Interpersonal Conflict: The Case Of Renita J.

Interpersonal conflict can be defined as “the interaction of interdependent people who perceive incompatible goals and interference from each other in achieving those goals”.

Even though Reese and her mother are not as close as other members of the family, they still would have to communicate in some way to realize that Reese’s goal to travel over two hours away for college is farther than her mother is comfortable with. These incompatible goals of distance become the root cause of their interpersonal conflict.

Philosopher Emerson once said “every coin has two sides; so do conflicts”. In the pages of human history, conflicts are unavoidable and while major conflicts such as war have been evil forces in the world it can also produce very positive results. That is not to say conflict is entirely positive. When conflict arises there are those individuals that show unexpected qualities; those assets that are sudden and unforseen. These assets can be seen in the movie The Sapphires through the character Dave and on a global scale through Mandela. Unfortunately there are also those individuals who in the midst of conflict express unexpected negative traits. This can be seen through the

The consultant tells the man to accommodate this kind of ignoring and have a conversation with his wife. Then the man opens his heart to his wife and tells her what he really needs.
