Introduction

In 1981, the first publication of getting Getting to Yes came out and since then it has been translated into many languages. In 1983, authors Ury, Patton and Fisher founded the Harvard project for Negotiation based on their seminar work on conflict resolution. With time they have been engaged in international and national negotiations, the central focus is the certainty that conflict resolution and negotiation skills are highly required in our world in all levels, from communities to international relations and individuals through families.

Ury and Fisher have explained that good arguments need to be efficient and wise, and ...

The chapter 13 of the book The Introduction to Psychology focuses on how people perceive other people and think about them. This is known as social cognition. The interaction of people in groups also determines their social behavior. If I apply this to my understanding, I believe that an attitude plays a significant role in this regard as this helps us in determining how we process information and perceive the situation. If the social situation is ambiguous of course, it will determine how an individual think and this thinking will be restricted to the situation one encounters.
If an ...

It is not always smooth all the way at the family level when it comes to making decisions. Every family member has their interests and perceptions of life, which help them, make personal choices and decisions. The same can be said about Sonny’s Blues by James Baldwin. While reading the story, it is natural that the story can elicit feelings and thoughts in similar situations in real life cases just as events unfold in the story. The two brothers, Sonny and the narrator have different paths that they have chosen in life, just like it can happen to ...

Atwood’s Main message
As a visionary writer, Atwood has authored many books. What is common in Atwood’s books is that she attempts to put across one message over and over again. This is the message on the woman’s voice in the society. Atwood effectively passes this message in a unique manner by reconstructing her version out of ancient myth stories. Old pieces of literature were synonymous with stories of feminist exploitation. The society of the time was characterized with giving a woman no chance whatsoever. They had no say in most society matters even by a little ...

Not until I stepped in the Negotiation and Conflict Resolution class did I realise that conflicts, negotiations and therefore their resolutions are everywhere and happen every time in everybody’s life. I had perceived that they only happened in highly profiled talks such as those that involve rebel groups and the government or between ever-worrying states such as Israel and Palestine or America and Iran. I was wrong. I have learnt that so long as there are differences between individuals or groups of people conflicts will be present. As an aspiring diplomat, I had always been wondering about the ...

International Humanitarian Law

International Humanitarian Law
The International Humanitarian Law also known as the Law of Armed Conflicts or the Laws of War has rules that control armed conflicts. It controls the way war is conducted. The law seeks to protect people who do not take part in the warfare. International Humanitarian Law recognizes two types of conflict: international armed conflicts and non-international armed conflicts. A crucial distinction should be made between the two conflicts.
Non-international conflicts are covered in the Common Article 3 of the 1949 Geneva Conventions and the 1977 Additional Protocol II. Article 13(2) of Additional ...

Question one

Ideas on the role of the media in political conflicts have taken the form of advocacy in terms of mitigation that is based on agenda setting role of the media. In a sense, the media is regarded as the body that decides to place attention on particular political conflict thereby making it a matter of interest. Wolfsfeld, Segev and Sheafer conclude that the role of the media can be best understood from the perspective of developing an understanding of the implications of political factors. Later one can infer on the role of the media given the influences and dynamics in the ...

International Laws

Questions One:
International laws in order of priority in line with their importance to international politics, in this paper’s view, are as follows: public international law, conflict of laws, international criminal law, international humanitarian law, international law of war, international arms control, international environmental law and international trade law, the law of the sea and international financial law.
Public international law concerns itself with the state responsibilities as among states and other international personalities. Conflict of laws deals with issues of jurisdiction where international parties of different jurisdictions are involved. International criminal law concerns itself with ...

The Marxism theory is the cornerstone of all relationships, but suggests that the economy can bring power, while the conflict theory is only the cornerstone of all relationships. They both advocate for social relationships, but the latter does not support the issue that power can only be gained by economics. Conflict theory is an alternative of functionalism, and it gives a macro sociological perspective (Bartos & Wehr, 2002).
It brings out the elements that are normally constant in the society, and these are hostility and resentment. Power is different in the different levels of social status. Resources are also fought ...

A review of the relationship between the church and state, especially during the medieval period, gives us an insight on the tug of war that existed between the two institutions and how both tried to win over the lives of people during that period in history. Furthermore, the relationship of these two institutions gives us an idea on how to understand Western traditional of government as a whole. From the 11th to the 14th century, Europe was in an uneasy state. These were centuries marked by conflict and warfare both within the kingdoms and outside the borders that a serious effect ...

