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.…
Hey Haleigh, I really enjoyed reading your post. I agree with Karl Marx, that society is determined by economic organization, particularly the ownership of property. In today's society, people think power is everything. People with power, think they can get alway with anything. In my opinion, it should not matter if you are rich or poor, everyone should be treated equally.…
There is a big difference between conflicts and challenging behaviors, especially in the classroom. Conflict is “an expressed disagreement between children, usually involving property, territory, and/or privilege; or a mistaken behavior by a child or children, disagreed with by a teacher” (Gartrell, 2014, p. 512). Conflict is a natural and daily occurrence. While challenging behavior is define as “conflicts that cause harm or serious disruption; the term often connotes a continuing pattern of such conflicts shown by individual children” (Gartrell, 2014, p. 511). Challenging behavior is not usually found as an everyday occurrence.…
Social-conflict shows society as an arena. The way some cultures and races are treated compared to others is the best example of social conflict. In the 1960’s, the south saw white as dominant and black as unimportant. They had separate restrooms; separate busses and the payment for jobs between the races did not match. The stratification in the sixties made the two races see each other differently.…
While working at Apria Healthcare being in management I have talked to irate patients and employees daily. Here at in my current job as a Senior Assistant CSR in the Escalation department most of my calls are from upset patient, parent, caregiver, of Doctor Office. Using my conflict resolution skills is the best way to deal with conformational people. I start off by letting them know I am here to help and then I precede by asking them to calmly explain the problem so I that we can come up with a solution. By letting them know I’m here to help and not fight or argue with them helps foster trust with the person.…

How did your mindsets contribute to the situation’s successes and its failings? The mindsets that were guiding my communication and conflict-handling strategies during this situation was the reflective, analytical, collaborative and action.…
Some strategies that we have learned from the course material worked well. For example, our several strategies, which is mainly from the class lecture and the “Distributive Bargaining” article, including lowballing, flinching, using silence, good cop-bad cop, and taking time, really helped us to induce our counterpart to release their information, convince them, and reach the favorable outcome. For my future negotiation, I may need to care counterpart’s emotion while maintaining my composure. The biggest failure that leads us to a rupture of our 1985 negotiation was emotional conflicts.…
That conflicts will occur in the workplace is a given. Even though everyone comes together for a common purpose, different personality types and conflicts styles impact how and if those conflicts can be resolved. HealthAmerica is no exception. Clarinda Peterson and Kyle Brandon failed in adjusting for their different personalities, did not practice effective listening skills and could have utilized the PUGGS model of conflict management. Leveraging their differences rather than ignoring them would have made for a different outcome in their meeting over nursing staff issue.…

Conflict Among Nurses This writer has had her fair share of conflict situations with her colleagues in the workplace. Thus, results of some studies that viewed conflict as expected occurrences in health care settings did not come as a surprise. Brinkert (2010) described conflict in such phrases as “pervasive in nursing… a routine feature of nursing…” (p. 145).…
Conflict is inevitable and, in the high stakes of health care, patient care can be negatively affected by destructive conflict**. Personal and professional stressors can cause any number of disagreements between bosses, staff, and subordinates. Conflicts could have an affect on the care given to patients if not resolved correctly and efficiently. Not all conflict is bad, in most cases conflict can be healthy and even has the opportunity to improve relationships, stimulate creativity, and inspire new ways of doing things. Because healthcare has a variety of interpersonal relationships with people with differing backgrounds, goals, beliefs, and values conflict is an expected outcome**.…
Positivity During Conflict Positivity will never fail to boost a person during a rough time. It can help a group of people keep their mind on what they are fighting for. The way people can keep their chin up, and keep persevering during a rough time is through positivity. While being negative can help a person think about the situation at hand, being positive can spread to others like wildfire, Winston Churchill gave his people the positive attitude he had about winning the war in his speech Blood, Toil, Tears, and Sweat, and Anne Frank stayed positive while in hiding and got through two years of enclosure. Times of conflict can really affect a person’s attitude on what is going on.…
Interpersonal conflicts are part of everyday life and can be seen from minor disagreements with friends, families, spouses, and others to major disputes, which may be deciding factors for the future of certain relationships (Fernandez, 2008). An interpersonal conflict is a struggle between two people because they have conflicting goals or needs or because of some misunderstanding (Beebe, Beebe, and Redmond, 2005). In the episode “The Car, The Car” from the television show Everybody Loves Raymond, Raymond and Debra (husband and wife) negotiate with their parents (Frank and Marie) about the price of an old car (Frank's car), while arguing about rather it is worthy to keep the car. Frank tells Raymond and Debra that he is selling his 1972 Plymouth Valiant, and Raymond said he wants it because Debra needs a car to run her errands while they are saving up to buy a new minivan, and another reason is that because Raymond has a wonderful and special memory about his father's car.…
