    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.…

    The truth of the matter is that our way of thinking towards a conflict influences our ability to resolve it. Furthermore, Mayer (2009) suggest that the establishment of a set of values serves as critical tools to interpret both sides of a conflict (Mayer, 2009). Speaking of both sides of the polarity, a successful conflict resolution also requires different analytical and interpersonal skills needed for an increase in our capacity to experience community and establish ourselves as autonomous (Mayer, 2015). However, managing conflict is challenging without a “clear focus” on our way of thinking, our set of values, or our interpersonal skills (Mayer, 2015).…

    Growing up, I noticed, when approached with conflict, my sisters and my mother would often state that they did not want to talk about it or would simply leave the room. I now have a phrase for this: the exit response. For us, the exit response was always temporary. If the problem was serious, it would eventually be brought back up; if it wasn’t, then things usually got better on its own. While my dad is often the first to use the voice response, I have noticed that my dad often chooses the loyalty response, too.…
