Thus, the resolution for the confiscation of the throne is justified through the moral concern of the 'divine right of kings'.

The differences in personality styles are infinite, and among them are the types that can embrace these differences. Unfortunately, other types cannot accept even the slightest inconsistency.

Once during my 360 degree review, I received feedback that my team members felt devalued and that they were not being listened to because often times I continued typing when they came into the office; even though I coherently responded to the questions. After receiving this feedback, anytime someone comes into my office, I would sit on my…

(Plon, 1974, p391). The study of conflict within human relations became popular after the second world war and the “last moments of the cold war” (Plon, 1974, p391), possibly due to psychologists attempting to study the cause of such wars and how humans can behave in such conflicts against others. Darwin, Marx and Freud dominated the study of human behaviour in the early years of psychology, including some work which may link slightly to causations of conflict (Deutsch et al., 2006 p13). The main…
Conflict arises from various sources in the team setting (Capozzoli, 1995). The most common causes of conflict are values, attitudes, needs, expectations, perceptions, resources, and personalities.

Limited resources within a company could cause conflict between departments. Each department needs a certain amount of money to function properly. For example: the nursing budget is higher than the housekeeping budget because the hospital needs more nurses to take care of the patients.

Therefore conflicts could arise when the nursing department needs more money…

Analyzing this problem in particular shows, neither department will profit from a compromising 50/50 work arraignment. Neither department will benefit from Martinez forcing the resolution by keeping Rankin in credit because she is his subordinate.

In this situation, a win-win scenario will be the most beneficial to both departments and the company as a whole. (Geraldine…

Ismene, in parting, accuses Antigone of foolishness in her bold plans: “Go, then, if thou must; and of this be sure,-that though thine errand is foolish, to thy dear ones thou art truly dear.” Ismene, one might say, is “humble and pious” to the king first and to the gods secondly. Creon is introduced into the drama, the antithesis of humility and piety; he replaces Eteocles as ruler in Thebes: “I now possess the throne and all its powers, by nearness of kinship to the dead.” Creon explains to…

The changes in our sales process will cause some conflict between departments or divisions. They will struggle to regain their perceived power levels, causing conflict and then we will have reduced performance. We are fortunate to have an organic structure in our company as this will have less resistance because our people are allowed to think and make decisions on their own. This gives them security from the habit of deciding how to implement a process. Were we mechanistic we would see more resistance…
reactions, results, and resolution (Poter, 2003). The first step is reasons. In the step of reasons, team members communicate about what is causing the conflict (Poter, 2003). The next step is reactions. During this step the reactions of each team member is considered, and if these reactions are improper, they have a chance to think about it and change the reactions (Poter, 2003). The next step is results. During this step, the team discusses how they might resolve the conflict to get the results the…
