...Conflict Resolution and Peacemaking Paper Taisha Allen PSY 400 Carla Kuhlman 11/13/2014 In this paper I will be discussing about conflict resolution and peacemaking in this paper. Information will be used as a platform to analyze information based on social psychological perspective which provides a much clearer understanding of conflicts, peacemaking, techniques and resolutions. This paper will also work to develop a comprehensive understanding on how social interactions will influence the ability to deal with many conflicts and create resolution in a group dynamic. Conflict Resolution and Peacemaking Conflict is a very common part of social interaction and human life. A conflict is basically an understood incompatibility of actions or goals between two or more people (Myers, 2010). Many people have a very difficult time, regardless of age, in finding adequate solution for resolving conflicts. To develop a solution it is often very helpful to understand how to go about finding the solution first. For example by following a few basic steps it is often more tangible to reach a solution to almost any problem rather than create an increasingly difficult work environment. Most people and societies do not establish methods that teach children or adults about the changing nature of conflict and peacemaking based upon societal differences (Rossi, 2003).

...Running head: CASE Case Study: Learning Programs in the American Express Learning Network Nanine Barnes MBA 525 Saint Leo University Saint Leo, Florida In all business environments, conflict resolution and counseling is a must. At one point or another, conflicts will arise between coworkers. It is best to have policies, procedures and guidelines in all businesses established to help overcome these issues. It is also important to have a leader that exhibits the qualities of strong leadership and intrapersonal strengths. Effective listening skills, assertiveness and strong communication skills are also a must for a leader who can help bridge a conflict gap and point employees into the right direction. In a board sense, conflict resolution can exist between disagreements, between two individuals, companies involved in litigation or even countries seeking support to the highest level such as the United Nations. The common denominator between all these examples is the need for an outside intervention to solve the issues at hand. The first step in addressing conflict resolution is to identify the source of the issue and the parties involved. As a leader in the business world, it is important to fine tune your intrapersonal skills to indentify when this issues arise. A experienced leader will act fast to resolve the conflict before it spreads throughout the department like a cancer. A conflict can be brought to a manager’s attention...

...Team-Building exercise for Conflict Resolution Stephanie Wynn BUS610: Organizational Behavior Peggy Morrison December 5, 2011 Conversely, there is differencing of elements that makes up a team. A group has arrived to a team status when leadership becomes a shared activity. To become an effective leader an individual must possess the skill of competency. The role of accountability shifts from strictly individual to both individual and collective. (Kinicki, and Kreitner, 2009). The responsibility of leadership will exemplify the traits to delegate responsibilities amongst members. A common goal of the team is to form a vision or mission statements between their peers. This will establish a clear vision as to what the team wishes to build upon. Forming a sense of commitment among the team, problem solving becomes a part of life as opposed to a part-time movement. Finally the effectiveness of the team is measured by the group’s collective outcomes. Further, weighing the pro’s and cons to involvement of groups in decision making process can be cost effective. Research confirms that groups outperform the average individual by a long run. Therefore, our text mentions five important issues to consider when utilizing groups to making team building decisions. Groups are less effective than any one individual. The concept “two head are better than one” rings very clear in an environment setting. A group who presents the elements of over-confidence can foster “groupthink”. Our...

...Abstract Regardless of situations in one’s life there comes a time when they are going to be faced with conflict. Conflict is inevitable, even in a marriage. However, it is how the conflict in a marriage that will determine how it affects the longevity of the marriage and the effects it has on any children involved and if the affects become detrimental to the parties involved.

This paper will discuss how conflict in marriage affects those involved as well as the longevity of the marriage itself. Studies have shown that conflict and disagreements within a marriage have and affect or couples and the relationships versus couples who are willing to confront their issues and talk their problems out. Individuals were studied over a ten day period using two separate groups to see how they dealt with conflict. The first group consisted of 128 individuals and their conflicts for a ten day period were recorded. The second group consisted of 75 couples in a laboratory setting. The couples were monitored to see how they related to their mate and how they responded to conflict in which they faced. This was to measure the commitment level of each of the mates before the discussions they had and after their discussions...

