On a crisp autumn day in 2016, while hidden away from the cares of my daily routine in my family room, I was called upon to elaborate on an important aspect of my life. It took some time for consideration to determine how to best portray a journey I have taken in managing conflict, as I am not a young woman. Decades filled with the blessings of being the mother of disabled children, years lived as a single parent, as well as the process of maturation, tempered by the fires of adversity, have molded me into who I am today. As I reflected, I wondered if would I know how to deal with conflict as I do now without the life experiences I have had? Certainly not! The following paragraphs will describe my primary conflict style and why I use it, how I have changed constructively in this area, how the other four styles of conflict management may serve me, and where I hope to arrive as I continue to make my way along the journey of my life.

Interpersonal communication is how individuals connect with one another, and is a necessary skill for anyone that desires to build harmony, demonstrate respect, diffuse and solve problems, and build meaningful and mutual relationships. This course has allowed me to better understand how and why I communicate the way I do, as well as ways to improve my communication skills and be more cognizant of the functions and repercussions of communication. I learned that communication is about more than what is spoken. It also includes nonverbal cues as well as role schemas.

The first two concepts of interpersonal communication running through the film are those of relationship deterioration and repair. The third concept that is weaved throughout the entire film is that of using humor to reduce

Throughout this semester, we have learned a great deal about conflict styles in which we may encounter in our lives. Surely everyone has experienced conflict, but not everyone handles the situation the same way. This paper is an assessment on how I have dealt with and learned my own ways of dealing with conflict throughout my life, as well as how others close to me have dealt with conflicting situations with me. Created by William W. Wilmot, I was able to utilize these assessments in ways I have never been able to statistically see how conflict is handled in my inner circle of friends or family.

Conflict management deals with many levels of communications. Power and influence play a key role in how conflict is resolved in situations involving conflict. The film Lean On Me was first and foremost about transformation on several different levels. At first glance the tactics of “Crazy Joe” Clark seem harsh and arbitrary.

As long as there exists a relationship between two people, which tend to be closer, chances of conflict occurrence are enhanced; hence the inevitability of conflict principle as mentioned by Cahn and Abigail (2014). From the case above, is has been depicted that interpersonal conflicts arise among individuals who are important to each other, and are to continue being together in various contexts, hence a sense of interdependence (Cahn & Abigail, 2014). There is an automatic mother-child interdependence in one way, or another hence conflict is inevitable. This inevitability is also portrayed by Hertz (2015) while elaborating on conflict management with patients. It is the prolonged relationship between the patient and the doctor that increases the chances conflict occurrence. Both of them are important to one another in that the patient needs to be well while the doctor wants to gain from the patient after offering the treatment services, hence the interdependence.

He has also expressed the fact that positive behaviour, between family members, in conflict interaction is a key propeller of conflict management. This applies to the case above, in that the calm response to the mother challenged her and provoked resolution in her, about her prior behaviour.
