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.

Constructive conflict. It’s when we are able to change allowing us to deal with people or things in way; this allows us to be a process that is useful and worthwhile. Most conflict is very competitive and involves compromise. Constructive conflict allows for a balance so that each parties ideas and thoughts are expressed. This allows for a mutual understanding by both parties, resulting in a constructive conflict. For which a focus is on the process, not just outcome for positive results. An example would be when you down to your last cookie. You have the possibility of the two kids fighting over the last cookie. Then you take the cookie and cut it in half so that each kid gets the same amount of cookie. Thus both parties are satisfied and positive conflict, resolved in a positive way.

Although there will be times of sadness, tension, or anger between two partners, sources of these types of problems may come from unrealistic demands, high expectations, lingering issues and/or certain behavior one partner may not like that which exists in the relationship. Conflict resolution uses honesty, a strong willed mind to consider one’s partner's perspective regardless of the situation, and lots of communication between the couple in question.

Ego conflicts are when a dispute centers are status or power. Often, this type of conflict will begin with some small issue, but as status and power start to play an influence the conflict will escalate.

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.

Because of this, I am excellent at understanding people’s varying viewpoints and what they’re going through. This usually leads to me being the one who resolves and mediates conflicts in groups. Due to being empathetic and kind I am sometimes perceived as being a pushover, but I have grown to be confident in my decisions and plans.

Conflict Management can often be the toughest task for a leader to handle. It involves dealing with inter-personal and intra-personal conflict. As a team leader of a technical event called Pulse’09 at my university, I had to deal with conflicts on a regular basis. Conflicts usually arise either due to lack of effective communication, different ideologies, lack of resources or due to task interdependence [3]. It was by far my most life changing experience as it taught me the reason behind conflicts and the way to resolve them. In this paper, I will be talking about the way I dealt with conflicts and managed them, the impact they had on the team performance and what I could do to improve my leadership by contrasting my experience to the

In order to prepare for this negotiation, I first created a negotiation checklist. As the buyer, my goal was not to pay more than $4,000. The conflict management style I decided to begin with was competitive. I figured since the outcome is important and the relationship is not that having a competitive approach would be effective. My first tactic was to probe/test. I needed more information on the car. I asked Andrew, the seller, the year, the model, if he had regular maintenance, etc. All to which he wasn’t very specific about because though it wasn’t on the handout, though he could have made up anything. This quickly angered me that he didn’t prepare for typical questions asked when buying a used car. Since I couldn’t probe him for information, I switched to presenting him with research based information. I let him know that I had done my research on the car and that Jetta’s often have transmission problems. This gave me a sense of authority. He was surprised by my knowledge on the car to which he knew little about. When he asked what my other options were I told him my BATNA was better than it actually was. He right off the bat disclosed information about his BATNA. I learned that his resistance point was $4,400. Even though he shared information with me I did not share back. I actually wasn’t 100% honest with him, which isn’t ethical but is necessary in many negotiations. I lied about how much I had to offer, and I did not let him know about the additional $700 in my
