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

Compromise, without a doubt, plays one of the most important roles in moving a society forward. It allows people to put conflicts behind them and to focus on the future and what it offers them. As seen many times throughout history, problems and disputes can create barriers that prevent growth and development of society. However, when people work together and make negotiations, they are able to move onto more important things, rather than dwell on the past.

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

Simply put resting at a conclusion after a negotiation may not necessarily be the ideal outcome unless cooperative is achieved by both parties. Bargaining in general could involve parents, friends, teachers, spouses, employers, and so on (Anderson, 2013). Likewise companies also negotiation contracts with one another or individuals involved within the companies.

By talking through it with the other person seeing if there is any underline problems, resentment or jealousy. Trying to agree a way of working together. Trying not to be the winner in the argument and trying to win it. Listen to what the other person is telling me. Try to work through it speak in a calm tone. This simple agreement of working together will simply strengthen your bond. If you feel you are being reasonable, and nothing is coming of the conflict you now have to speak to

One should consider using a "win-win" approach to conflict when short-term goals are more important and there is no need for a long-term harmonious relationship.<br>

A meeting with all involved parties to discuss the issue is also another good way to resolve conflict. Everyone will have a chance to speak; this is a good opportunity to hear all sides of the story and gain a full understanding of the conflict.

Whether or not we are aware of it, each of us is faced with an abundance of conflict each and every day. From the division of chores within a household, to asking one's boss for a raise, we've all learned the basic skills of negotiation. A national bestseller, Getting to Yes, introduces the method of principled negotiation, a form of alternative dispute resolutions as opposed to the common method of positional bargaining. Within the book, four basic elements of principled negotiation are stressed; separate the people from the problem, focus on interests instead of positions, invest options for mutual gain, and insist on using objective criteria. Following this section of the book are suggestions for problems that may occur and finally a

Compromise can cause further conflict. Usually compromise is used to solve conflict between two or more groups, but sometimes it benefits one group than other groups than cause more serious problem. For example, big retailer wants the items for 20 dollars for per item and producer wants 25 dollars for per item. After negotiating they compromise to make it 22 dollars per item. Producer is getting more money than retailer has offered but getting less than what they want, but on the other hand retailer is paying more than they want but they increase the price of the product to get same profit. This can cause producers go out of business because they are not making enough money to keep company

The word compromise is having a tremendous effect today in finding cooperation and negotiation among us. The concept, regarding the word compromise, has influenced an immense amount of negative feelings and questionable behavior in defense to the fear of defeat. The present impact on the skill of productive compromise may be a lost art as many now feel that compromise is to forsake their regarded beliefs, to extinguish intended objectives or the imposition of disheartening settlement.

However, if one side is far more powerful than another, they are likely to simply impose their solution on the other side, who will be forced to accept it, because they have no other choice. Using Fisher and Ury's term, they have no 'BATNA' (Best alternative to a negotiated agreement). (Gillian, (2005) Negotiation, lecture notes)

This essay will look at various methods that have been used in the historical and modern context to give employees ‘voice’ which include Voluntarism, Trade Unions (TU’s) and

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).

In resolving conflict, ask the question, “How do we keep this from happening again?” The first thing is to be objective. This helps in managing conflict by keeping team members focused on the problem at hand (Huber, 2007)

Conflict need not be catastrophic or personal conflicts are simply part of being human. Deal with issues as they arise, avoiding conflict makes situations worse. Time does not resolve matters instead it decreases the chance of a positive outcome. Attempt to understand the other person's point of view because dismissing the other's views, assigning blame, and exclusive focus on your own perspective are all counterproductive. Do not judge emotions, no one's feelings are more or less “right” than the other. Emotions reflect a valid perspective of an individual even if you don't understand it; acknowledge the other person's reaction as important. Focus on the behavior, situation or problem area without attacking the person involved. Do not assume your values or beliefs are “right”, they reflect a view of the world from your unique perspective. Respecting another's viewpoint as equally valuable opens an opportunity for learning and growth (Lifetips moving up in life, 2000).
