What is diversity? A simple definition of diversity means differences. Diversity does not only mean differences between the Black population and the White population. Diversity speaks to differences among culture, race, ethnicity, religion, and sexual orientation of all people to name a few. To function in our changing world, I think it is important to have an understanding and appreciation of diversity. Some people talk about having tolerance, but I think it is more important for people to have an appreciation. Tolerance means to put up with something that is bothersome. It would be great if everybody could be aware of our differences and learn to appreciate others for who they are.

Although sometimes useful to break from the conflict to cool off, it tends to be destructive. As a forceful way to avoid conflict, it is active

1. Concept: Conflict strategies are defined by two separate means: whether something is competitive/ nasty in nature or cooperative/ nice in nature and whether it is directly confronted or avoided indirectly. This creates four categories that that accurately describes how the conflict was handled as either direct fighting, indirect fighting, negotiation, or no-confrontation. The specific topic that will be discussed is Indirect Fighting in which the situation is avoided but in a competitive manner which conveys displeasure with the situation.

I agree with the lesson eight commentary that most people tend to perceive conflict as negative. However, I believe that conflict highlights an issue between multiple parties and provides an opportunity for recognition of the issue, communication of positions, and the collective goal to resolve the conflict. Thereby building relationships and

The difference between functional and dysfunctional conflict is that functional serves a purpose in the organization such as the interest and dysfunctional serves no purpose but to threaten the organization ((Kinicki A. Kreitner R.2008 p. 277).

Conflict is process which begins when one party perceives that another party has negatively affected, or is about to negatively affect, something the first party cares about.

Conflict is a problematic situation that occurs between interdependent people who seek different goals or means to those goals. Conflict is inevitable as relationships become closer, more personal, and more interdependent, more conflicts occur, perceived trivial or minor complaints become more significant, and feelings become more intense. Conflict has many definitions (opposing viewpoints, when opponents engage in battle, going against one another in some fashion, incompatibility between the objectives of two or more characters or forces) and approaches (avoiding, accommodating, competing, collaborating, compromising). There are five types of conflict, Value, Relationship, Interest, Data and Structural Conflict. Interpersonal conflict is

The term conflict is termed to be a dispute that arise between two individuals that create a differences making them break their relation.  In any dispute, we just have to make negotiation to sort out the problem.

We live in a society where people come from different countries, they belong to different cultural, religion, ethnic groups, and races. All these factors come together and contributes to differences that make us unique from each other. Hence, a multicultural country with huge diversity. This reflection journal will cover what “human race” is and what role it plays in ones’ personal life and in a nursing profession. Moreover, what bias, assumptions and judgements are, and how to avoid them. Lastly, what caring is and what role does it play in nursing.

These stages provide a framework to explain how and why conflict will occur and how can it be minimized and resolved. The process begins with certain antecedent conditions which means have been showed to exist in a conflict situation and it may increase the rate of developing conflict. Then, the parties aware the conflict and are affected by their perceptions and feelings about the situation which is perceived and felt conflict. The manifest stage is enacted through behaviours such as debate, competition or problem solving. The last stage of the process is conflict resolution or management and the resulting aftermath. Resolution or management will occur when both sides commit themselves to carry out the agreement with a mutually agreed-upon solution (Sullivan & Decker, 2012). With the resolution, the conflict will end and new conditions will establish which results

While a variety of definitions of the term “conflict” have been suggested and improved over time, this paper will use the
