Metaphors Of Conflict

The conflict that I will use here is the conflict between me and my parent and in particular with my dad. This was sue to the fact that I had to move to live with my mum during the initial years of my college life yet there before I had been living with my dad.

Confronting conflict is only effective if the offender is willing to hear you out and are willing to collaborate. As indicated by (Pegues, 2009, p.21) usually the person who is more spiritually mature is the one who initiates the reconciliation. My mother had me when she was very young and at times, we have a very rough relationship for some reason.

We all have occasion to disagree with others either at work, in friendships or other social and community interactions, but most of the time, we are able to resolve these disagreements, if not completely amicably, at least to the extent that we can still associate with the person or persons involved. Sadly, this is often not what happens in family disputes, which can quickly escalate into open warfare with neither side wanting to give ground.

To begin my analysis, I will be looking back upon my childhood and the conflicts that surrounded my “utopia.” There are a couple prominent conflicts that have remained etched in my memory throughout the years, but before describing those memories, I will briefly describe the different family conflict climate categories as well as conflict approaches and behaviors.

I can see that in how my parents have had arguments. One of their disagreements was clearly a class of expectations of things that needed to be done as we had family coming. When my father thought my mother should have done something that she had not he became upset with her. It was almost as if they had fought over nothing, something so trivial did not need an argument to sort it out. I can now see that this was a fight that surfaced because of expectations of one another to contribute to an entire job. It was not just about the one task at hand, or the parts of a whole, it was about how t fit into the whole situation like in the symbolic interaction theory. The way that they interacted with each other had a significant meaning. Also, the tasks had a specific meaning to each of them. For my mother, it meant nothing and to my father it meant much more. Families react to each different personality that makes up them. One person can influence the personality of others. I can see this also in how my parents have shaped me. The way that they have always interacted with me has molded me into a very positive person who is also very stubborn and strong willed. It is also easy to see how when my parents addressed the myths about marriage during interviews, they were both very certain of themselves. They knew, from their own experiences, that their opinion mattered. They have been through thirty years worth of trial and

In her article “How Parental Conflict Hurts Kids” Anna Sutherland discusses how conflict between a kids parents can affect them later on in life. She goes on to explain which types of conflict are actually harmful, and how when parents solve the problem together in a positive and calm manner it can actually be beneficial to the child. The article further states the specific outcomes of parental conflict on children, how those will affect them later in life, and why conflict between parents creates these effects. Throughout the article Sutherland refers to studies and research done to help emphasize her points.

Have you ever got into an argument with your parents? We have come across where we experience a conflict. By submitting this assignment I acknowledge that this work is completely my own. My dad, boyfriend, and myself came upon a conflict on a typical day. By the end of this, you'll be able to know the background, theoretical groundings, analysis, recommendations, and reflections.

This quote is intriguing since it can be translated in a number of interpretations; however, each discloses a similar allegation. One interpretation may relay a metaphor in which the simple action of thinking a particular idea relates to loading the pistol and when spoken aloud, the bullet are shot. Thoughts are inevitable; human nature is merciless, forcing us to constantly consider the right and wrong, best and worst, harm or aid, etc. It is when these silent mentalities are exposed, culminating with other peoples’ that problems truly arise, usually in a more aggressive manner. From another perspective, one may translate already spoken words as loaded pistols and the resulting actions are the firing pistol. This is incredibly close to the

People can best describe conflict by having a positive attitude and also have positive thinking in themselves and other people.

Even when I was very young my father was never really a figure of authority for me, but more or a brother. We played; we fought, so when I was approached by him trying to take control of my schedules and life it was a shock to me. I did not adapt well to the new rules that my dad was giving me since he had never enforced them before. Because of this, as a child I did as I pleased but I was still very careful in my actions because in my mind I would still get in trouble

While growing up, I did not have to deal with much conflict. The little conflict I had to adhere to was usually constricted within my household. In meaning, if something happened within my household, it was to be kept in my household. My mother did not and still do not like for everyone to be “all in her business.” As I got older, I realized how much I did not like how situations was resolved. Keeping the conflict constricted only made the problem grow larger within the household. Everyone in my household was very strong and opinionated. Therefore, they would stick to their side of the story. There wasn’t any outside voice to settle the disputes. If one would agree with the other side, then the other person would just walk around the house

My older brother and I have been living with each other since we came to Oregon. In our childhood, both my mother and father used to work outside, so we were alone for the most of the day. No surprise, it was not a day that we didn’t fight with each other. As being kid, it was inevitable and natural for two brothers to fight and argue with each other. However, now that we are grown up, still we argue with each other quite often.

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

Listening to my parents bicker with each other was tough. I thought you weren’t supposed to argue in front of children, or at least where they could still hear you. I learned that being heard is one of the most amazing feelings in the world. Just to feel loved enough to take the time of an individual, without feeling guilty. Honestly I don’t care what we are talking about, but talking and listening are crucial parts in building a sturdy relationship. I felt like I did a lot of listening, I listened to my parents argue, I listened to my
