Substance Abuse Role play
Here is the video of the skit that me, Stefan and Cleon did for our substance abuse role play:
Questions:
- What are the influences involved in your role play?
The pressures in our role play were me and Stefan that tried to pressure Cleon into making a decision really quickly. It is best if you can act fast because if you are hesitant it will just become harder to get out of a scenario like this.
- Write a script for your role play: Loading...
- Explain how your conflict/issue was resolved. What skills were used to resolve this conflict?
There are three ways that we learned on how to get out of this conflict. They are negotiation, delay and refusal. My favorite one would be the negotiation because you are standing up for yourself and are not being rude to the other person. Although, all of them work and if someone is offering you cigarettes like me and Stefan were to Cleon, the best approach would be refusal because then your friends know not to offer you the same thing again.
- How would using these skills make the person in the role play more resilient?
It would make them more resilient because it would make the person a lot harder to influence to bad stuff if they know how to talk their way out of it. For example, if someone is pressured to take drugs, they can use their communication skills to get out of the scenario because they know how to properly use the delay, refusal and negotiation tactics.
