3 Chinese Philosophies to resolve conflict

The Enemies of the Western Way: A Communist and Fascist Perspective “The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win.” ( Marx, s.4). In Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels's revolutionary work, “ The Communist Manifesto” they speak of an egalitarian utopia in which the conflict between classes that was once the inherent cause of oppression transforms into the driving force for change (Marx, 3.2). The Manifesto paints a vivid picture of a constant battle between the bourgeoisie (the capitalists) and the proletariat (the workers) that can only be resolved through the uprising of the proletariat to achieve a state of communal work and benefit that stems from the equality of all it’s citizens (Marx, c.3. ). One might argue that fascism serves as this system’s adversary by preaching ideals of oppression, inequality, and dictatorship (“fascism”). Others might retort that while the two systems appear to be different in theory,…

Since Laozi thought all the problems and chaos are caused by the complex interpersonal relationships and acute social conflicts. Laozi said “If you overesteem great men, people become powerless. If you overvalue possessions, people begin to steal. The Master leads by emptying people’s minds and filling their cores, by weakening their ambition and toughening their resolve.” (Mitchell 1988, 3) Therefore, he wanted to go back to the primitive life that people won’t fight or have conflicts with each…

opportunity for new ways of thinking and new experiences. Because conflicts are an integral part of human interaction, one should learn to manage them: to deal with them in a way that prevents escalation and destruction, and arrives at new, innovative, and creative ideas to resolve them. Much can be learned about the different ways in which conflicts have been prevented in the past. In older societies, resolving disputes was considered a unique ability reserved for the wise and the elders of the…

These events, even though generally seen as crises and negative, Gardner et al. (2005) believe that positive event can also bring about development in leadership. In Mr Liang’s life, some trigger event might probably be his decision of going away from his village in Borneo to Jakarta to seek job opportunity and the first time he opens his own business not long after. • Opinion on ‘Trigger events’ For me trigger events can be seen as a motivation, seeing how far he has come from the beginning,…

Unfortunately, some companies have mismanaged their greatest asset—their brands. This is what befell the popular Snapple brand almost as soon as Quaker Oats bought the beverage marketer for $1.7 billion in 1994. Snapple had become a hit through powerful grassroots marketing and distribution through small outlets and convenience stores. Analysts said that because Quaker did not understand the brand’s appeal, it made the mistake of changing the ads and the distribution. Snapple lost so much…

He turned a little sideways in his chair to drink his mug of coffee. At the table on his left the man with the strident voice was still talking remorselessly away. A young woman who was perhaps his secretary, and who was sitting with her back to Winston, was listening to him and seemed to be eagerly agreeing with everything that he said. From time to time Winston caught some such remark as 'I think you're so right, I do so agree with you', uttered in a youthful and rather silly feminine voice.…
