Essays on Conflict

Conflict is a common thing in this universe. This particular thing is very evident from the largest structure of creation to the tiniest one. Nevertheless, there are still ways to resolve it. And that is what this paper is all about – particularly in relation to covert conflicts. Covert conflict behavior, in the first place, reflects indirect ways of manifesting conflicts between individuals (Gullotta & Adams, 2008). It is simply doing other things instead of directly solving the real concerns. Thus, in reality, covert conflict behavior just doesn’t help at all.

One example of such condition is when I and ...

In order to improve my performance, I will improve on the various characteristics possessed by successful managers. First, I will have to understand my management styles.

I will also develop my skills for recognizing and resolving conflicts at an early stage before the conflict goes beyond my control. This will be ...

Group Development

The stages of group development are the forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning stages. Forming is when the group members are at the stage of getting to know each other. Storming is when each of the group member’s tasks are defined and when tensions are dealt with. Norming is when relationships are built and when the group members already work together. Performing is when the relationships in the group and the performance of tasks have matured. This stage is when the group is pretty much stable on all aspects. Finally, adjourning is when the group’s purpose has ...

Conflict situations are inevitable in our daily social living. Conflict is a phenomenon that is almost always just around the corner. Although the word conflict has an intimidating connotation that makes it highly unwelcome in our lives, it is not always the case. Santos (1999) claimed that conflicts are oftentimes necessary, especially in an organization where interaction among stakeholders is important. Conflicts can also be deemed helpful when ideas are challenged and creativity is given an opportunity to emerge.

Any conflict situation may be approached in three ways: lose-lose orientation, win-lose ...

The organization where this conflict occurred is a large corporation that consists of very many employees and many branches. The departments consist of several people working together to achieve a common goal. In this instance, the conflict occurred within the sales department.

The salespersons had spent one month asking for brochures and business cards to assist them in approaching clients during the launch of a new product. On the other side, the manager ...

Question 1: Is Randy’s Reaction Uncommon? Explain

Randy’s reaction towards Kaye is not uncommon. Randy was hostile towards the expansion of the hospital, which he agrees is a good idea, just to be hostile towards Kaye. When most people do not like others they tend to go against the other person in all aspects. They go against their actions, requests and even ideas, not because they are bad but because they do not like or see eye to eye with the other person. This occurs because they cannot in modern society go to arms and fight; therefore ...

Abstract

In this paper, I will analyze how money-making motivations are connected to subjective well-being. Money-making motivations are frequently distributed into realistic and unrealistic motivations, and that depends on the possibility of attaining them through making money. However, the distribution of motivations into realistic and unrealistic does not have to represent the absolute truth in every scientific research and real life scenario. Scientific research shows various conflicting findings on money-making motivations and their relationship with well-being. I will analyze the importance of cultural influences, value conflict, and associations with money in defining subjective well-being. Money-making motivations are an essential factor ...

Some believe in sub-sects of the world’s major religions while others believe in their faiths without question. However, recent cases point out that some people would do unimaginable things just to protect their faith and the name of their prophet. Experts have noted that some religions are indeed dangerous due to the traditions they follow. Some believe that this should not be the basis in identifying the dangers of a religion. Others think that religion only becomes ...

Explain sources of conflict within an organization.

Ideally, in 21st century organizational environment has become intensely competitive. Most of the people in an organization compete for various reasons. Therefore, the competition, and the struggles within the organization lead to conflicts. Conflicts within an organization can cost productivity, money, and time, but in some conditions, it is health for the growth and development of the organization (Heinz & Koontz, 2006). Hence, conflict is the incompatibility of values and goals between different parties in an organization.

Ego and value conflicts overlap in a healthcare workplace causing hostility and conflict between the healthcare workers. For example, in nursing, it is noted that conflicts arise out of everyday behavioural patterns like the ways managers treat the nurses in situations. Egos often get bruised because of public confrontations or displays of hostilities. Healthcare professionals also harbour values and principals of their own with regard to patient care which might lead to difference of opinion with their co-workers which in turn reflects as ego clashes, thereby affecting overall performance of a team.
Compromising and collaboration are the most effective ...

Working in groups brings about several challenges that come with working with people who have different opinions, perspectives, temperaments, skills and level of education. A group embodies the strengths as well as the weaknesses of each member. The strengths come out when the group is achieving what it is supposed to but when it fails to do so, the weaknesses come out. Resistance comes about when the members are at loggerheads with each other or when the group leader makes decisions without the approval and sometimes even consent of the majority.
Groups largely fail because there is no single ...

Genocides start because of the conflict between people of same race or religion attempting to displace the different race or religion.

Genocides have led to mass violence and displacement of people since it stirs ...

Introduction

Children’s psychological effects of divorce seem devastating, and most divorcing couples are totally oblivious of how much their private conflicts have lasting effects on their children’s psychology. Unfortunately, most parents do not stop to think of the consequences of treating their future ex-spouses inappropriately. In addition, they do not fathom their perpetual behavior of maligning them in the presence of their children. These adolescents or children undergo serious manipulation from their parents for financial, social, and personal reasons (Ogloff & Schuller, 2000). It is evident that children from divorced families have the imposition of psychological problem challenges than ...

