Conflict Is A Prominent Theme

Whether we like it or not, conflict is a part of everyday lives. It can happen to anyone, from your friends to your family.

A conflict can be described as an interpersonal disagreement between two or more parties having a difference in opinion, controversy, negative understanding or insufficient communication (McKibben, 2017). Within the healthcare arena, conflict cannot be avoided. It can have the ability to have a negative impact on the function of the team and result in inadequate patient care. When poor patient care is provided, the integrity of the nurse, the nursing profession, and healthcare as a whole is endangered (McKibben, 2017). As a result, conflict management is the process of recognizing and dealing with conflict in a realistic, fair, and competent fashion. Productive communication, problem solving, and discussing with a focus on the issues are required skills needed for conflict management (Saeed, Almas, Anis-ul-Haq, & Niazi, 2014).

Conflict has been an issue for man since the dawn of civilization. In today’s fast paced world conflict, especially in the workplace, is a frequent occurrence. When that workplace is a health care environment where lives are at stake, emotions run high and collaboration with many different disciplines is required conflict often becomes a prevalent part of everyday life. Conflicts in the workplace can lead to reduced morale, lowered productivity resulting in decreased patient care and can cause large scale confrontations (Whitworth 2008). In the field of nursing whether a conflict is with a peer, supervisor, physician, or a patient and their family, conflict management is a necessary skill.

Conflict means different opinion to different people. In some reason, conflict can cause fighting, war or trade embargos. But for other people it might be a different in opinion, perspective or personality. Others may think they are in a conflict situation, when the other side may feel that they are just discussing opposing views. His situation depends on our effects can result in damaging our relationship. As a charge nurse, we have to be aware how this issue arises and how to overcome and manage this conflict.

On a crisp autumn day in 2016, while hidden away from the cares of my daily routine in my family room, I was called upon to elaborate on an important aspect of my life. It took some time for consideration to determine how to best portray a journey I have taken in managing conflict, as I am not a young woman. Decades filled with the blessings of being the mother of disabled children, years lived as a single parent, as well as the process of maturation, tempered by the fires of adversity, have molded me into who I am today. As I reflected, I wondered if would I know how to deal with conflict as I do now without the life experiences I have had? Certainly not! The following paragraphs will describe my primary conflict style and why I use it, how I have changed constructively in this area, how the other four styles of conflict management may serve me, and where I hope to arrive as I continue to make my way along the journey of my life.

The short story, “Two Kinds” by Amy Tan, portrays a conflict between a Chinese mother and daughter. Jing-Mei mother, Suyuan, comes to America after losing everything in China. When she came to America, this is where all her hoped lays. She believes that anything is possible and that America is the land of opportunity. Because of this, she has high hopes for Jing-Mei becoming a successful child prodigy. So, Suyuan tries everything she can to find Mei’s talent. First, she tries to make her daughter into a Chinese Shirley Temple, but doesn’t work. Then she tries intellectual tests that were from known magazines, but that doesn’t work either. Finally, Suyuan decides that Mei would be a pianist. Suyuan gathered up her money to buy Mei a piano and

Conflict will always exist when a group or team is composed with different people with different approaches and ideas. Conflict cannot be avoided and in inevitable. As nurses, it is imperative that we have conflict resolution skills to deal with our day to day encounters (Yoder-Wise,2015).

John F. Kennedy once said that “Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind”. Since the beginning of humanity many disputes have occurred, some dating back as early as The Roman Empire and ancient Chinese Dynasties. As long as humans live and develop different customs, there will most definitely be conflict.

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

Conflict is when 2 parties start fighting, or arguing. I believe that conflict is inevitable. I feel that conflict is inevitable because of people not having the same thoughts and ideas, people not liking a certain person, or simply disagreeing.

As nurses, it is imperative that we have skills to deal with conflict we encounter throughout the day. Some conflicts are easily handled with simple solutions; other disagreements can persist for weeks or even months and never be handled in a proper way to resolve the situation. The later kind of situation can create resentment, anger, and animosity between employees or colleagues. In this paper I will describe a conflict situation with resolution strategies used by the confronter, discuss other ways to resolve the conflict, and discuss the conflict theory most beneficial to use with a diverse group of people.

Throughout this class, the main goal was to analyze these texts as though we were scholars, and to make connections and identify common themes amongst them. By doing so, we were supposed to be able to more deeply understand each text and the argument each was making. Throughout the readings, the most prominent themes were that of struggle and division, though it is certainly more prevalent and obvious in certain texts than others. Though all the texts depict division and struggle, they focus on different societal divisions

Conflicts are more common than not in this day and age. You can have a conflict in a work or school environment over anything. In order to fix most conflicts there has to be an open communication. Lack of communication can cause more problems than fix them.

One of the conflict I was directly involved in, was between my families. There is usually this meeting that my dad does every months and he calls it “peace talk”. Which I absolutely don’t think it is a peace talk at all. Since I am in a very big family, it have been hard for my parents to take care of all of us. Due to lack of Education, my parents cannot be able to get good jobs like other parents in Canada. Therefore, every time we do this family, it always lead to topic of Education. One thing I don’t like about it was that he always refer it to my sister that she screwed up her life; because she had a kid when she was 19 years of age. Therefore, he think she won’t be able to get back in school. Also one thing
