Meaning of conflict

Conflict is serious disagreement and argument between two or more people about something important.

Wrong ways of resolving Conflicts

1. Avoiding Conflict: Rather than discussing the rift in a calm, respectful manner, some people prefer not to talk about it or avoid resolving the conflict with their partner.

2. Fighting: This is a very wrong approach to conflict resolution, fighting about the situation tends to aggravate and not solve the problem.

3. Killing: Killing a partner, colleague or friend is way too much in a bit to resolve conflict. It might lead to a criminal case which may end the killer to life imprisonment or a death sentence.

4. Vengeance: This is a violent or harmful action that someone does to punish someone for harming them.

 

Right ways of resolving conflicts

Conflicts can be managed and resolved in the following ways:

1. Dialogue/negotiation: This is taking part in a conversation or discussion to resolve a problem. This has to do with the two parties involved in the conflict coming together using discussion to facilitate the settlement.

2. compromise: There, both parties give on the matter that brings about conflicts, strike a balance, hence the matter will end up with no victory, that is, no winner or loser.

3. peacekeeping activities: Some people prefer to allowing peace dwell in the cause of a conflict in order to manage conflict.

4. boundary adjustments: setting boundaries between both parties is also a way to manage or resolve conflicts.
