The three stories that I am going to talk about are “A story of conflicts” by Yeghia Aslanian, “Mother Tongue” by Amy Tan and “My way of theirs” by Liu Zongren. We can see how difficult is to made relationships when you move from one place to another and the culture is different. In the story of Zongren I see that people in China were so conservative at that time, and if sometime was unusual people will look at you and weird way. I want to mention this quote as example “her blouse was too open at the neck”. People in general have different thoughts, and custom around the world. Nowadays everything is more liberal and open mind. Also the people do not look at you in bad way for the way that you are wearing you can go out how you want it, wear whatever you want, etc. Is hard to live in a place that you have to take care of everything and do the things how people thing that are correct, because if you don’t, people will start talking about you and then you can get bad reputation.

My highest management style score was set A, collaboration. For the most part, this result did not surprise me. I tend to be the type of person that is willing to work together and come to a resolution. I am not, however the type of person that will let my thoughts and judgements get left behind. I feel it is important to keep my principals while letting the other person respectfully know my opinion. I know this is true for me because I am willing to work out any issues positive or negative. I will say the only thing that is surprising about this result for me is I feel it is stating I think am always right. I am not the kind of person with the attitude that I am always right. I am the person that is willing to compromise to come to a common solution.

1) Compare and Contrast the order and conflict models of social systems. The two models of society that are the basic relationship of society is order and conflict. The order model that is also known as functionalism, attributes to societies with the characteristics of cohesion, consensus, cooperation, reciprocity, stability, and persistence. Basically the parts of the system are in harmony with each other, and if something intrudes this order, the parts will create a new stable order.

Conflict is a fact of life - for individuals, organizations, and societies. The costs of conflict are well-documented - high turnover, grievances and lawsuits, absenteeism, divorce, dysfunctional families, prejudice, fear. What many people don't realize is that well-managed conflict can actually be a force for positive change.

The second conflict problem is that the senior members on the new team have been sloughing off the paper work and giving it to the new guys. At first it was not an issue because we could keep up with the workload, but now we are starting to fall behind on top of all these calls. Now the problem is the sergeant is coming down on us because we can not keep up with the workload, and he is suggesting we should do over time without pay to catch up.

My second-best score of 15 out of 18. I am an excellent team-mate, if I may say so myself. My

I defiantly have a high concern for others and their feelings. That’s not to say I don’t have the same high concern for myself but I’m more selfless than selfish in term of someone’s feelings or desires within a relationship. I’m a people pleaser and the person I’m linked to in an interpersonal relationship will most likely come first. Of Thomas & Kilmann’s conflict management styles I’m in the middle of accommodating and compromise because although I’d like to please others in my relationships, I also realize that my needs, idea, and desires are just as important. My conflict management style in my interpersonal relationship is consistent and I remain the same with each partner (which could be my downfall in relationships). I would like to

How often do you have a conflict (disagreement )? (for example: with your team members).

Every company, including police agencies can have conflicts that need to be addressed by the leaders of the organization. A number of conflicts begin as something very miniscule and grow over time to destroy the motivation and confidence of a law enforcement agency before it is even able to be addressed. Some conflicts are not even made aware to the leadership positions until it has grown out of control and has the employees worked up, and demanding to what is happening. Several leaders have fears regarding conflict, rather than seeing it as a potential way to create changes to a policy that is not working in the current environment. Managing conflict is an element of being a strong leader in an organization and helps inspire the employees to be more productive and engaged in their jobs. As a leader, they have to be engaged in all aspects of their organization and at a minimum, have basic conflict management skills. Once the organization puts together individuals with values, needs, and interests that are the same or truly completely different, an issue can and most likely will arise due to basic human nature. A strong management team then must be able to work together and fix the problem while not losing anything in production.

After learn more information about the negotiation and conflict resolve during in the classes, I have a new understanding of resolve the conflict. When I think back of the conflict between my boyfriend and I, I think there was so wrong with the way I handled the conflict in that time. For my boyfriend he might felt innocent and grievance, he maybe just wants to let me claim down first and then talk about the problem between us. My motivational value systems are analytic-autotomizing but he is more like cautious-supporting. Few weeks after, I realized there have thousand ways to solve the conflict between us but I choose the most extreme way and end of our relationship.

Conflict theory is the theory that human behavior in social contexts is the result of conflicts between competing groups, as different social groups, be they class-, gender- or race-defined, have unequal power and access to power, yet all groups compete for limited resources. This inevitably gives rise to tension and conflict, albeit often of the subtle variety, as oftentimes the conflicts between groups have been institutionalized in society to such a degree that the conflicts and tensions are such an expected part of society that the conflict, and inequality, itself disappears from public sight, and consciousness. For example, an adherent of a world systems theory of conflict would point to the global competition for resources, particularly the inequality between rich and poor nations struggling to provide the basic necessities of life to their inhabitants, as evidence of global conflict. Conflict theories seek to explain the interactions of groups within society, and assert that social order is preserved involuntarily through the exercise of power one social class holds over another (Lindsey, 2010, 7). The conflict between groups is not always obvious or apparent, so it must be unraveled and examined in order to identify and establish the impact of such conflict on society as a whole, as well as individual members and social groupings.

By definition a conflict is a disagreement between people or teams due to different opinions or perspective (Cambridge Dictionaries). It is the result of misunderstandings or a lack of communication. Conflict is something we have to deal with on a daily basis. Unfortunately, conflict is an inevitable part of human relationships. Conflicts can happen at anytime or anywhere at work with co-workers, at home with our families or friends, for instance. I am aware that in some point I will have to handle a conflict and even more when I will be manager. In fact, manager must be able to identify, understand the source of the conflict, and resolve any kind of conflict ocurring within the team that he manages. Because each individual have strenghts and weaknesses, teamworks can sometimes trigger sparks and create conflicts. It is natural to have discrepencies within a team. Thus, The risk of conflict are many. This is the reason why the manager have to face differences without getting into the emotional process and without losing sight of the objectives and priorities of the team.
