Problem
Imagine that you are a Major World Religions instructor who is also passionate about your own personal religious beliefs and practices. A classroom discussion breaks out in which one of your students begins to make derogatory comments about your religion. The discussion escalates into an argument between you and the student, and the entire class feels uncomfortable. Suggest a more professional way you could have handled the situation. Recommend two strategies that you can use in the future when your emotions are similarly triggered.
