Unluckily, when they are sailing on their way, the band is spotted by the Juno, who is the goddess. The goddess hates the Prince with passion. This is simply because of the old resentment. They are destined towards becoming Romans who shall ravage Carthage-the most favorite city of Juno.

Biblical Foundation of Conflict Management Professor’s Notes: Conflict. Most of us deal with conflict on a daily basis. Whether it’s navigating a tense situation with a child or spouse, dealing with a tough boss or colleague, or even managing our emotions after we’ve been cut off on a highway, all of us need strategies to deal with the dailyness of life.
