| LECTURE OVERVIEW It never fails, young men will agree that they should listen and follow their intuition over their pride and what others think about them. However, when a young man is actually in a conflicting situation, their intuition is telling them to run, but their friends, society or their community says, "If you want to be a part of us you have to fight". They end up fighting and this is how we lose young men to violence. Andre Salvage was raised in the streets of South Los Angeles so he knows how important it is for young men to learn the skill of walking away, without looking like a fool. This delicate dance and balance is essential for young men, regardless of their social or economic standing. LECTURE AND DISCUSSION OUTLINE Trusting your intuition
