I think in life people will always have conflict. Conflict is
something that is unavoidable and sometimes happens on a daily basis. However, I
do not have a problem solving a conflict. Me being a male I think it is easier
to settle a conflict. When a conflict arises between me and someone or
something else I look at the big picture. I try to see what the situation is
and how I got myself into it. After that, I try to see both sides of the
conflict and see what the end result might be. I think one of the most
efficient ways to solve a conflict is realizing the big picture. Also, most of
the conflicts people have are made bigger than they actually are. In my opinion
people try to turn something bigger than it actually is, causing a major
conflict. I think if you stay calm and keep your cool you can solve every
conflict you are in. In a conflict you might also have to compromise even if
you don’t agree with what you are giving in to. Being flexible and not having
an ego is very important when trying to deal with a conflict. Sometimes in a
conflict I like to step away from the situation and take a “time out” allowing
me to clear my head and collect my thoughts.
I really enjoyed your post for many different reasons but especially the part about the bigger picture. I think that some situations are easy for us to over-react in and cause a conflict, but the big picture and avoiding the possible negative affects that the conflict may bring are important. Everyday we are going to faced with some sort of conflict; I think solving the problem as soon as possible and making amends with the person is very important if you do not want to lose your relationship with the person your in conflict with. Great post! I really enjoyed it and I can definitely relate.
ReplyDeleteSimba,
ReplyDeleteI really liked this. I think it is actually easier for men to look at the bigger picture because they do not get as emotionally invested in a conflict like women do. It is a lot hard for us women to not fly off the handle then I believe it to be for men. The importance of keeping cool and emotions in check can make a huge difference in conflict resolution.
