THESIS PROPSAL Title: QUESTIONS IN IMPLICIT CONFLIKT TALK Candidate: AYMEN ADIL MAHMOOD Supervisor: Prof. Yang Wenxiu Major: Linguistic and Applied Linguistic Date: 2014 1. Introduction The term conflict has been used in different ways, or with different forms (e.g. racial, ethnic, religious, political, marital, personal, etc.),or at different levels (e.g. within the individual, between individuals, between groups, between organizations, between nations, etc.) and in different contexts (e.g. at home, in organizations, on the battlefield, etc.). Conflict is often seen as aggressive and hence a destructive phenomenon. It is generally understood as something that has to be coped with and solved. However, conflict can also be understood as a constructive process with positive consequences (Iborra2004, McWhirter 1999, 2000). From a developmental point of view, conflict can help us “to solve ourselves”(Iborra & Santamaría 2006). This means that conflict is also considered a chance for personal development. Conflict talk is a common but complex phenomenon. Research on conflict talk has been done from different fields, such as philosophy, rhetoric, sociology, anthropology, psychology and linguistics. Honda (2002) viewed conflict talk as a process of opposition which includes not only the manifestation of opposition, but the whole process of inducement, initiation, development, and management of opposition. McDermott (1976) says ' 'conflict talk occurs in a
Conflict is inevitable in any personal relationship or among members of any group. While we encounter many types of conflict in our lifetime, we often look for ways to avoid conflict. So, why do we run away from dealing with our conflict? It is often because many of us fear the conflict will escalate into a situation we will not be able to sustain. “As conflicts escalate, they go through certain incremental transformations. Although these transformations occur separately on each side, they affect the conflict as a whole because they are usually mirrored by the other side. As a result of these transformations, the conflict is intensified in ways that are sometimes exceedingly difficult to undo” (Pruitt, and Kim 89). We
Whether we like it or not, conflict is a part of everyday lives. It can happen to anyone, from your friends to your family.
Learning to communicate efficiently and manage conflict successfully is challenging. Gaining cooperation between people is complex and mentally demanding. Communication ways and conflict styles are deeply woven into our personalities. Conflict is the expressed struggle of interdependent parties who perceive incompatible goals, interference from the other party in achieving those goals, and the perception of scarce resources. Perceptions are just as important as reality in regards to conflict. As stated in the text, “we encounter conflict as we compete for acceptance, love, recognition, position, power, success, and many other goals. Judgments of the quality of
Encountering conflict is an inevitable facet of human existence, which by definition is the opposition of intangible entities. From conflict individuals and societies may be challenged and furthered in terms of social and moral values and beliefs, as each comes to encounter the underlying and intangible elements of conflict and through this, humanity.
Conflict is an essential part of the process. Conflict can lead to growth, change, and progress. Conflict allows humans to explore others' beliefs and interests. Conflict in life challenges our society to improve in problem-solving. Therefore, having conflict is crucial because it gives us an opportunity to increase societal growth.
Like Stephen R. Covey once said, “most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply” (Stephen Covey). Most people do not try to see things in the point pf view of others, they like to jump to conclusion. Conflict is an interaction between interdependent people who perceive that they have contradictory goals or scare resources. The more important the relationship is, the more important the conflict is.
Keeping this point in mind, it is highly recommendable that one must adopt positive and constructive attitude towards conflict and must see them as challenges for them that will test their might and knowledge
Over the past thirty years, the Cornell Speech and Debate Society (“CSDS”) has established itself as a internationally-recognized debate and speech organization. Like all organizations, however, the CSDS and its members experience conflict that arises from various sources. In particular, many of the CSDS’s structural and organizational dynamics create and exacerbate conflict rather than resolve it. The most common and recurring sources of CSDS conflict include status differences among various stakeholders, competition for limited resources, and perceptual differences of the CSDS’s purpose. To mitigate conflict that arises from these sources and others, the CSDS should adopt a multifaceted conflict resolution system that seeks settle conflict
The temporal lobe is still developing after the age of 16 and is not fully connected to the frontal lobe during this development. This lobe has two divisions: the hippocampus and the amygdala. The hippocampus is located in each temporal lobe. It is responsible for long term memory and emotional response. It has a very unique shape similar to a horseshoe. It is immature during adolescence and is susceptible to the effects of alcohol. Alcohol can hinder the ability to develop memories and thereby impact learning. Adolescents who binge drink are susceptible to the negative effects of alcohol in the developing hippocampus. Given the extent of brain maturation occurring during this phase in life, adolescents who use substances appear to
While the title “Exodus” comes from the Septuagint and means “The Way Out,” the original Hebrew language is taken from the opening verse, “And these are the names.” The interpretation of the title is compelling because it points out what Gentile and Jewish believers might consider to be essential in their faith. While the Jewish people might put much emphasis upon the history of their ancestors because of the eventual renewal and perpetuation of the covenant is established through their deliverance from Egypt and the reigning Pharaoh, the most significant idea of the book of Exodus for the Gentiles might be that God had delivered them from their own slavery (a type of Egypt).
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).
De lo anterior, observamos que para tener un conflicto necesitamos de tres componentes: [Vásquez Ramírez, W. (n.d.)] una situación conflictiva, actitudes conflictivas y comportamientos conflictivos. La situación conflictiva es la diferencia de opiniones, creencias, una necesidad insatisfecha, una mala comunicación; las actitudes conflictivas serán, sin lugar a dudas, las emociones tales como, el enojo, el miedo, la frustración y la
Conflict is in inevitable part of our everyday lives. Since no two people view things in the exact same manner, disagreement will most certainly arise at some point in time. Conflict is simply a difference of opinion and is considered to be a normal part of our everyday lives. There are several different forms of conflict and not all of them are considered to be bad. This paper will discuss the causes of conflict, the different types of conflict, and barriers to conflict. According to Communication Research Associates, conflict is a condition of imbalance within an individual (Communication Research Associates, 2005, p. 178). Keep in mind that just as there are disadvantages to conflict, there are also several advantages.
The traditional view of conflict is that conflict is intrinsically negative, produces negative consequences, and has a detrimental effect on organizations. Like the other two viewpoints, the tradition al view realizes that conflict is essentially inevitable. However, this viewpoint strives to minimize if not outright avoid conflict because it deems it to produce noxious consequences. This outright avoidance of conflict is not necessarily adhered to in the human relations view of conflict. This viewpoint posits the notion that conflict is and of itself natural, or organic in nature. Whereas the traditional viewpoint of conflict is that it is always bad, the human relations viewpoint sees conflict as a natural
As I am studying to become an elementary teacher, I am discovering new strategies and disciplines that have helped me become a more active learner and efficient educator. I admire the saying; we teach what we learn. From my elementary education program and classroom field experiences, I have learned that what might work for one student may not work for another. As a future educator, I believe it is essential to continue to fill my teacher toolbox with research, exploration, and application of new methods and approaches to find what best fits the needs of my students. If I discover an activity or strategy that has worked for me personally or has been scientifically proven to work, I am more open to implementing it
