying to decide if she should go to college out of state, or stay local.


Explanation:
Internal conflict is the self-constructed mental struggle caused by ones own needs and motivations. All the other choices are external conflicts because they are outside forces opposing against the person. Tanya is facing a mental struggle cause by her own motivation and needs.
