The Conflict was one of such a trivial matter, Yet in the moment the outcome was trivial do I buy orville redenbacher's original movie theatre popcorn? you know the one in the red box, or do I go with the healthy reduced fat 150 calorie per box version of the same product in the green box? The conflict that I faced was not one between two people rather it lay within my soul between myself and my choice of popcorn flavor. In life we all come face to face with these internal conflicts, Many times we play these off as stupid little things that have no impact on our lives, however that is essentially the reason that I would like to dive into something that on the outside may be so trivial one would think jesus just grab the first one and get …show more content…
Self Destructive side, he will still be getting the brand orville redenbacher however it will be better for us as a whole as it is 94 % fat free he will be getting more bags for a more expensive price but higher quality food and will allow all three of us to work together in unity as well as yet to get what we would like as the outcome.” And with that argument the decision was made my hand immediately shifted from red to green and I was on my way to the checkout aisle. The argument hit on all of the areas of conflict it played to the Incompatible goals as the Self destructor wanted the immediate gratification where the habitual side wanted a healthy snack on the same lines. It also played into the Scarce resource where the self destroyer brought up the price, however the habitual side brought up the fact of quality over money. The Metaphor I would give to this conflict was a balancing act, one in which the self destructive side was the wire and the habitual side was the , “Man on wire.” The wire swayed one direction and the man had to counter with his body and that extremely long pole to find a happy medium and not fall into a popcorn induced free fall. The, “Man On Wire” balanced perfectly and the successful outcome was achieved all
HENRI and a group of friends are talking excitedly while waiting in line to enter a movie theater.
The way someone manages a difference can make conflict turn into a sphere of harm or a sphere of value. The sphere of harm is when differences are managed in destructive and damaging ways. Littlejohn states (2014) states, “Conflicts are managed so badly that damage is done to people, relationships, and, indeed, entire social worlds” (p. 188). If a party were to react to an indifference by using physical or verbal violence the conflict would move into the sphere of harm. On the other hand, the sphere of value is when differences are significant, but not controversial. Instead, parties value the difference, appreciate it and view it as a positive asset. The goal of conflict is to move from the sphere of harm to the sphere of

Yet I do agree with him that the companies marketing strategies should change. The junk food industry is targeting certain people to buy their products. For example, Moss spoke to Bob Drane inventor of the Lunchables on how they started adding sugar to the packaging by including Kool-Aid, cookies and other extras when customers started to get bored with the plain packages. Moreover, they started targeting younger kids. When the company shift focus to the kids the ads started showing up in the Sunday morning cartoons which announced: “All day, you gotta do what they say, but lunchtime is all yours.” ()In their ads they generate a feeling of empowerment to kids who now want to eat Lunchables as an act of independence. They don’t make it about what is inside, but they form it into a psychological aspect. Another example would be, when Coca-Cola started marketing to places that are poverty-stricken in Brazil by making the bottles smaller and more affordable so they would buy them. However, Coca-Cola isn’t the only one targeting Brazil, Nestle also started sending a massive amount of women to roam the poor neighborhoods to sell American- style processed foods door-to-door. When Dunn saw this he felt remorse and tried to push the company to a more positive road by stopping the marketing of Coke to schools, but shortly after he was fired due to the backlash the company received. The companies should market their products to groups that are less
Conflict is something that entertains many, this is the reason why people watch reality shows, eavesdrop and gossip; to keep ourselves entertained. In spite of the conflict being entertaining it also has dire consequences on those who are involved. Lord of the Flies is a perfect example of the conflict that happens in our everyday lives and how this can mold us into who we are in the future. In Lord of the Flies by William Golding Jack faces inner conflict over choosing to embrace his instincts to be civil over his instincts to be savage. Jack is seen to struggle over two major inner conflicts about hunting and leading the group of boys.

Have you ever wondered if you should’ve responded to conflict differently? Perhaps you responded the wrong way. Responding to conflict with a positive attitude is the best way to react. It keeps you calm, and it gives you hope to resolve the conflict and move past it. You’ll see these things in Anne Frank The Diary of a Young Girl, this girl had to stay in hiding for a while to stay safe, and she remained positive and talked to her book as if it were almost any other day.

These Japanese-Americans had to live in some really bad conditions, and even though they weren’t happy about it, they stayed as positive as they could. They use a positive response to their problems
Conflicts arise when people’s interest, values, actions, views or expectation come into contact and there is a difference of opinion and thus a disagreement (Conerly, 2004). The way people view the conflict will determine whether the resolution will negative or positive consequences.

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...
I believe that is why I try my best to limit conflict in my life in general, although there is no way to eliminate it fully. In fact, after taking the Adult Personal Conflict Style Inventory, I was not surprised by my results at all. They showed that I am more likely to use accommodating and compromising styles and less likely to use s competing style when faced with a conflict. That is not to say I am perfect and never experience conflict, but I am more likely to use these styles to diffuse the situation as quickly as possible. After identifying and defining these styles, it was easy to draw connections between these terms used by scholars, and my own personal experiences when I have been faced with conflict.
