How People Best Respond To Conflict

In the article, Malala the Powerful by Kristen Lewis, she described how Malala and other people ruled by the Taliban around 2007, had to follow many harsh rules ordered from the Taliban. Many people perished because of not following the religious rules. Malala stood up to the Taliban while they ruled. She did not listen to the Taliban when they said that school was banned. She courageously stood up to the Taliban but yet still got shot. She crazily survived the shooting and is still alive and going to college today. Though the Taliban created huge challenges for Malala, she survived because she stood up to the Taliban with her great courage, and is getting a better education today.

The article , “Malala the Powerful”, By Kristin Lewis, describes a girl who got hurt for what she stood up to in the world, so her and other went through lots of courage and challenges. That are still happening in this world today. But a lot of what she and others went through is still going on today in Taliban. Malala was a girl who fought for others girls to be in school that affect the world because if the taliban knew the would kill them or hurt them are something like that. when the Taliban came around and stroll the streets she still went to school, but she hid herself and the other children as well. As she was getting on a bus one, day two men walked up and asked for Malala and she got up they shot her. She recovered,

“Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak. Courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.” – Winston Churchill. The two selections, Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl and Hitler Youth: Growing Up in Hitler’s Shadow, are both great examples of people who are going through conflict but still display courage. The best way people can respond to conflict is by having courage and confidence.

The article, “Malala the Powerful” by Kristin Lewis, describes the roughness of Malala, a Jewish girl, who like many girl Jews, crumbled in the hands of Taliban. Malala was alive when the Taliban took over Pakistan. She and many other girl jews were kicked out of school and forced to follow all these stitched rules. In 2009, Malala took action and started a blog. She talked on T.V shows about how hard life was like and was standing up to the Taliban. In 2010, the Taliban shot Malala in the face but she and many other Jews still survived. Though she lived in rough and tough challenges, Malala show lots of courage trying to stand up to the Taliban and their powerful government.

Fear prevented people from wanting to exercise their rights. There were many silent people, and others who wouldn’t dare to speak against the Taliban. “There’s a moment when you have to choose, will you be silent? Or will you speak?” Malala told reporters (from “He named me Malala”). She said that “They (Taliban) destroyed more than 400 schools” The Taliban used this as a way of showing that education is against the rules, especially for girls. People acting differently when more are around, in this case following the Taliban rules, the environment affects the situation differently. This is the “Power of Context.” Malala was few people who defied Taliban rule, and went to school understanding that she may be killed. Many parents pulled their kids out of school out of fear. “Attendance at Malala’s school decreased by more than 60 percent.” (data taken from “Malala the Powerful”). Malala knew that there were many people that could not or would not speak against the Taliban. “I am not one voice, I am many” Malala told people (From “He named me Malala”). The environment that surrounded Malala helped her want to speak up for her rights and others. “My father only gave me Malalai, I chose this life. I must stand with it” Malala answered an interviewer (interviewing for “He named me Malala”) who asked her about being angry with her dad, and him choosing her name. These components, the stickiness factor, the law of the few,

During the Taliban, Malala showed a tremendous amount of courage against the Taliban. For example, Malala’s father keeping his school open when the Taliban ordered for all schools to close. The text explicitly states, “Despite the Taliban’s order, Malala’s father decided to keep his school open. This was incredibly dangerous, especially because the Taliban were gaining popularity in Swat.” (7). This is a courageous act because if the Taliban found out that her father still had his girl school open, their could be punishment by the Taliban. Malala’s father risked his life against the Taliban. Another courageous act is when Malala used her voice when the Taliban ordered that all music is banned if you were in controlled areas by the Taliban. According to the text, “It turns out there was something she could do.

One characteristic I believe both protagonists, Malala and Scout, share is determination. They hold their heads high and believe that they will make the best of the situation. Some ways are similar, while others are different. Malala is characterized by determination in that she doesn’t change her beliefs for the affinity of others.

