Conflict And Conflicts: The Bad Side Of Conflict

Decent Essays
Introduction Paper:
When it comes to conflict I feel that it is something that it can be a very annoying part of life. Conflict has the ability to be both good as well as bad in specific situations but I am referring more to the bad side of conflict. I believe that if certain things can be avoided then as human beings we should do our best to live in peace and less stress. Life is unpredictable as it stands but we should monitor the amount of stress we allow and most times create in our lives.

When a conflict arises I am normally the one that approaches it with the thought “okay, you’re trying to cause an issue in the life of one that is not your own. This crap must come to an end immediately.” Here is where I make decision to make the effort to solve that issue or ignore/dismiss the issue as well as the person that has ignited this issue and continue to live my life, free of the concern for that person and issue.
I approach conflicts from the perspective of personality. When I begin to assess the conflict that may arise, I would evaluate the person that I am having the issue with. I tend to look at the person’s character as a whole. If I know that this particular person is one that is notorious for making issues then I would be more inclined to be irritated and therefore be in a more hostile manner towards them that would either result in an escalation of the conflict or the mental casket that the person and conflict be placed

    As Helen Keller once said, “Keep your face to the sunshine and you will not see a shadow.” This can also mean that the most effective way of getting through a crisis is to have a positive outlook, and not to focus on the negatives. In Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl — a series of journal entries that Anne Frank wrote while she and her family were hiding from the Nazi regime — Anne attempts to have a positive attitude no matter what the circumstances. She fought for her own life and for her loved ones’ lives, and her mental strength is one reason why she made it as long as she did. If she hadn’t looked on the bright side, despite her bleak situation, she would've never had the faith or will to survive.…
