Peace, then, is understood as a continuous process of skillfully dealing with and, whenever possible, preventing or transforming conflict. To manage and resolve conflicts effectively, we must become aware of our attitudes towards conflict and our habitual conflict management styles (competitive, collaborative, avoidant, submissive, etc. ), so as to attain to greater freedom to define our own responses in a proactive and coordinated (as opposed to reactive and incoherent) way. Such awareness increases our chances of achieving "win-win" rather than "win-lose" or "lose-lose" solutions. We learn to understand and work with our own emotions, to generate openness to more authentic communication, and to control processes that might otherwise lead to escalation.
I will then go on to look at minimising conflict using a recognised technique and how the adverse effects can be minimised. Causes and Explanation Because there are a variety of personalities within the work place it is inevitable that there will be conflict at some point and this could be for any number of reasons; * Different Personal Values; at some point you may be asked to complete a task that conflicts with your ethical standards. When work conflicts with personal values conflict can arise very quickly and this can be overcome by trying not to ask people to do tasks that you know will cause them distress due to their beliefs/values. * Unpredictable Policies: When rules or policies change within the workplace and those changes are not communicated clearly, confusion and conflict can occur. It is essential to inform people of changes and why these changes are happening as when you are aware of why something is being altered you are much more likely to accept it.
However, there are cases when an individual's character is not only identified at conflict but rather redefined or changed by it. As in conflict, compromises great or small are made in order to accommodate present circumstances. Choices made are reflective of one's priorities and inlaid beliefs. Assessing an individual's true character often requires other people's input. It can therefore become a relative matter, rather than subjective, when people are involved.
“Peace is not absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means,” this quote by Ronald Regan shows that conflict is an inevitable part of society. Conflict is a fundamental part of life and is always present for every individual throughout their everyday life. Encountering conflict means to face or handle conflict and the ways in which we go about trying to resolve it. Different types of conflict can be local, national, religious, political, economic or cultural. There are a number of reasons why conflict occurs; difference in beliefs, morals, religion and values, fear and unmatched expectations.
Another example of dealing with group conflict would be altercation and by influence. Challenging, questioning, and speaking your mind when a conflict surfaces is what an influential and confrontational member would do. By discussing the topic would be a way to eliminate difference of opinion among group members and persuade them to proceed differently. This approach may bring to an end or carry on the conflict. Solving conflict is a talent and communication awareness is fundamental to putting an end to any group communication conflict.
INTRODUCTION Every major or minor organizational change or crisis requires change agents or change leaders. A change agent is an individual who has the expertise and influence to stimulate, facilitate, and coordinate the change effort. It takes courage to become a change agent and need a new mindset towards organizational members and performance and a readiness to take risks, dilemma to deal with uncertainty and conflicts, and so on. A change agent is required to develop expertise such as problem solving skills, ability to foresee long-term perspective and to tolerate rejection, including failure. Therefore, to achieve any change effort depends on the quality and workability of the relationship between the change agent and the members of the organization.
Parris can also be paranoid or thinks too much about what other people are going to think of him, as he did when Abigail told Parris that he should tell people that there is no witchcraft, and Parris replied “And what shall I say to them? That my daughter and my niece I discovered dancing like heathen in the forest?” (1238), this shows how he isn’t just going to tell people about what happened in the forest because they might take it a different way than he thinks about it. Abigail Williams is a liar not just a regular liar but a compulsive liar Abigail has a habit of lying as she did telling people Tituba forced the girls to dance “she made me do it! She made Betty do it!” (1260), this was when Abigail was accusing Tituba for the dances in the forest. Abigail is the leader of the group of girls, telling them what to do “Now look you.
Conflict in a group it just simply validates human nature and makes us aware that all people are not the same. Conflict in a group setting, means that many different personalities working together to meet a certain goal. People all have different ideas, differences of opinion, or something as simple as stress and catapult a normally receptive team spiraling downward into non-progressive conversations and work. When working with a team, many factors should be consider, and an optimal solution isn’t always possible. Each situation has to be thought through and approached differently.
This paper will discuss the various concepts in analyzing conflicts and the concept that I feel is the most important in reaching a resolution a conflict. Conflict Management and Resolution: The Most significant Concept Conflict is something that we will never be able to get away from. As long as there are people on the face of this earth there will always be conflict. Many times a simple and innocent everyday interaction can turn into a conflict when you least expect it. Why is this you ask?
He thinks that the village should give him free firewood and he asked for the ownership of his house, something not normal for a first minister to do in those times. He discovered his own niece, Abigail, dancing in the woods and doing witchcraft. “Just now when some good respect is rising for me in the parish, yo compromise my very character”.-(pg9) This is a problem for him, if the rumor is spread and all the blame is thrown on Abigail, this will affect his reputation. He is the reverend, he should not permit any witchcraft inside his house. Later on in the play we realize that Abigail comes to be treated like a victim rather than a criminal.
