Throughout the Renaissance Era, many mistakes were made, and problems arose. One misconception after another accumulates into disputes and conflict. After a tragic event, it is human nature for individuals to place blame on those who are accountable for the outcome. In William Shakespeare’s drama, The Most Excellent and Lamentable Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, many are responsible for the outcome and are punished with justice. {One common belief is that Romeo and Juliet are at fault for their…
It seems that every day there is a new report about the latest act of terror or brutality occurring somewhere in the world. These events, though they are horrific to hear about, can be hard to grasp as they can seem very foreign or carry no personal connection. However, they are more globally connected than it seems. That connection is religion. Religion has become, just like talking politics at Thanksgiving, taboo. People are afraid to talk about it in fear of offending someone. The topic of…
Ideology Response This semester I have learned a lot throughout these chapters. I learned about politics and the inside of the functions on how they work to why they work that way. I have also learned that about where my classmates state and about myself with my point of view in politics. This response will talk about the “economic” and “social” dimensions and the issues that come with them. Also, my preference on liking one side more or less about government interactions. My views compared to…
War correspondents have one of the most dangerous jobs on earth. When controversy breaks out across the globe, it’s war correspondents who muster up the courage to go directly to the fighting and report the warfare; more specifically, they go to the heart of the controversial issue. This is where a war correspondent is most likely to get the declared truth for either side participating in the war. The core of the issue is the most dangerous place for anyone to be – especially, a non-fighting…
The relationship pattern of conflict is a relationship where the partners almost always disagree and credit all the blame and negative anxiety experienced in the relationship to their partner. I feel that Gilberts sums it up perfectly by describing conflict as two people who are locked in a pattern of emotional ping-pong (Gilbert, 1992, pg.45). Due to the conflict, more emotional anxiety is created. This anxiety often affects and impacts other relationships in the partner’s lives. In…
In the article, “Why Women Still Can’t Have it All” by Anne-Marie Slaughter, she blames the current structure of American society for the gender gap. Slaughter uses her personal experience on having a high-profile position in the government as evidence that balancing the responsibilities of a parent and a profession is impossible. Throughout the article Slaughter provides four solutions in order to produce a society that works for women. The first solution is redefining the arc of a successful…
What is Conflict? According to Shearouse (2011), conflict can be defined as “when what you want, need, or expect interferes with what I want, need or expect”. In addition, conflict is when people’s differences negatively affect the productivity, quality, service, or working relationship. Conflict is often seen as a negative thing, however research shows us it can improve productivity and performance and strengthen teamwork.

Module 1 Controversial Topics: Questioning Concepts & Impediments In a supplemental guide to your Nosich text, the critical thinking scholars explain that concepts are “ideas we use in thinking. They enable us to group things in our experience in different categories, classes, or divisions. They are the basis of labels we give things in our minds. They represent our mental map of the world telling us how things operate and what to expect of them. Through our concepts we define situations, events…
Almost everyone experiences a time in their life when they are certain they are correct and that everyone else is wrong. In William Golding’s book Lord of the Flies, a story about a group of young boys who are stranded on an island, the concept of one sidedness and disagreement between competing groups and people is illustrated multiple times. Through the use of symbolism, setting, and characterization, this book, Lord of the Flies, demonstrates that hunger for power can drive humanity to be…
