People can best respond to conflict by being nice and polite. Some people call this peaceful protest, showing that they stand against something without involving violence. This is what happens in both I am Malala and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. The characters stand against the violent ways of resolving conflict even though violence is happening around them. People should respond to conflict by not being violent, but instead showing compassion and kindness.…
Conflict could mean many things, conflict can be seen external and internal, such as the mental struggle of a person, such as opposing needs, wishes, or internal and external demands.

When you go through life, you will be facing some problems or conflicts. As you are facing those conflicts, it is good to have a positive attitude towards it. You should have a positive attitude when responding to conflict is because in First Read: Dear Miss Breed had a character named Louise that was staying positive the whole time throughout the conflict they had to face. The conflict they faced was having to live through hiding from the Nazis from capturing them and concentration camps they were put in because of their religion and what they believed in (Jewish). Even our biggest leaders had positive perspectives through the conflicts that they had faced.…
The TedTalk was really inspiring and was a great perspective on conflict. This is definitely the first time I have ever learned about conflict being a positive instead of a negative. I liked this viewpoint because it helps encourage a more positive lifestyle and it gives proof of how conflict can be used for good. At the end of the video, the speaker mentioned how conflict is always with us even for a whole week, which is then a whole week of our lives spent worrying about this conflict. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the ways to turn conflict into something that can serve others and drive extraordinary innovations as mentioned in the video.…

“Conflict builds character,” as often said by authors, readers, and others alike-- but perhaps some authors build character through the use of conflict better than others, like Edgar Allan Poe (author of many, many short stories and poems but for the sake of this essay, “The Tell-Tale Heart” and “The Masque of the Red Death”) and Jack London (the author of Call of the Wild), for example. “The Tell-Tale Heart” is the story of a man who kills another, due to being bothered by the the other’s defected eye; “The Masque of the Red Death,” on the other hand, is a story about a prince who leaves his people to fend for themselves when the land is plagued with disease by going into solitude. The Call of the Wild is the story of a dog, taken from his home during the Alaskan Gold Rush to work as a sled dog. Thus, through use…
Swimming Upstream I for one can honestly say that I do not like conflict and try to avoid confrontation. I feel as if that most people don’t like to be in arguments and don’t enjoy making people unhappy. For instance, on the morning that Mr. Messerschmidt and his friend took action and supported the old man cleaning up the glass, nobody even flinched at the actions of the two men in fear of supporting the less physically popular ideal. Physically no one moved, but I don’t think that there is any way that anyone in that crowd didn’t smile inside or have a seed of hope for their situation. Being different is hard and often times draws attention to yourself.…
Overall, this movie was gruesome but showed those who could stomach it how much the holocaust as well as World War Two took over people’s lives, made them obsessed, and ultimately killed; even if this was unknown by many. The Boy in Striped Pajamas was a spectacular film, providing great entertainment and lots of insight towards the horrors of the…
1. In the film, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, the concepts of person perception, cultural and personal identities and persuasive qualities are demonstrated through Bruno and Shmuel’s friendship. We can see person perception through the two boys because at their age to each other the other is just another boy their age that they can play with in a place where they are all alone. They have none of the prejudices or assumptions about each other that those older than them would have casted on each other. Cultural and personal identity is seen through Bruno wanting to be just like his father when he is pretending to be one of the German fighter planes with his friend.…

The Diary of a Young Girl and "Blood, Toil, Tears, and Sweat." Simply being a more positive person can help someone respond better to conflict.

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.…
