Negotiation occurs on a regular basis in a daily life and individuals negotiate in business occasions or outside of the workplace. Having superior negotiation skills is conductive to the success in personal life and career development.

A person's thoughts transpire like a fork in the road ; people can help direct those thoughts through persuasion. Quality types of persuasion happen all around us, but there can also be a substandard type. The inspiring persuasion happens when someone trying to help another individual convinces them to do the right thing, but the other, inadequate persuasion, can lead to a poor choice that may cause regret later. In “The Most Dangerous Game,” Richard Connell uses persuasive language between the characters and shows their decisions throughout the short story.

Another example of this conflict is shown when Howard is defending himself in court. He describes how everyone in history who had an idea was always criticized. People didn’t like individuality, but eventually people came around to the ideas. He feels that

He said the essence of the conflict is that some people do not want to give up to get what you want. This effectively means that we are concerned with other people's losses, rather than our own interests. He believes that if we focus on the gain, we will find that it is a shared solution. If we do not have this goal, we just make sure to share the losses. Therefore, the best way to find the solution is not to look for a person's self-interest, but the other people involved. If you must first understand and respect, you will be how easy it is for you to achieve a favorable outcome, but also surprised. If all of them do so, the world will

Argumentative Essay: Resolving Conflict Melba Pattillo Beals from the book Warriors Don’t Cry and the fiction Animal Farm has the best way to respond to conflict. Some of them are, keeping strong and try not to show others they bother you, talk about it and be assertive, and stick up for yourself and find a solution. Have you ever wondered why there is still fighting in this world? Well, that’s because those people have not found a result to their conflict. “Please, God, let me learn how to stop being a warrior, sometimes I just need to be a girl” (Source #2).

We face conflicts in our everyday lives, and most people tend to shy away from it, because that’s just what we are designed to do, but you can’t do that in politics. In politics the only way to satisfy both sides of an argument is to work through the conflict until you reach a suitable compromise.

Another point of view is from the book Bargaining with the Devil, here BATNA is an alternative used as a point of reference (Mnookin 2010). The author said that you should never be willing to accept a negotiated deal that does not serve your interest better than your BATNA (p. 30). Unlike Ury’s books, here you can, or cannot know the other party’s BATNA, but you can have an idea of their next move. The author used the power of bargaining (better your BATNA, better the power) to decide whether to negotiate or to walk away from the negotiation if the deal doesn’t meet the minimum requirements for one of the parties.

An extravagant amount of people exist throughout the earth. In comparison, a myriad of different worlds exist to the population of the earth. People have their own thoughts and opinions about certain circumstances and situations. When people cannot compromise or comprehend another person’s thoughts or ideas, it could lead to a confliction. Many times the conflicts in the fictionalized literature world are the same conflicts people may face in real world.

P. Gregory Smith “ How to handle a conflict” Tells a story talks about college boy name Ramon and how he handled a conflict with his manager using assertiveness. Ever since Ramon mention to some of his co- workers that he had applied to the state university, Mr. Jefferson the night manager, started teasing and taunting him. Mr. Jefferson started calling him “ College boy” and giving him an unfair share of mopping time.

Ramon utilized the characteristics of assertiveness in communication. First of all, finding the right time and place . Ramon waited until

I believe that fundamentally, we can all agree that disagreements have become an inevitable aspect of human nature, which has lasted for millennia. From what I’ve observed, this stems from our ability to perceive things differently especially in how we define, value and categorize certain aspects of our lives. Although this is not a problem pertaining to simple matters but issues do arrive with more complex ideas and ideologies. In the Republic by Plato, Socrates asks his friends to define more complex matters such as just and courage in their own words. There we see a distinction between what is knowledge and what is our beliefs which occur as two different spheres. Some believe that one sphere should be more highly valued than the other

Foremost, one can argue that the ultimate goal of every human being is to thrive and live in a free world where their activities are not controlled or even restricted by some form of authority. However, every person has interests and needs that would often differ from another person’s. This means that conflicts are bound to happen when each person wants to take a different path that would eventually lead to a satisfaction of their endeavors.
