Crisis, Conflict And Change

Conflict is defined as “a disagreement between people, groups, etc.” in the Merriam Webster Dictionary, but there is more to it than just the definition by book. It plays a big role in our lives and can contribute to personal change and growth. In To Kill A Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, it shows how conflict can not only change one person but contribute to the growth of an entire town. In the deep south, there were many factors that could have made a difference in how the conflicts played out that stood out, but some of their impacts were more significant than others. In To Kill A Mockingbird, impact of history, race relationships, and loyalty are the most influential factors in the development of conflict.

Bard and Ellison, 1974 cited in Maclean et al., (2015:211) states that crisis is known as “a subjective reaction to a stressful life experience, one so affecting the stability of the individual that the ability to cope or function may be seriously compromised.” The research outlined that there are three stages of crisis, such as the beginning, middle, and end, Golan 1974; Coulshed and Orme, 1998. Golan, 1974 cited in Maclean et al., 2015:212, illustrated that at the beginning stage of crisis, it is important for a social worker to understand the emotional responses shown by the service users and that the values they bring can impact the relationship with service users. In the second stage, social workers must have a structural approach in place for service users to make a plan to respond to the crisis. In the final stage, social workers must recede in service user intervention. At this stage service user must be able to manage their own crisis with no form of intervention from a worker, even though their emotional responses may still be strongly felt.

NOTE: If the mission of your organization is emergency response, conducting your routine mission is not a crisis. A crisis is a situation in which you cannot conduct your routine mission. In other words, if the fire department responds to a fire, that may be a crisis to the customer, but not to the

There are several definitions of individual crisis which all includes some kind of altering event or events. Depending on that event, a person can react in several different manners. Crisis also has serval characteristics which aid in the definition of crisis. Along with several definitions and characteristics there are theories for crisis and crisis intervention. Researchers created crisis and crisis intervention theories to exam components of the behavioral or emotional response to crisis and the possible prevention.

In the words of Stephen Moyer, “Conflict is drama, and how people deal with conflict shows you the kind of people they are.” People face many conflicts every day, many different conflicts. Correspondingly, conflict changes the people it affects. Additionally, conflict shapes and molds people into different versions of themselves. Life is filled with conflicts such as; deciding what youth group to go to, being bullied, and indecisiveness.

Conflict can be described as a process that begins when an individual perceives that another person is about to or has negatively affected something that is important to him/her. Therefore, the conflict process consists of various stages with the first one being the existence of situations that create enable conflict to arise. The other stages in this process are cognition and personalization, aims, behavior, and results.

What is a crisis? A crisis is a time of intense difficulty, trouble, or danger. It’s also something that can just happen randomly at any point in time, that you are never prepared for. It’s a disaster that can never be prepared for. My disaster I’m going to write about is the aftermath that I got to experience personally of a crisis. On April 27th 2011, a massive tornados stretched across Mississippi, Georgia, and broke through Alabama, 60 to be exact. One especially destroyed Ohatchee Alabama and Shoal Creek Valley.

A crisis refers not just to a traumatic event or experience, but to an individual's response to the situation. The events that trigger this crisis can run the gamut of life experience, from developmental hurdles (such as going through puberty) to natural disasters to the death of a loved one. Crisis counseling is an intervention that can help individuals deal with the crisis by offering assistance and support.

Leadership and controversy, learning to get over it, before it takes over you. Accepting conflict as an opportunity to test one’s spiritual strength and to recognize that with leadership comes challenges. However, most importantly, having the knowledge to do what is right in the Father’s eyes, in other words, what is in your spiritual toolbox.

Conflict is “an expressed struggle between at least two interdependent parties who perceive incompatible goals, scarce resources, and interference from others in achieving their goals” (Hocker, 1991). There are two basic types of conflicts: substantive and emotional. According to Schermerhorn et.al., substantive conflict is a fundamental disagreement over ends or goals to be pursued and the means for their

As children grow up, they typically find themselves doing some of the same things their family does because of the amount of time children spend with them. This family has created this atmosphere of abnormal behavior to continue for the next generation, which is affecting the way and course of action that will direct Gary’s life.

Dr. Babler explains that for Christians a crisis provides opportunities to glorify and honor God and to love and serve others. My understanding from the book is a crisis is a chance to intervene, show compassion and spread the gospel.

To some heroism might mean a exhibiting an act of high purpose, doing something worth honoring or noble, but in the case of Othello, by William Shakespeare, the term heroism has a completely different meaning. In Othello, heroism is to have the ability to play different roles and say things to woo, convince, persuade, overwhelm, and manipulate others. Many of the characters in the play become the victims or as Marcia Macaulay, who wrote the literary criticism, “When Chaos is Come Again: Narrative and Narrative Analysis In Othello,” calls them the puppets of this character.

The affects of crisis can result in an individual reacting in one of three ways (James 2008):
