People have different ways to respond to conflict. Some look at the problem with a positive attitude. Others respond to conflict by taking action. Finally, some respond to conflict by avoiding the problem. What is the best way to respond to conflict?…
In my own words, I believe that there are so many issues that I’ve experienced personally when it comes to dealing with autonomous and positive face creating conflicts. Some of the issues that I can relate to, was a moment that I came to concerning the things that I loved doing. Continuing this new ideal thoughts as part of my truly needed some sort of a time away from family. This became an issue toward my parents mainly since I never really came forth face to face and told my why I’ve been acting in such way. Most these choices that I made, I thought was wise quite wise of me.…
Possible sources of conflict could be that a resident is risk assessed and needs to use a walking frame for mobility and then chooses not to use it. To resolve this I would explain the importance of using the walking frame, discuss with them if possible, if not then with their family, about possible alternatives and if they still choose not too then make sure it is all documented in the appropriate places and that everyone involved with the individuals care is notified if…
The railroad station was forced to fire all black switchmen after a powerful protest of white workers, because during wartime, jobs were no longer determined by race but filled because they were in such need. After the war, some employers went back to the traditional practice of employing individuals based on their race, while others did not. Racism was very costly to employees because they must pay white workers more, and because a limited pool was available to hire. However, another way to look at this incident is that racism was instead, profitable for companies, and the cost to discriminate was less than the profit. The displacement of income was then turned into the responsibility of black workers.…
What I wonder is the mental state and real characters of the participants, since that could have been an important factor in test result. What percent of the participants were evil/bad people, and what,…
The United States is said to be the land of the free for all people, no matter who you are. Even though that is said to be the case, there are still many problems with racial profiling between the African American people and the police community. This has been a major dilemma since the Civil Rights Movement. In this paper, I will connect the 4 stages of conflict emergence, Identity, Grievance, Contentious Goals, and Redress, to the injustice of police brutality and then apply a source of power to each conflict emergence. The first conflict emergence is identity.…
The basic purpose of this experiment was to see if the brutality reported among guards in prison was because of the situation and roles they were given or if it had to do more with their type of personality, and to see if prisoners lacked respect for law and order because of the situation they were in with the guards or if it had to do with personality as well. Mr. Zimbardo and his team chose a few men who answered to the newspaper AD and had them answer a questionnaire about their family background, physical and mental health history and all the study subjects were considered to be normal healthy men. By the toss of a coin flip they were then given roles to be prisoners and guards. If they did not act aggressive that would confirm that it…
Of the five responses to conflict which include, Avoidance, Accommodation, Aggression, Compromise, and Collaboration my default response is aggression. I do not attempt to avoid conflict, but rather face the conflict to work towards a solution. After the reading assignment I thought about how I have used the aggression response to conflict in the past, and that response was more focused on results rather than for people. Sometimes the aggression response was successful at both, a positive result and beneficial for the person. The latest example was when a patrol officer accused another officer of not taking a burglary report near the end of shift.…
But of those one and half percent, seventy-five percent felt that the force used against them was excessive. Subjects to such force are more than likely not reliable sources for the data collected. They are more likely to have a prejudice or a bias to…
Conflict perspectives, which originated from the works of Karl Marx, consider gender inequality from the view of the powerful versus the majority. While, statistically, both male and female genders should exist in approximately a one to one ratio according to random chance, males hold the majority of the powerful positions in society. Conflict perspectives take the position that the powerful attempt to keep the subordinate in an inferior position so as to remain powerful. According to Holmes et al. (2016)…
Conflict theories are a set of theories were they argue basic values such as the role taking in functionalist theory. Conflict theory believes society is made up of competing groups with different interests. Conflict in this theory is the main ingredient for social order. There are four main parts of conflict theory: feminist theory, Marxist/socialist theory, critical race theory, and the intersectional theory. Feminist theory is the belief to aim to understand the nature of gender inequality for women; it examines the roles, interests, jobs, experience, etc.…
They created a Likert scale survey with 11 scenarios with nine of them being generally accepted as corrupt. For each of the scenarios, the officers were asked two questions on the seriousness of the behavior, two about the appropriate and expected discipline for the behavior, and two questions asked officers about their willingness to report the…
Gannon Holmgren September, 23, 2015 Prof. Mooney Conflict Theory MW Class Conflict Theory Conflict theory suggests that human behavior in social contexts results from conflict between competing groups. There is a lot that this theory needs to have covered and it ranges from the history, a detailed explanation, examples of the concepts, and a reflection to the theory itself. In order to have a good grasp on what exactly conflict theory is trying to prove a variety of topics will be discussed. At the very core conflict theory can be described as by two groups in a disagreement that eventually settle for an alternative outcome through controversial means.…
Conflict is defined as a difference of ideas or opinions. In a team or organization consisting of people from different backgrounds and with different skills, perspective and experience, it is possible to form some conflicts. According to Scott (1967), conflict may be in two forms, constructive and destructive. Constructive conflict is when one level of conflict may key to up for superior performance while destructive conflict is intense or prolonged conflict. Too much conflict may cause worry or fear, hamper work performance, and in some cases led to physical and mental illness.…
