The teachers have lost all hope about making a difference to the situation and are busy with their personal activities.

An analogy might be made to the situation of elephants in Africa.

The three women, sitting side by side, made their mutual adjustments to the situation.

But she knew all her bristling wouldn't make the slightest difference to the present situation.

"I don't suppose it makes any difference to the present situation."

It didn't seem inclined to make a contribution to the situation.

The subject feels like the only way for them to make right to the situation is to keep acting out.

The movie also made many references to the political situation in Europe.

Reference has already been made to the situation in the Middle East, and it will be further discussed tomorrow.

I hope that these measures will indeed enable us to make the necessary improvements to the situation.
