CONFLICTS
causes, cures, symptoms
not all conflict is bad
Sometimes as a society we introduce healthy amounts of conflict to promote the best we can, sport competitions bring the best out of athletes awards to musicians, almost every form of competition brings a sense of will power in competitors.
NFL teams compete to see who is the best.
Wanting to overcome their competitors they train to be the best they can be.
musicians have awards to motivate them to be great.
The Grammy's influence performers to thrive to keep finding the best sound they can get.
WINNING ISN'T EVERYTHING BUT WANTING TO WIN IS
Human nature is wanting to be the best at whatever we do, we naturally compete with each other. It helps us build upon and create more.
Conflict can however go astray
what does that mean.
Conflict becomes undesirable when it gets in the way of the goals of an individual, community or operation.
Protesters and rioters
Sure it is understandable when the people want to be heard, when the hierarchy has done wrong people want it corrected, nothing wrong with that. However there is the point where people overstep and the police have to get involved. This interrupts the company the protests and the police, if people get out of hand it dulls the competition.
Donald Trump
His threat to leave the republican party and run independently is an undesirable conflict. If this happens it almost destroys the overall goal of having a republican in office,by splitting the Republican vote he almost would guarantee a Democratic landslide.
Conflicts can turn from desirable to undesirable fast!
If a friendly competition to promote more work being done starts resolving in arguments and people doing ANYTHING to win this conflict heads south quick.
CONFLICT RESOLUTION
Avoidance
When you try and avoid conflict at all costs.
When a conflict arises in a meeting, the boss said, "there isn't a time and place for this" completely ignoring the situation being brought up by his employees.
Not the best strategy
COMPROMISE
Everyone involved in the conflict agrees on a mutually resolving solution.
During the course of events leading to the Civil War, there was a compromise called the Missouri Compromise, this separated states as slave holders and non-slave holder states.
leads to workable solution
WIN/LOSE
One person wins the other loses
This is demonstrated above in the "Donald Trump" area.
Most dangerous conflict.