Introduction

Culture is a critical aspect in any society because it can act as the pillar of unifying a community during a crisis or a conflict. The successful ousting of presidents in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and other countries in the Middle East during the 2011 Arab Uprising had a strong backing of Arabic and Islamic culture. 90% of Egypt’s 80 million people are Muslims and the Islamic culture unified the citizens during the 2011 uprising that removed Hosni Mubarak prom power.
Culture united and motivated millions of Egyptians to achieve common objectives. The Quran, upon which most of Egypt’s culture is based, promises ...

In the 2008 film Die Welle (The Wave) directed by Dennis Gansel and produced by Rat Pack Film and Christian Becker, high school teacher Rainer Wenger (portrayed by Jürgen Vogel) challenged his students about the possibility of an authoritarian government in modern Germany. To prove its possibility, he provoked his students to being his blind Nazi followers while he plays as the dictator "Herr Wenger". It was an experiential experiment gone astray but a subtle and touching revelation on the transcendence of fascism in contemporary time.
For Rainer, it started as an innocent class strategy in teaching Autocracy ...

Ethics

White (2008) states that while a social worker is expected to uphold the interest of his or her client, there are various situations that may challenge this ideal objective. The conflicts of interest may arise when the interest of the social worker interfere with the attention of the needs and interest of the client, whether it may be for personal, financial, occupational, sexual or spiritual motives. The conflict may also take place when the tension arises in upholding the rights of several parties to whom the social worker owes loyalty. The NASW Code mandates the all social workers should be ...

Speech Analysis – Representations of the Israeli/Palestinian Conflict

The Israeli-Palestine Conflict is a complex political situation spanning nearly a century, with great divides in ideology and perspective on either side of this escalating situation. In the wake of sectarian violence and widening gulfs in culture and religion, it is difficult to find a way out of this process. The road to peace is a rocky one, and nowhere is this more acutely exemplified than in the rhetoric of the respective representatives at the UN, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Through their respective addresses to the United States Congress and the United Nations, the differences in perspective ...

Question 1

Do women live longer than men?
The dependent variable is death. The life span of individuals depends on several factors. As years go by the age of an individual goes up and death comes nearer. The independent variable is gender.

The gender of an individual is fixed and does not change with age.

The kind of data needed to answer this question is ratio comparing the age at which most men die to that at which most women die. This kind of information can be obtained by visiting hospitals and inquiring the records of patients who die in a year (National Institutes of Health 2000). It can also be obtained by interviewing members ...

Cognitive dissonance definitely illustrates the context under which discomfort is experienced by an individual due to fact that one holds 2 or more conflicting cognitions or rather emotional reactions. It is particularly disappointing and distressing if people find themselves doing things that are questionable and one finds them rather weird, if they do things that do not fit them.
In relation to the creativity I shall view my project and base it on the conflict theory which explains the essence of the role of p-owner and cohesion in the process of producing a social order. The project I am ...

The business environment is characterized with various complex business activities and processes that result to conflicts. For example, the most prevalent conflict concept in most of the organization around the globe is the conflict between an organization and the unions of workers. This is based on various employees’ conditions and terms such the enumerations among other factors. However, there are various other conflicts that arise from the business activities and processes like competing firms that lead to the formation of cartels, conflicts on prices with suppliers, among others (Deutsch Coleman & Marcus 2011, p. 26).

Paradigms

A paradigm is a system of belief or theory that serves as guide to the way we do things or, our value and beliefs (Stolley, 2005). Paradigm may range from patterns of thought to action .Paradigms are seen as perspectives that allow social scientists to have broad range of tools to describe society, and to create hypotheses and theories(Stolley ,2005).

Internal and External challenges a Manager Faces

Internal challenges a manager faces can be at a personal level and an organization level. Internal organizational challenges may include reducing the number of staff, having to work with a reduced budget, dealing with a reduction in sales, having to handle the consequences of newly implemented technology that has failed, hiring the right and qualified individuals, firing underperforming employees, how to deal with outstanding employees. Personal challenges may include behavior challenges. For instance, how does one respond to crisis? This could be inform of temper or understanding or may be showing empathy in cases where there is loss of life.