The process of generating an action plan based on my values, awareness, goal-setting, reflection, and plan for my individual development in the context of my education, career, self- improvement, or relationship stimulates me. I have always been a creative and resilient individual that stays with a plan of action until I achieve my desired objective. My ability to tolerate stress normally makes me very resourceful in solving both challenging and new problems, but I am easily bored by the routine. The process of creating my personal development plan (PDP) started with numerous individual evaluations that helped me recognize who ...

Conflicts are a natural part of the collective human experience. Wherever there is the involvement of choices, conflicts are bound to happen. In the current competitive world, opinion and views are highly divided and hence conflicts are inevitable (Deutsch & Coleman, 2000). In our efforts to work cooperatively and collaboratively with one another, we often have differing opinions about how best to accomplish our common goals. Conflicts in the workplace are common and they occur as result of varying personalities and perspectives. Employer and employee conflicts are the most common types of conflicts in the workplace.

In June 1950, troops from North Korea attacked South Korea, initiating the Korean War. The following three years would be ones of intense conflict for the entire world as each nation maintained support from other nations.

Resource allocation remains a challenge to nurses in their care delivery. Nurses need to allocate resource in consistency with the ethical and moral requirements. They should ensure quality delivery of care taking respect for the individual patients. The allocation of resources in most cases presents the nurses with ethical dilemmas (Nursingworld.org, 2014). The dilemmas lead to conflict between moral obligations of the profession and moral obligations of their practice. Competent nurses need to have the skills in the allocation of resources because this ensures the success of healthcare delivery.

Judging this conflict using the philosophical article of Rousseau ‘discourse on origin of inequality’

Rousseau’s philosophical article discourse on the origin of inequality was an attempt to analyze the source of evil and inequality that have been boggling man since his existence in this world. Rousseau in his article wrote that the very evil that faces humanity has originated from selfish behavior of the natural man. To him the man who first installed boundaries on his perceived property became the source of all evil in the world today. In this article Rousseau, wrote that life was initially good when people just had enough to make them survive and enough personal space. The ...

Value Conflict

Sociology as the study of society and humanity cannot avoid a focus on values; this is because humanity and the society cannot avoid making value judgments. For sociology to be objective, it would have to be independent of factors such as color, race, creed, occupation, religion, nationality, political predispositions and moral preferences. It is an impossible task; thus, the making of value judgments always leads to value conflicts. For sociology to be free of values, it must be able to distinguish social facts from values; being the study of human nature, it cannot achieve this. Sociologists view the world ...

Feminist accused the male dominated society of the subjugation of the rights of women. The history of the human race is marred with the oppression of the female gender. The injustice perpetrated by women can be attributed to the ideologies taught in mainstream religions that women are responsible for the fall of the human race and the current evil that has salvaged the society for centuries. Nevertheless, communities and ethnicities that do not subscribe to the mainstream religions undermine women in the society. Towards the late twentieth century, feminist’s movement arose as a result of the skyrocketing of ...

1. What is your immediate reaction to the scenario? How would you feel if you were the person this situation was about?
I would seek the input of top management to arbitrate and bring order to team meetings. This is because each department needs to listen to and respect the others instead of accentuating narrow professional interests. If I was the person concerned with this situation, I would feel demoralized and ineffective.
2. How could this situation have been avoided?
This situation could have been avoided if each department clearly understood its role in the entire production process and ...

It is been said that a generation can change its society. Comparing the past generations of Saudi women to present ones, one can observe significant changes in the two different age groups: those over forty years and those less than twenty years.

In most cases, conflict in the workplace seems to be a fact of life. It has been witnessed where different people with different goals and needs have come into conflict. It seems like workplace conflicts are inevitable. Often, intense personal animosity can result out of conflicts leading to good people quitting, morale can plummet, and sometimes violence can erupt. However, the fact that conflicts exist is not a bad thing in essence: as long as it is resolved effectively, it can lead to personal and professional growth (Mayer, 2004). In many cases, effective conflict resolution can differentiate between positive ...

One of the most fascinating and unique aspects of French films is their essential “Frenchness” – the way in which the plot, characters and storytelling evince particular aspects of French culture. Many times, French films find their appeal in being uniquely ‘French,’ having meanings that are of particular importance to the French people. In spite of this, many important and popular French films carry with them a universality of meaning that spans cultures. In the case of the French films La Grande Vadrouille and La Cage Aux Folles, the setting of the story within French culture and locations allows the ...

Communication in Nursing

The basic communication elements are (1) the sender, (2) the channel, (3) the receiver, and (4) the message. All of those elements need to be unambiguous to achieve effective communication, which means that the sender must send a clear message to the receiver through an appropriate channel. Effective communication is critical in healthcare because it affects patient safety, treatment outcomes, conflict resolution, and job satisfaction.
