ABSTRACT
Consider the following role-play scenario. A group of students who are studying to be adult educators, are exploring issues raised by a newspaper article. It concerns local Sydney residents whose suburb is being gentrified and developed for 'yuppie' clients. The changes brought about by the influx of new residents and the new culture they bring with them alienates the local, long-term residents. The group is interested in
exploring issues to do with conflict brought about by difference and the newspaper article provides a stimulus for this debate.