...Conflict Resolution In conflict resolution there are several ways it can be accomplished this paper will take three situations and give a descriptive manner in which they can be resolved. In this paper we will also describe how these situations would relate to our work experiences and how they were resolved for each situation. Story Book #1 When a team member is trying to avoid resolution of an issue through changing bad news to sound good, the best way to manage this situation is to address the problem through face to face meeting. This enables the manager and team to identify and confront the issue through an open discussion (Robbins & Judge, 2013). Chances are there is more than one person that is aware of the problem, by using the open discussion and explaining that there is not one person at fault the discussion can be carried on and the issue can be resolved. The open discussion amongst the team will also give the leader the opportunity to encourage and engage the team members, this engagement will help to open the lines of communication between the team member and the tem and the leader. Story Book # 2 In teams it is never easy to keep information flowing, however it must be done to be transparent with the team. The strategy that best fits my style is to be direct with the issue. When communicating a negative message, it is important to be concise and explain the issue directly so that there is no misunderstanding. This might create some anxiety among the members...

...Jenn Hoffman Human Capital Essay #2 MGT344 Organizational Behavior August 4, 2013 Introduction: The purpose of this paper is to discuss what role conflict plays in the workplace. Conflict can be defined in a few different ways. “Conflict is an expressed struggle between at least two interdependent parties who perceive incompatible goals, scare resources, and interference from others in achieving their goals” (Definition of Conflict). Conflict is bound to happen, and to occur even in the most stable companies. Conflicts can be both positive and negative influences in a workplace. Constructive conflict creates a productive and safe place. Unresolved conflicts on the other hand, creates a hostile environment leading to a reduction in productivity. Conflict can be divided into multiple categories. Conflicts often occur when there are conflicting choices or people want different things. Changes within an organization can also create conflict. Finding a solution to reach a good solution is how conflicts are resolved. Conflict in the workplace is largely a result of changes. Employees often are required to adjust to new rules, management and locations. Tenure employees may refuse to break old habits and experience difficulties adjusting to new guidelines. All of these changes will create conflict. Being prepared to deal with the conflict is the important part. Change means something familiar is replaced with something new. These changes can cause employees to be emotional...

But people with smart phones, PC’s and other technological innovations can be seen in every place. Is it true that nobody is reading paper books in the world anymore? Some people say that e-books are more ecological and useful because there is no need to waste paper. However, others have a different opinion, and think that nothing can replace traditional books. Some people argue that there is no need in paper books anymore, while others people argue that there is need in paper books, and that it is more beneficial than e-books. There are two main words that need to be defined: traditional books and e-books. Today, most of the people are familiar with the term book. On a daily basis humans are using books for information, studying, researching or just for reading during their leisure time. A book is defined by Oxford dictionary as “a written or printed work consisting of pages glued or sewn together on one edge and bound in covers”.

...Conflict Resolution and Peacemaking Paper By Jeffrey K. Kelley University of Phoenix Psy/400 Professor Sherri Sedler Biblical Tips and Tools for Conflict resolution: Conflict is all around us, in our homes, churches, communities and work environment. How we handle each conflict will determine whether we strengthen our relationship or break it up. Each situation can be dealt with in a way that can bring healing to a relationship instead of animosity and further pain. Often conflict is looked upon as a negative experience that many refuse to take part in because of poor conflict management skills but if both parties are willing to sit down and talk it can have a positive outcome. When conflict is dealt with correctly and successfully from the start then there will be a greater understanding from each individual involved and an increased likelihood of unity and an improved relationship. “It strikes me as a bit more than ironic that theological education requires certification in Pastoral counseling but absolutely no training in conflict management.” Dr. David Roozen. The Disturbing Trend in the USA Research conducted by the Barna Group has revealed two stunning facts: (1) not only is the majority of the nation's non-churched population comprised of people who consider themselves Christians, but that (2) about four out of ten of these stopped attending due to a "painful" or otherwise "negative" ordeal.
