Conflict esolution
Valerie is caught in an approach -- avoidance conflict (Miller, 1944). She seeks to confront Thomas regarding the rumor that she has heard that Thomas is spending time with a female colleague, yet at the same time she is apprehensive regarding approaching him about the issue because if she does so and the rumors not true Thomas will be upset by her mistrust. Thus, she has motivation to approach Thomas concerning the issue and at the same time is motivated to avoid the issue. According to Miller (1944) when involved in an approach avoidance conflict one will reach a standstill until either the gradient approach becomes steeper or the gradient of avoidance becomes flatter (the positive aspects of approach outweigh the negative aspects of avoiding the issue).

Given that this is a budding personal relationship and that Valerie has strong feelings for Thomas it is important that the situation be…...

Some of the most productive areas in terms of copper are the Gimbi, Jawando and Mavo in Wase LGA. This region is accredited to be the richest region in terms of natural minerals and holds commercially viable mineral levels like the copper deposits, Gypsum, Hard ock, limestone, calcite strantonite, and Galena (Sterlington esources, 2014). These rich deposits have been another central cause of conflict and violence especially directed towards the Taroh of Wase LGAwith the guise of sharing out the proceeds of the resources. It also has seen the hostilities that have been directed towards the creation and stability of the Kadarko Chiefdom since the Hausa and Fulani feel that the mineral deposits need to be shared equally among all the tribes surrounding the region and the creation of the Chiefdom would alienate them from the proceeds. However, more worrying is the intention and action of the clandestine groups…...

Conflict Resolution
The objective of this study is to examine conflict resolution and to describe a situation where conflict resolution has been encountered related to nursing and how the situation was handled. This work in writing will identify any patterns of behavior and the applicable of patterns to any other conflict situations and provide supporting evidence. Steps that could be taken to improve the situation will be outlined as well as what has been learned about conflict resolution and negotiation.

The work of Johansen (2012) entitled "Keeping the Peace: Conflict Management Strategies for Nurse Managers" states that handling conflicts "in an efficient and effective manner results in improved quality, patient safety, and staff morale, and limits work stress for the caregiver." (p.1) It is important that the nurse manager approach this challenge in a thoughtful manner since it involves "working relationships that are critical for the unit to function effectively -- the…...

The second factor affecting the success of the process of conflict resolution is race. Race is recognized via skin tone, facial characteristics and accent etc. Race can make the process of conflict resolution more complicated and thus it may affect the success negatively. Sometimes, race may be the sole reason behind the conflict and in that case, extreme care must be exercised in order to avoid the extension of the conflict. (Povenmire 2008, pp. 17-43)

In addition to that, culture is also important in a person's life. It may affect the success negatively if the cultural values of either of the parties are not kept in mind. The conflict will be exacerbated if any party feels that their culture is being insulted. (Povenmire 2008, pp. 17-43)

Moreover, power also plays an important role in the success of the conflict resolution. Power differences are the root cause of all…...

Conflict esolution in North Ireland and Cyprus
Describe what Lederach means by the concept of moral imagination in the field of conflict resolution

Moral imagination is dealing with real world challenges. During this process innovative ideas will establish new philosophies and movements. To achieve these objectives a number of criteria must be me: a web of relationships exist between different parties, the ability to sustain the interests of stakeholders, the desire to create something new and acceptance of the risks associated with unknown outcomes. This is illustrating how the field of conflict resolution can transform the way the various sides are looking at a host of events and their underlying meaning. (Lederach, 2012)

Conflict esolution
To strike a balance between personal and professional life is a can of worms. In personal and professional life both, an individual meets numerous people. Some become acquaintances, some become friends, some become competitors and some become enemies. New relations are made every day, leaving old ones behind. In such a situation to maintain a balance between all relations is a hard nut to crack. Although these individuals have their own priorities, one thing is common in all of them; they all want to be taken care of, want to be understood and supported in all major decisions of life (Newsom et al., 2008).

There can be situations when an individual disagrees with his partner or family members over certain matters. For example, disagreement between parents and children is quite common. Children would want to try something risky and exciting and parents will always prove to be an obstacle in…...

Conflict esolution: Scenario Analysis
The purpose of this research paper is to find theories and ways on how people deal with conflict on a smaller scale.

Conflict arises from differences. It occurs whenever people disagree over their values, motivations, perceptions, ideas, or desires. A deep personal need is at the core of the problem, such as a need to feel safe and secure, a need to feel respected and valued, or a need for greater closeness and intimacy. The table below summarizes ways of managing conflicts by Unhealthy responses to conflict

Healthy responses to conflict

An inability to recognize and respond to the things that matter to the other person

The capacity to recognize and respond to the things that matter to the other person

Explosive, angry, hurtful, and resentful reactions

Calm, non-defensive, and respectful reactions

The withdrawal of love, resulting in rejection, isolation, shaming, and fear of abandonment

A readiness to forgive and forget, and to move past…...

3.5. Conciliatory Approach:

This is the approach that helps in retaining the long-term relations where sometimes you agree with people and sometimes make them agree with you. Human behavior has the tendency to void every situation and rule. If a person is moving with the approach of conciliation, that is known as the state of compromise in other words. Then one can have long lasting and content relationships. Trust is the important factor that will eliminate control and autonomous behavior at home and at the workplace, even it helps to build a strong relationship. Compromise is also a two way cycle. Sometimes one does and sometimes the other. But if…...

