Communication
It is important to keep a constant flow of conversation when resolving a conflict. And to make sure each word said is understandable. Many times when people try to have a conversation they hear what they want to hear instead of what is actually being said. That’s why it is important to get feedback after the conversation (Pg. 10). -
Strategies for Resolving Conflict
Resolving conflict can be very difficult because there are so many barriers to that you have to face. One easy way to resolve a conflict is just by talking. Whether you are talking with a friend you got into a fight with or internal feelings, it is good to not use jargons which are very difficult words that are hard to understand. Make sure yourself and the other thing (person, feeling) can completely understand and interpret what is being said or felt. -
Barriers
One of the biggest barriers in communication is the psychological barrier. Almost everyone puts them and their feelings first. So when you are trying to talk to someone who is preoccupied with their own things, they might not be as responsive as they would on a day where they don’t have so much stuff on their plate (Pg. 11). -
Story
I have a friend who is very smart but she doesn’t apply herself. This year she decided to take two maths. She was doing fine until our first test where she did really bad. She wondered what she was doing wrong but she had not done any of her homework or the study guide. She could have prevented this from happening if she would have studied harder, or asked for help. And she could manage this better by asking for help when the class gets really hard next time.
