Maya has recently joined 'The Riverside Players' amateur drama society. Her cousin Chloe belongs to a rival group called 'The Valley Theatre Group'. Both groups are preparing for the upcoming Regional Drama Festival, where only one group can win the single prestigious 'Best Production' trophy and funding grant.
Maya has started posting highly critical and mocking remarks about Chloe’s theatre group on local community forums. Chloe retaliated by spreading rumours at their local community centre that Maya's acting is terrible and that 'The Riverside Players' do not deserve to be on stage.
Using realistic conflict theory, describe the behaviour of Maya and Chloe.