Conflict esolution
According to Forsyth, D.. (2009), conflict resolution can be described as the techniques as well as processes undertaken in smoothing the progress of the nonviolent conclusion of disagreement. Over and over again, dedicated members of a group make efforts to come up with a solution to a group conflicts by enthusiastically relaying information regarding their conflicting intentions or beliefs to the entire group and by engaging in joint give and take like situation. Eventually, an extensive variety of methods as well as procedures for tackling conflict are available, together with but not restricted to, give and take, arbitration, diplomacy, as well as artistic tranquility building.

This word conflict resolution may in a way or the other be used interchangeably with dispute resolution, where adjudication as well as litigation procedures are gravely implicated. In addition, the notion of conflict resolution can be well deliberated to take account of the use of…...

The author points out employees will "give in to demands, even unreasonable ones, to avoid disagreement." Finally, some employees choose collaboration to resolve problems. The author asserts that collaboration involves being interested in ensuring that the desires of all team members are met. Employees that implement this type of conflict resolution tend to be solution oriented and the resolution to the conflict often results in a remedy that neither party held before to the collaboration (Pilgrim).
Some of the aforementioned resolutions to conflict can be detrimental in both the short and the long run because they can create hostility; this is true of both the competing and accommodating style of conflict resolution. Once employees can effectively deal with conflict the organization experiences growth because both employees and managers are able to see issues from various perspectives.

For the purpose of this discussion we focused on conflict resolution in the workplace. We…...

Conflict Resolution
It is common knowledge that the utilization of conflict resolution offers the essential plans to cut down arguments and encourages nonviolent clarifications. Melinda G. Lincoln (2001) elaborates on this point by asserting, "Diffusing heated arguments, identifying issues, setting emotions aside, and learning new ways to communicate enables the disputants to incorporate the processes and problem-solving skills of mediation, negotiation, and collaboration. The impact of illustrating, modeling, and blending conflict resolution education and communication skills facilitates the use of valuable listening and reasoning skills. Analytical thinking, re-framing main issues, and empathizing or understanding another's point-of-view creates an atmosphere of tolerance for successful negotiation and agreement to take place in a peaceful society (Melinda G. Lincoln, 2001)."

Kimberley Strom-Gottfried (1998) provides a comprehensive definition of "conflict." She writes, "Conflict is variously defined as a direct disagreement of ideas or interests, a battle or struggle, antagonism or opposition, and incompatibility and interference (Kimberley…...

Conflict esolution in the Middle East
History of the AAB-ISAELI conflict

The Palestinian Arab and Jews rivalry is of recent origin that started on the eve of 20th century. Even though both of them have different religions the religious diversity is not considered to be the reasons of such rivalry. This is necessarily a struggle over the territory. The territory claimed by both the groups till 1948 was known as Palestine. However, during the period following the war of 1948-49 the territory concerned was split into three portions: the state of Israel, the West Bank of the Jordan iver and the Gaza Strip. This small territory comprises of about 10,000 square miles which is considered of equal size with that of the state of Maryland. The conflicting claims of the groups are not capable of being resolved if a group exerts political control over the total territory. The claim of Jews is…...

To the extent an organization can embed or internalize these values is often a barometer or measure of how resilient they can also be in the face of rapid and turbulent change (Nguyen, Mohamed, 2011). The connection of conflict resolution and management is a catalyst of organizational stability, resilience, and it time of rapid change, agility in the face of disruptive forces reshaping their markets. That is why, from a strategic level, paying attention to these issues and concerns is so critical.
The three Major Conflict esolution Strategies proposed by the author are: interest-based, rights-based, and power-based strategies.

Interest-based, rights-based and power-based strategies all have specific roles in the broader strategies of conflict mediation and resolution that many companies face while competing in turbulent economic environments (Jameson, 1999).

Hammer has to acknowledge that current methods are not working, the situation has become worse and something has to be done before the hospital has legal action brought against them or lose their licensure. A combination of methods could be utilized. One, Hammer should utilize teams; give those teams specific functions to cut down on time and money. Open communication and make sure that he is available to staff that have issues and concerns so that in the event there are any future issues that can be addressed immediately and resolved. One big step would be to acknowledge that the problem was not created overnight, so therefore it will not be correct overnight.

Conflict esolution in Healthcare
Whose responsibility is conflict resolution within the healthcare setting?

Conflict resolution in the healthcare setting is often the responsibility of an Alternative Dispute esolution (AD) specialist or an arbitrator, who works within the healthcare community in a wide variety of conflict resolution cases. Some large healthcare institutions are finding it helpful to staff their own neutral internal mediator who is always available for conflict resolution. As these experts note, "Conflict within the healthcare industry is not confined to singular disputes with external entities. ather, it evolves from a variety of sources and differs significantly depending on whether the source(s) originates within an organizational framework or a clinical environment" (Hayes et al., p. 2). Because there are such a wide variety of issues and conflicts facing the healthcare industry, there are also specific skills necessary to be an effective and fair AD specialist, which is why most healthcare organizations…...
