Introduction In this assignment I will be talking about how I address conflict in my life whether it be in class or on the streets. As we know conflict is inevitable to face we can expect more conflict as we become closer to people and more reliant to those who deal with people within positions like colleagues, clients and personal relationships. My attitude towards conflict in the beginning of the semester was pretty average I would say in regards to being a second year student in police foundations. I remember thinking in the beginning of the semester that conflict was just going to be about how people address different conflicts and how it was just between one person and another. Now as of today my knowledge of conflict today is better because …show more content…
Behavior wise it helps me understand how to act and engage each situation differently on how each person disagrees between different parties to expand as the underlying difference or risk starts to grow, more individuals get to be distinctly included and all people favor one side. The rise may be fast, or conflict set may set aside for a few minutes. In this early stage, conflict is not promptly obvious, but rather the strain between groups is detectable, and they frequently attempt to maintain a strategic distance from contact with each other (Griffin,2017). Taking action would be another one because based of my knowledge and behavior, included groups of people start to ask inquiries regarding the circumstances. They need to think every last one of point of interest choose who is right and wrong. Every side begins will accumulate backing Also support for its position. And Connections get extremely strained and there is a self-evident polarization between the sides(Griffin,2017). Confrontation would be another one because based of my knowledge and behavior confrontation is the pinnacle of the contention and the strain, battling and brutality is the most extreme. This conduct could be evident obstruction, or more aberrant interruption, for example, conniving and bits of gossip (Griffin,2017). Resolution would be another one because based of my knowledge and behavior Each conflict must have a resolution through some type of compromise or some type of win over an individual with another. Bargain is generally the best circumstance. Each person picks up and loses a bit, however they are compelled to cooperate to achieve a settlement. New ways to deal with struggle determination can come about because of overseeing them decently and straightforwardly. Some of the time the two gatherings can't resolve the circumstance and an outsider/a third person between is
Chapter two elaborate on style of conflict, worldview of conflict, negative view, positive of conflict, lens model of conflict, and description of conflict. Chapter encourage me to think about conflict in my life, and the chapter introduce lend model of conflict. The lens model of conflict has benefits in perspective and analysis the conflict. The perspective within conflict would help to understand both side of the conflict. Analysis the conflict would help come to resolution, compromise, or agreement. Also, conflict was seen different with everyone. Even culture has influence on conflict. Overall, I believe that patience would be most helpful in managing conflict.
As much as some of us dislike conflict, it is inherent in human nature. After all, it is like a wall that keeps us from moving forward in the path of life, but we must understand that those walls merely act as temporary challenges that are yet to be solved. Some conflicts may be insignificantly trivial, and some may be quite immense. Some conflicts may be happening within ourselves, and some may be accompanied by another person. Regardless, we must learn not to run away from conflict, but rather to run over them with a determined demeanor as the conflicts that we encounter in our lives are what helps us learn and grow as an individual. Furthermore, learning and growing from conflict is what shape individuals and what prepares us for the upcoming challenges that life will throw at us in the future.
The purpose of this paper is to explore conflict and ways to manage it. I chose to explore this topic in depth because conflict touches all of our lives. Whether it is at work or in our personal lives. Like most people when you have a bad day at work; I have a tendency to bring the frustration home. Frustration at work causes me to be in a bad mood; hence that makes me argue with my spouse.
Four sources of conflict presented by Lamberton & Minor (2014) are content, values, negotiation-of-selves and institutionalized will be discussed. Awareness of and knowing what causes conflict is important in strategizing ideas and plans to resolve them. Explanations and examples of these four sources will follow. The outcome and process of resolving conflict can affect what direction and success we achieve personally and
Conerly (2004), further states two things attribute to the way conflict is managed. One is the importance of meeting your own goals and the other is the importance you attribute to relationships and wanting to get along with others.