First and foremost, Malala Yousafzai was only thirteen years old when she was told that she was being targeted by the Taliban. She was not intimidated by the Taliban, but thought of handling the situation by explaining her

Malala was a young girl that fought for the education of young women in third-world countries. Malala used strength and bravery to rebel against the Talibans and fight for an education. Even after being shot, the young woman still fought for the knowledge and education for all girls. According to the book I Am Malala, after she recovered from being shot, she went back to advocating for women's rights to an education. This shows how she remained strong after serious conflict.

The Taliban is an Islamic political movement currently waging war in Afghanistan. During this time people would rather for girls to not present themselves in a school environment. As a result of this Malala and her father began to speak against those people, they helped for girls did go to school, and that angered most people. Malala’s father had a friend, and because of this anger, his friend was attacked. Malala’s father lost his friend, when he was attacked and shot in the face just because he spoke out against the Taliban.

Though many could argue that Malala is not the only cause of violence, she is in the forefront for change in her culture, so the Taliban believe that she should remain the same. Malala says that her friend “had seen a Taliban holding up the severed head of a policeman by its hair, blood dripping from the neck”( Yousafzai 144). This a clear example of violence that extends to those who are not directly related to rebellion. It shows that the Taliban are relentless because if individuals do not refrain from speaking out, innocent people will suffer. Fear will only continue to grow and the Taliban’s hope is that through their violence and brutality things will not change. Malala as one of the main leaders of change, causes this particular violence which would not happen if she would stop. When the fight for change doesn’t end, the Taliban will attack the resources that everyone needs to survive. Malala says, “The Taliban bombed the power station, so we had no electricity, then a few days later they blasted the pipeline, so we had no gas either” (Yousafzai 155). Now that everyone reaps the negative effects, Malala’s actions could lead to further harm if not death of the people living in Pakistan. Clearly it’s not only her actions that have caused this dangerous situation, but since she is known in America she is clearly making an impact. Because the Taliban are against her actions, this puts Malaya’s loved ones in danger. Malala makes an impact, but she disobeys her culture and puts her country in danger, when the Taliban are unwilling to let her make a

In regard to the forceful method of conflict resolution mentality, I believe that many times this is the most appropriate form to use. As time goes by, feelings often get in the way and alter ones true thoughts and ideas. Meaning, if someone is highly offended by the conflict, they may use their emotions. Politics and emotions in and amongst the office setting play a large role in multiple decisions that one again can impact the office as a whole. Therefore, your analyzation of the facts available to you are the most important as you stated. To date what do your believe was your best and worst decisions based upon the facts presented to

Malala Yousafzai, a survivor of violence, addresses those who want to bring about change. In her speech, she references the event which brought her name into international recognition: being attacked by the Taliban for challenging their views. She first thanks those who worked to rehabilitate her after the attack, then briefly restates the event, and explains the international response of it. Malala recounts her experiences

During this past semester attending to your lectures and discussion, I learned there are five methods used to categorize a person behavior during conflict. Those five methods include collaborating, compromising, avoiding, competing, and lastly, accommodating. I have a roommate named “Emma”, but I will not go into details yet! The problem we need to work on is to get quiet hours in the apartment because I want be able to sleep peacefully and study without distraction and Emma only host parties to have my friendship.

In trying to resolve the conflict between Reece and Patel, Edwards used an avoidance strategy. Instead of speaking directly about the root causes, or sources, of the conflict, Edwards focused on the behaviors and treated Reece and Patel like children. Edwards scolded them, and sent them off without bothering to find out what was bothering the two. Of course, this type of conflict resolution is ineffective because it fails to address the underlying issues. As Anderson (n.d.) points out, addressing the problem is key to conflict resolution. "When a conflict does happen, a manager needs to focus the conflicting parties on the issue and have them leave out any personal problems they may be having," (Anderson, n.d.).
