The "talking heads" cartoon set

Activity
People who fish have many different attitudes. For example, Maori people traditionally do not clean fish on the beach, but Pakeha fishers may do so; recreational fishers and commercial fishers may blame each other for overfishing; a new immigrant may upset local residents by taking shellfish that aren't usually eaten in New Zealand.

Initially some attitudes seem far apart, but once you have looked at why people feel and behave the way they do, you will perhaps come to the following conclusions:
If people communicate with each other, compromise is possible.
Conflict can be resolved peacefully.
Conservation is in everybody's interest and is everyone's responsibility.
Discuss the attitudes of some of the people who are involved with fishing.
Fill in the speech bubbles for each person. Working individually or in groups students can then work out what conflicts could arise between these people.
