Whether we like it or not, conflict is a part of everyday lives. It can happen to anyone, from your friends to your family.

What is conflict? Even something as basic as a universal definition for the word conflict seems to vary from source to source. A literature review focusing on conflict defined it as “the interaction of interdependent people who perceive incompatibility and the possibility of interference from others as a result of this incompatibility” (Brinkert 2010). Often times the disagreement results not from a concrete difference, but rather a difference in perception (Ellis & Abbott 2012). One of the most important factors effecting conflict management is the resolution style used. The most often used tool for classifying how conflict is managed is the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (Iglesias & Vallejo 2012).

Communication in conflict can be both constructive and destructive. Those who communicate constructively, or productively, emphasize both themselves and

Conflict Starts in the Heart- Conflict is an unavoidable truth. God made each of us in his own particular picture, yet he additionally made us unique. Along these lines some of our perspectives and assessments will contrast from those of others. Conflict regularly happens in light of absence of appreciation for another 's need and perspectives.

We deal with conflict everyday. Whether it is a kid at school that you just can't stand, or a family member. Heck, it may even be a random stranger at the store and he took the last LEGO set that you wanted. Whoever it is with it is still conflict. And when you get conflicted, you don't handle it too well (don't lie to yourself, everybody does it). When people are angry at one another, they want to show that they’re mad. This doesn't just happen in real life though. Conflict and reactions are shown throughout our culture. It can be a book, movie, picture, or even history. No matter what, conflict is all around us, and how we deal with it is very important.

Throughout history there have been a lot of conflicts between many different groups of people. A conflict is a disagreement between a group of people. There are a lot of causes that could lead up to a conflict between groups of people. The Reign of Terror and the Holocaust affects two different groups by killing many people.

Conflict is when 2 parties start fighting, or arguing. I believe that conflict is inevitable. I feel that conflict is inevitable because of people not having the same thoughts and ideas, people not liking a certain person, or simply disagreeing.

Conflict provides an opportunity to see how to better ourselves and to makes changes in life so we can move and grow and expand ourselves for the benefit of change. We don’t always need conflict to grow though, if there was nothing but a constant turn of events then we would just have chaos and nobody would ever recognize that there has been any progress. An example of progress with conflict is protesting,

There are all kinds of conflicts and all sorts of causes of them, yet they may provide many benefits and can be very useful to us. According to a lecture presented at the University of California, Merced titled “Shifting the Origin: The Legacy of Copernicus, Galileo and Newton”, by Professor Breugel, “Everything we know and grow from is based on assumptions, commodities, and opinions”. The conflicts we get involved in should never be taken for granted as they bring life long lessons to how we live and learn. Without communicating, the conflicts can be everlasting and would only bring unresolved severe consequences. Recognizing our limits and knowing when to stop is essential before regarding it. Conflicts bring many benefits such as the clarification, solutions as well as learning through discourse and education. Not all of our knowledge is learned by us, but by the help of others own understanding. Whatever circumstance, taking up a conflict is never the right decision to take as it may include negative externalities to both the winner and loser. As humans, we will always encounter people who are different then us, which means it will be difficult for us to try to avoid conflicts. At the end, whether it is small or big, the appreciation of conflicts should help us in becoming better individuals in society and allow ourselves to be less ignorant, but more broad-minded to others

Ultimately, when conflict becomes an undesirable disagreement, it can cause severe problems. Destructive conflict can bring about a mental struggle from the opposing internecine group which can sense a threat to personal interest, needs, or concerns which can provoke anger. I believe specific conflicts of no control should be avoided. Tubbs (2012) stated, "conflict is often hard to keep under control once they have begun" (p. 327).

Conflict is itself not necessarily bad if it results in a positive change. However, it is my belief much of our current political and social conflict is due to arrogance and entitlement. As a society we are losing the ability to respect a difference of opinion. Instead of taking the time to listen to why someone holds the views they do and come to an agreement that benefits both parties involved, we close our thoughts to anything that doesn’t fall in line with our own beliefs. This process generates heated conflict and hatred. In that respect we have taken a slight evolutionary step backwards. Perhaps this disconnect is due to technological advances and our lack of face-to-face social interaction that encourages an egomaniacal

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

Conflicts, the world will always have it. No matter the situation or the atmosphere anyone and anything will always find conflict in something. The world has become more globalized and yes each country has become extremely intercultural but it doesn’t mean it has always been welcomed. Not welcoming intercultrual globalization is the reason there is conflict in the way everyone communicates and interacts with each other. We all ask ourselves where does conflict stand, now is it inherited in the process of globalization, is it innate in human nature or is conflict profitable and who benefits from the conflict and why?

Conflict is pretty much inevitable when you work with others. Everyone have different viewpoints and under the right set of circumstances, those differences could pile up and escalate to conflict. How you handle that conflict determines whether it works to the team's advantage, or contributes to its disadvantage. Conflict isn't necessarily a terrible thing. Healthy and constructive conflict is a factor of high-functioning teams. Conflict arises because of the differences between people, the same differences that often make diverse teams more effective than those made up of people with similar experience. When people with varying viewpoints, experiences, skills, and opinions are tasked with a project or challenge, the combined effort can far surpass what any group of similar

The text book describes conflict as “a process that begins when one party perceives another party has or is about to negatively affect something the first party cares about.” There are different views on dealing with conflict. There is the traditional view that seeks to eliminate any conflict and the interaction group that seek to use conflict as a stepping stone to greater things. Conflict can arise in any situation and, following the managed conflict view, it is not necessarily something to be push under the table but something to