Several aspects from Chapter Six, “Conflict Management” of Robert Palestini’s book and Vuyisile Msila’s article, “Conflict Management and School Leadership” seem to coincide. Both authors seem to agree that school administrators need to essentially develop the ability and skill to successfully reduce and resolve conflict. According to Palestini, “conflict can be viewed as dysfunctional for organizations” (Palestini, 2011, p.113) and Msila agrees that "unmanaged conflict can create dysfunctional schools” (Msila, 2012, p.27). Therefore, it can be concluded that since “[c]onflict can have functional [] outcomes” (Palestini, 2011, p.112), capitalizing on these outcomes for the good of everyone ...

Rapp and Kurby (n. d. as cited in Gilbert, 2008, p. 25) define visualization as “any form of physical presentation designed to make an abstract concept visible”. It usually entails focusing of attention on an imagined or real object. It involves cognitive brain processes. The concept has wide application in fields such as psychology and education. In this paper, I will evaluate my feelings of a visualization experience and describe what can be learnt from such an experience.
In my case, I found visualization to be a valuable and insightful experience. Imagination of relaxed and positive situations evoked actual physical ...

Business

- Teleogy- suggests actions are morally acceptable if they result in self advancement or greater utility compared to its alternative. It comprises of two ethical perspectives:
- Egoism- describes actions deemed acceptable if they exploit an individual’s self-interest. Conflict is anticipated if an action is bound to benefit one individual despite the fact that there is a chance that the action may result into hurting people in the future and a different minded individual learns of the possible result.
- Utilitarianism- actions are acceptable if they exploit maximum utility or benefit large numbers of people. Conflict is anticipated ...

There are three types of research paradigms. These include positivism, interpretivism, and mixed paradigm which is a combination of quantitative and qualitative research methods. In recent years, these methodological paradigms have been a source of controversy. Scholars have taken the peace, war, and coalition positions to determine which of these paradigms is most effective. This paper takes the position that the coalition position is the current position that describes that currently describes the field of research methodology today.
First of all, different researchers have advocated for different methodological paradigms both education and the social sciences. Critics have argued that many ...

War as Catalyst of 20th Century-Technological Development
Introduction
The capability of humans to utilize knowledge has led to the introduction of various innovations, particularly technological developments. The discovery of fire by the Peking man became a catalyst for technological development. From there, humans were able to expand their knowledge with further discoveries and applications leading to technological enhancements (Kaempffert 432).
Yet, it is important to note that technological developments would not have risen at a magnanimous rate had there been no underlying incentives to motivate humans in their innovative processes. This study will tackle a ...

Incidents of dramatic irony in Act I and Act II:

- Everyone believes the king died as a result of a snake bite when in reality he had been poisoned. Ironic because Claudius had spread the rumor of the snakebite while he was really the killer. Characters: Ghost, Hamlet, Claudius. Sympathy for Hamlet, because he learned that the king was murdered. Antipathy for Claudius because we learn he is a murderer. Evidence: The testimony of the ghost. Ay, that incestuous, that adulterate beast, “With witchcraft of his wit, with traitorous gifts— / O wicked wit and gifts, that have the power / So to seduce!—won to his shameful lust / The ...

Management: When a New Leader Takes Charge

Most people spend up to a third of their adult life at work therefore the topic on workplace issues and conflicts draws lots of attentions from the management of organizations. More often than not, conflict arises when two or more personalities clash, employee dissatisfactions and failure to progress or get promoted and also due to conflict of interest among the team members. Conflicts are usually long term resulting from a continuous situation. This is different from a dispute which occurs once or twice and isn’t ongoing. However disputes will lead into a conflict if left unsolved. Unsolved dispute is the perfect ingredient ...

Civilization Clashes, Culture Wars, and Religious Violence

1. Summarize the central themes, theses, issues, or arguments of the reading assignment.

The reading assignment discusses how the 21st century is a time that’s afflicted with severe conflicts among the world’s religious communities, that unlike in the 20th century when conflicts existed among nation states, our present time is plagued by conflicts among civilizations where each civilization consists of a number of nation- states that share a common religion and historical identity (Selengut, 2003).

The conflicts arise mostly from religious beliefs that have been passed down through the generations and that, despite the modernization that’s occurring in our ...

