Conflict in the workplace may not be discernible; as such, it may go undetected, be mismanaged, or yield unsuccessful resolutions. Episode 22 of season 2 of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, a series about an N.Y.P.D. squad, exemplifies this through the investigation of a high-profile homicide case by the nine-nine detectives. As the investigation opens, the detective team is called in, along with their Captain, Holt, to the office of Deputy Chief Madeline Wuntch. Due to its seriousness, Holt assumed that Wuntch would pass the case to a higher-level department; however, Wuntch extended the offer to use any N.Y.P.D. resources required to solve the case instead. Moreover, Holt remains suspicious of Wuntch’s intentions throughout the episode, which leads to his formal decision of joining his detectives on the case. Holt and Wuntch have engaged competitively throughout their N.Y.P.D. history, which the series reveals. Their …show more content…
Ultimately, Wuntch utilized the resolution of the case as grounds to promote Holt. The resulting increase in positive perception of her abilities to mentor and manage her N.Y.P.D. staff is a win for Wuntch, but a loss for Holt. Holt’s position as Captain represented an escape from a former resented desk job to a more fulfilling field position. Unfortunately, his promotion from Wuntch required him to return to a desk job, something she knew he did not want to further pursue. Evidently, this is an unsuccessful resolution; Wuntch imposed her will on Holt by acting outside of his interests to benefit her own. Since her intentions involved continual torment of Holt over her higher rank in the force and caused him stress due to her continual authoritative command over him, this was an unsuccessful resolution to the conflict. More appropriately, an alternative strategy such as compromising may have satisfied the conflict, while benefitting both

H.G. Bissinger tells the story of the obsessive town of Odessa, Texas in his book, Friday Night Lights. This town has a toxic obsession with high school football and wastes away the week, only seeking the excitement of Friday nights that are filled with Panther football. The expectations held for the athletes of Odessa are suicidal and the preparation for life outside of high school is almost non existent. The town of Mount Vernon, Iowa also lives for Friday nights, however it has a healthy balance between the thrilling football nights and ordinary, day to day life. Mount Vernon athletes are held to reasonable standards and are thoroughly being prepared for a successful future. The town of Odessa is an insane town with twisted ideas that
Now this is a story all about how my life got flipped, turned upside down, and I’d like to take a minute, just sit right there, I’ll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-air. These are the opening lines to the intro song of the television comedy “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”, that me and every 90’s kids with a TV has had memorized since the day we first heard it. Even as you read that first sentence, you can’t help but to rap the words, and hum the tune as you envision a young Will Smith spinning on his royal chair with the graffiti background. The effect of the lyrics and the music video to this intro song goes way beyond pure entertainment value. The music video and lyrics spread happiness,
The problem in this case is that KCDE-TV employees have the strong feeling of inequity.
Sustaining the ambitions of not only themselves but the alumni and town of Odessa, Texas is a lot to ask from a young adult. That’s exactly what Permian football provides to the people of Odessa, where the post economic boom of the oil business has left the town in a racially tense, economic crisis. The lights on Permian High School’s football field are the only sanctuary for the west Texas town. Socially and racially divided, Odessa’s mass dependence on high school football constructs glorified expectations for the football team to temporarily disguise the disappointments that come with living in a town tagged as the “murder capital” of
From the early stages of the novel, it is apparent that McMurphy will be a consistent thorn to Ratched’s side. “‘that is exactly what the new patient is planning: to take over. he is what we call a ‘manipulator,’ Miss Flinn, a man who will use everyone and everything to his own ends’” (Kesey 27). In this scene, the Nurse displays a concern for McMurphy’s assertive behavior and believes that he is here to gain control of the men of the ward. Nurse Ratched is certainly very distraught at McMurphy’s entrance and his dominating stance seen throughout the ward by both the faculty and the patients. The Nurse is aware that it is possible for McMurphy to gain influence, admiration and control over the other patients of the ward, which would lead towards McMurphy gaining enough power to threaten Ratched. It is strongly suggested that the Nurse is unused to one patient trying to assume control over the others, causing her to become somewhat doubtful of her power and opening up areas that could be attacked. For example, McMurphy is able to perform a task so unusual when he leads the men to watch a blank television screen, causing the Nurse to lose her temper and stability. “‘You’re committed, you realize. You are . . . under the jurisdiction of me . . . the staff.’ She’s holding up a fist, all those red-orange fingernails burning into her palm. ‘Under jurisdiction and control―” (Kesey 144). When
Despite the lack of athletic prowess gifted the Slack Jaw Punks writing staff, even the most nerdy among us (Iron Squid by a mile) can not deny the joy of watching a good sports film. Also we can't deny the appreciation and longing we have to be one of the guys. On the team, ya know. I think every nerd wants to that. The D&D crew just doesn't cut it. While I did play golf in high school (somewhere between Caddyshack and Happy Gilmore), and hung out with mostly jocks (geeks are be popular too) I can't really relate to the bond built during practices, road trips, victories and defeats or group showers. (The last one I could do with out) Despite, that I can and do enjoy films about those special relationships. While Undrafted, probably won't be mentioned in conversation the same way Slapshot, Major League, or Friday Night Lights are. It's still a really nice little

None of the complaints, which include the color of his car to the way he parks his car to what time he starts and leaves work, are particularly serious, and all of the charges were easily explained by Mr. Pitesti. Most of the charges are indicative of petty interoffice jealousies, and would seem to reflect more negatively on the person or group of people who are doing the complaining than on Romano Pitesti himself.
