CONFLICT - LEARNING TO DEAL WITH IT

Think about it

  • The person sitting in front of you at the movie theater is too tall for you to see around but he doesn’t want to sit anywhere else.
  • You want Italian food, and your sister wants Chinese food.
  • You are invited to two parties at the same time on the same day.
  • You and your best friend are competing for the same position on the soccer team.
Any of these situations could be classified as conflict. A conflict might be defined as a clash between people, ideas, or interests. It does not have to be violent or a bad situation.