The concept of religious pluralism is deceptively simple; it expresses the acceptance of many different religions. However, religious pluralism happens on a spectrum - there are varying degrees by which individuals, clergy, scholars and anyone accepts the validity of other religions. Religious pluralism can be defined as considering the concept that a person's religion does not provide the exclusive truth of the universe, and that other religions are perfectly valid in terms of moral values and certain truths. This has become a very prevalent part of the twenty-first century's stance on religion: "During the last decade or so Western philosophers of religion ...

Abstract

Kinship refers to human relationships by blood or marriage to another or others. It can also be defined as relatedness through having characteristics in common, or through coming from the same origin. This study focuses on how the Yanamamo, which is a foraging and horticultural society, practices kinship ties, and how these ties provide support in all the stages of their lives. By definition, horticulture, in this concept refers to a simple form of agriculture based on working on small plots of land without using draught animals, ploughs or irrigation, while foraging is the search or processes of searching for something, ...

Analysis of the Women are Heroes Project

Project Women are Heroes was initiated by French street artist known as JR. The project was implemented in cooperation with the international organization Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors without Borders). The artist took pictures of women, who live in conflict zones in Kenya, Brazil and Cambodia (Kennedy, 2010). These women were victims of violence or armed conflicts. Many of them lost their children. And they wanted to share their stories. One of the project organizers said that after hearing such stories a person might think that a woman is dead inside. But then the photographer asked her to do a goofy ...

Conflict Resolution and Alternative Dispute Resolution

The marriage institution is one of the hardest and most difficult institutions to manage. It requires commitment and sacrifice of the highest standards because it is a lifelong process and the parties involved ought to respect each other’s interests. This is a case where two different people commit to spend the rest of their lives together in the name of love. However, somewhere along the way, things seem to change, as it was the case with the Patton’s family. The family lived together for long until their disabled son was born. Things immediately changed because the husband could not ...

Interorganizational Conflict

Interorganizational conflict
Interorganizational conflict is a conflict that arises across organizations and can be called a conflict as a corporate level. This type of conflict can be characterized and defined as a competition or even a battle between two enterprises that operate in the same markets. Good example could be such interorganizational conflicts as rivalries between Hyundai and Ford, for example, or Verizon and AT&T. However, interorganizational conflict in general has much broader meaning and relates not only to market competitions. It can be also referred to disagreements and conflicts between organizations and unions that employ their members; or ...

Conflicts do exist in all organizations due to most of their goals are unable to coexist in all the stakeholders involved in a particular association. The same applies to criminal justice organizations where conflicts are inevitable; this is mainly attributed to the fact that those participating in the process of handling various criminal activities may have different conflicting methods of executing their mandates (Stojkovic, Kalinich & Klofas, 2012). However, conflicts play a vital role in criminal justice organization in that it enables it to come up with effective mechanisms to cope with the conflicts. Such strategies deemed to be the ...

Conflict resolution is the most important skill in an organization. It involves bringing two or more conflicting people or groups of people to a consensus about a contentious issue. In most cases one of the parties or both feel aggravated by the actions or utterances of the other. Therefore, it is important to make each party to state his/her situation, intentions and expectations at the beginning of the conflict resolution process (Forsyth, 2009). This gives the CR an understanding of the origin of the conflict for a good resolution.
Culture is one of the main causes of conflict. When ...

Response to LW

I concur that there are many theories upon which professionals may base their strategies in conflict resolution. Fundamentally, it is good for the concerned parties to recognize the presence of differences that may need arbitration. Arbitration is among the proven ways of solving conflict especially if the parties come with a strategy with the help of the mediator. As you have noted, the mediator does not need to suggest ways of working out the differences but facilitate the reconciliation process. Besides that, it is essential that the counselors separate the people from the problems because mixing the two hinders ...

Robert and Denise are going through a very difficult time and it seems clear that intervention is needed. Of all the methods of ADR, facilitative mediation seems to be the most appropriate course of action. Through mediation, Robert and Denise will be helped to communicate effectively and slowly work through their various issues. Whether or not the couple reconcile their marriage, they are likely to have to remain in contact for the sake of their children. Therefore, they will need to find a way of communicating with each other in the long run, and mediation will be a valuable first step in ...

