Blood, Toil, Tears And Sweat By Winston Churchill

One reason why having a positive attitude is the best way to respond to respond to conflict is because it relives stress from the situation. Dear Mrs. breed is a book of different exerts from kids that were in the Japanese internment camps. The kid show a lot of positivity in there letters. In spite of all the difficulties in the camps, Louis a girl who was in the camp positivity and patriotic spirit rings true in the final words of her letter.''if american soldiers endure so can we!''. she is stating that conditions are worst for soldiers they don't complain about there suffering. Her conditions aren't as bad so she has to be grateful and that's why shes so positive. Her positive attitude has a big impact on her as she takes in the view of the camp instead of worrying that shes in the middle of nowhere.

Research shows that positive thoughts can help you to build skills and make a real value in your life, while negative thoughts narrow your mind and you only focus on negative emotions. (Clear, How Positive Thinking Builds Your Skills, Boosts Your Health, and Improves Your Work, Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 13) But what would be the best response to conflict, a negative attitude or a positive attitude? We can look at people such as Louise Ogawa who was in Japanese internment camps in the United States also during World War II who both had a positive response to conflict. Anne Frank who was in the concentration camps in Germany during World War II is another great example of a positive response to conflict. After reading about these people and

Conflict is one of many challenges in everyday life. It is presented to us in many ways such as trying to figure out how to get your homework done on time, finding a way to win the football game, or something just as simple as trying to get out of doing your chores. However, there are times in everyone's life where your conflict is beyond the norm. These could include standing up to your school bully, trying to save someone’s life, or as many would say the greatest conflict in human history, the Nazis rise to power. There are many ways to solve a conflict in general no matter how morally wrong it is. However, history has shown time and time again that the best way to solve a conflict is to stand up to it while also

“A positive attitude brings strength, energy, motivation, and initiative” (Quotes Guru). Having a positive attitude is the best response to conflict, especially in the time of war. For example, in the stories Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl and Dear Miss Breed: True Stories of the Japanese American Incarceration During World War II and a Librarian Who Made a Difference, both Anne Frank and Miss Breed had a positive attitude for such a horrible situation. In the story Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl Anne tells us, the audience, how her family dealt with the situation that they were in. In Dear Miss Breed: True Stories of the Japanese American Incarceration During World War II and a Librarian Who Made a Difference showed what situations the Japanese Americans had to go through and how horrible their living habits were.

One approach to respond to conflict is shown in the thoughts and actions of Anne Frank. In the story, Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl, Anne’s solution to make the better of her situation was demonstrated. For instance, her diary entry, dated Saturday, July 11, 1942, describing her living space at the Secret Annex, noticed, “Up to now our bedroom, with its blank walls, was very bare [...] I was able to plaster the wall with pictures. It looks much more cheerful” (Frank 19). This represents a particular action in which Anne made to

Obstacles change our way of thought and affect our emotions. A person’s values change as well as their character and they develop an understanding on their situation. Through the hardships of any situation, there is some way or another a solution only in the presence of desire.


When confronted with conflict, it is often faced with difficult, or even threatening, situations. Often when humanity finds itself in conflict, coping with the struggle of interpersonal, cultural and racial, inner or moral conflict can bring either courage or cowardice out in people. This is made evident in Bruce Beresford’s “Paradise Road,” but also in real life situations.

In the article “Navigating Turbulent Waters” by Jimmy Liao the author talks about his belief that life’s obstacles do not need to be a hindrance. The author believes that changing the perspective of perceived difficulties can have a positive effect on the outcome. The author states “It’s the way I choose to define the events in my life – by my response to them” (Liao). The way a person looks at a difficult situation can help them persevere through it. The author goes on to talk about his belief that by not fighting the challenges in life the challenges can lead to success.

Thomas Paine once declared, “The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.” I understand exactly what Paine expresses here. People admire items in life if they are forced to strive to obtain them. If these items come to them too easily, they will not appreciate them as much. Consequently, when obstacles or conflicts arrive, people must learn to use their skills and resources to resolve them. One major conflict in my life began the first week of summer before my freshman year of high school.

One thing that is a part of every person’s life on every day of every week of every month of every year is conflict. Conflict is something that people, no matter how they strive, cannot escape from. Whether the conflict on a certain day is on a large scale or it is a miniscule bump in the road, it can be said that there will always be conflict. When people encounter conflict, the sole thing on their minds is to devise a way to be rid of it. The way that a person responds to whatever conflict they are faced with is what determines success or failure. If a person meets the conflict head on and with a positive attitude, then it is almost certain to end in success. If a person meets the conflict with a negative attitude and tries to avoid it, then

Learning about Life through Adversity Individuals who are successful in their respective endeavours, can attest to the inevitable adversity they had to encounter and as well as having to adapt as a consequence, in order to achieve respectable results in life. Adversity is an essential yet humbling component of life, it can have a profound effect on an individual’s lifestyle. One can draw positives from the unique challenges of adversity, it ultimately comes down to an individual having to adapt when facing an exceptional conflict. The film, “Life of Pi”, sheds an unsurmountable light on human nature, outlining how humans react when faced with great conflict. Humans have varying responses to a life threatening situation, there is a common denominator

From the moment Winston walks up the staircase and reads the sign on the wall stating “War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, [and] Ignorance is Strength” the stage has been set to display that humans do not have the capability to carry out their own existence without rules and directions from others (Orwell 4). In this case, the Party controls all beings. In believing in these types of ideals, change would never be possible. However, from what the main character and the author is trying to illustrate in the first chapter, even in the society that rules by the totalitarian political regime there will always be some members of the society that seek out the idea of free thinker like Winston. As for the question of the possibility that human nature can triumph over the Party, the possibility does exist when there is enough of a collective human race with courage to face them.