Conflicts situation can happen at any time. There are many different ways to handle conflict situations. To strengthen our skills in responding to conflicts situation we must understand the various conflict management style. The five styles of conflict management style include: Competing, Avoiding, Accommodating, Collaborating, and Compromising. The competing style is like a shark, a competitive approach to ensure only your views counts. Avoiding is like a turtle, avoiding every situation and giving up. Accommodating is like a teddy bear, working against your own goals to move forward. Collaborating is like an owl, working together with your partner to achieve both your goals. Compromising is like a fox, negotiating half your goals in order
3. What are some skills you can work on to become more effective at handling conflict? Describe and explain.
Conflict is more than just an argument that manifest itself through yelling and behavior it is a perception that there is something wrong and needs to be fixed or explained. There are many different paths that conflict can take and it all depends on the person and situation. The following is an analysis of a conflict in my own life and how it came to be, the different perceptions involved, and the path we choose to take as the conflict went on.
We all go thru different phases and life changes in our lives creating more needs and solutions to our problems. Many of us handle conflict negatively and think conflict is bad. Therefore, the best way to resolve conflict is learning how to handle things in a better way. This means understanding the person and understanding what has created the conflict and miscommunication. The book, “Difficult Conversations,” helps us learn different perspectives and needs to our conflicts and learning how to resolve conflict and what has created people to have different standards in their personal culture.
Before understanding how to deal with conflict, one must understand what conflict is. Conflict can be defined as, “any situation in which incompatible goals, cognitions, or emotions within or between individuals or groups lead to opposition or antagonistic interaction” (Learning Team Toolkit, 2004, pp 242-243). Does the idea of conflict always have to carry a negative connotation? The growth and development of society would be a great deal slower if people never challenged each other’s ideas. The Learning Team Toolkit discusses three different views of conflict: traditiona...
Many people enjoy working or participating in a group or team, but when a group of people work together chances are that conflicts will occur. Hazleton describes conflict as the discrepancy between what is the perceived reality and what is seen as ideal (2007). “We enter into conflicts reluctantly, cautiously, angrily, nervously, confidently- and emerge from them battered, exhausted, sad, satisfied, triumphant. And still many of us underestimate or overlook the merits of conflict- the opportunity conflict offers every time it occurs” (Schilling, nd.). Conflict does not have to lead to a hostile environment or to broken relationships. Conflict if resolved effectively can lead to a positive experience for everyone involved. First, there must be an understanding of the reasons why conflicts occur. The conflict must be approached with an open mind. Using specific strategies can lead to a successful resolution for all parties involved. The Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument states “there are five general approaches to dealing with conflict. The five approaches are avoidance, accommodation, competition, compromise, and collaboration. Conflict resolution is situational and no one approach provides the best or right approach for all circumstances” (Thomas, 2000).
Negotiating – this involves both parties bargaining on a solution, There will be gains and losses similar to the compromising strategy. Although both parties come to a general agreement, a consensus is not the ultimate goal. Negotiating is used when both parties are invested in the conflict and the choice to resort back to conflict is not an option. Advantages – Negotiating can be used for any type of conflict Disadvantages – when an agreement is negotiated it is permanent Confronting – this strategy takes action to halt the conflict at the very first sign of it. Advantages – does not allow the conflict process to occur Disadvantages – confronting may lead to future conflict as the conflict is perceived to be unacceptable.
We each possess unique ideas, opinions, beliefs, and feelings about specific situations in life. This uniqueness is a large part of what makes us human. Because we all have our own individual way of looking at things, we each have a different viewpoint on what is proper or improper. With all that variation in society conflict is inevitable! Conflict is antagonistic in nature and we all must find ways to work through conflict issues both at work and at home. This paper describes different types of conflict, the influences I personally had in learning to deal with those conflicts, some of the conflicts that I commonly experience, how I go about dealing with those conflicts, and how conflict affects me on a personal level.
Conflict is unavoidable and connected to a world where different ideas and opinions are challenged. Negative conflict occurs when voices are not expressed appropriately, discussions are not in control or different parties reject moving forward with a solution. There is difficulty resolving disagreements because there are multiple reactions to disputes. However, a positive conflict supports debates without a destructive outcome. They improve communication, introduce principles that are important to others, and reduce chaos. On the other hand, the approach that a person uses to address conflict dictates the outcome they receive. Methods for resolving conflict include avoiding the problem, smoothing out a situation, competing against the ideas
... understand the other side’s point of view. All parties are able to identify areas of agreement and disagreement, creatively explore and evaluate alternatives, and select solutions to which they are all committed. Though collaborating is the only win-win approach preferred to resolving conflicts in many situations, there is time and place for the other styles as they may better meet the needs of the situation.