Abstract

When the concept paradigm is used in Sociology it denotes theoretical perspectives pertaining to social phenomenon. In regard to Foundational paradigms Masters of Sociological Theory offers two distinct categories for consideration irrespective of whether it is a classical or contemporary framework. (Cozier,) They are Functionalism and conflict. Foundation sociological thought projects that society or institutions can operate based only from these two major paradigms even though other schools of thought project some eleven in the social sciences. (Tang, 2010). The church as a sociological entity then can be viewed from either paradigms as attempts are made to fulfill its role in ...

When one attempts to analyze society through a macro-perspective, it becomes clear that such analysis is a highly challenging endeavor. With all the interlocking parts, different demographics of people, as well as local and national governmental structures and laws, it can be extremely difficult to make any sort of cogent observation. However, sociologists have attempted to broach these difficulties these developing paradigms through which individuals can examine society. The social-conflict paradigm is one such lens that is effective for such analysis. This paradigm argues that society is best understood as a system of class conflict, with inequality between different ...

‘Name’

‘Institutional Affiliation’
For all outsiders who watch with horror the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine, it would really be hard to understand why so many killings happen for a small strip of land. The popular sentiment in the Western countries and most of the non-Arab world is that, Palestine is the perpetrator of the conflict and Israel is doing what any country would do to safeguard its citizens. All the targeted killings, separation barriers and military attacks by Israel are given a single justification – Self defense. So is this the reality? Is Israel really the victim and Palestine the ...

1. The causes of conflicts in Linux software packages are discussed as follows:
32-bit vs 64-bit conflict: Conflict between 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the same package often arises. Some processors are able to run programs that use different register and pointer sizes as seen in 64-bit X86 processors running in legacy mode 32-bit executables (Artho et al., 2012). For this to happen, all the shared libraries needed by the processor must also be available as 32-bit libraries. The way to go about this is the support by distributions to allow side by side installation of both 32-bit and ...

Introduction

Since the republics in the Soviet Union proclaimed independence in 1991, there have been significant changes concerning the ethno cultural, and demographic situation. The dissolution of the Soviet Union was the major reason behind the creation of the Russian Diaspora. More than twenty-five million Russian citizens found themselves in the midst of newly and freshly created states, which were often redesigned as their new political dwellings (Beissinger, 2008). After some time, the displaced Russians were compelled to either assume a fresh political identity, or to return to the Russian Federation, which was newly created. Assuming fresh political identity would ...

Fairytales generally offer children a very limited choice of heroes and villains, and they cast men and women in stereotyped roles, because they are meant to socialize children according to the values of the society and according to their expected gender roles. Two feminine characters found in many fairytales are the wicked stepmother and the young and beautiful heroine, who is often a princess. In such fairytales as Grimm brothers’ “Snow White”, “Cinderella” and “Mother Holle”, the stepmother is an intruder who occupies the role of the good mother and persecutes the young, beautiful and kind heroine. She is ...

Section 1: Theoretical Perspectives

1) This is something a structural functionalist would say. In structural functionalism, a convoluted system is created that establishes patterns of behavior and attitudes that contribute to its continued existence. In this example, the relationship between individuals and consumption is discussed, as people consuming at the level they are entirely determines just how the system is upheld. If people want to change that system, they have to change their conceptual role in the structure, and find a way to change the structure to keep it stable. If people want to consume fewer products, they have to find a way to make sure that ...

Management is about making decision. Just as there are different styles of leadership, there are different styles for making decision. Making a decision not only involves quantitative analysis but it also calls for qualitative analysis.

How conflicts can change the economic behavior of consumers?

If we consider the fast food from the viewpoint of the conflict theory it is necessary to understand that the conflict in society is inevitable and universal, as it stimulates and develops the changes society for the better. The conflict for fast food is considered primarily on the macro level. Manufacture of food products and all associated with the economy, technology and cooking appliances are woven into human relationships. This is the primary material relations of the social world, rather than abstract economic relations of social labor. As an example we can provide a story of a hockey player ...

The American Revolution was not a pure conflict concerning the Americans and the British; it was rather a global conflict. The consequence of this conflict changed the colonial power balance and determined the destiny of the American colonists. The struggle for American independence irritated the most dominant colonial powers of Europe. The colonies’ discontent and the involvement of Europe, all occurred at the end of a period characterized by extreme imperial rivalry. To be specific, the occurrence of the war between the American colonies and Britain was twelve years after the Seven years’ war.
