Week 11 Reading Reaview #3

The psycho dynamic theory to me is very interesting. Conflict will always have an original point in which it started from. The exact thing that ignites conflict can be found when looking at this theory.  According to the book it talks about how conflict is started based off the interpersonal state in which a person is in. I f a person is in an irritable mood then witnessing a conflict happen to them is going to have high chances. I feel the things in the day can help build someone’s interpersonal state. The more it negatively affects someone then there is a higher chance for a conflict to occur. Although what I personally do not like is when someone who always gets mad or annoyed blames their actions or feelings on everything except themselves.  They always have an excuse for why they had an outburst and never take responsibility for their own actions.

Week 11 Reading Review #2

When in conflict people can tend to make things up that are not true. People can make up things about other people just to make their side of the story seem stronger. Yet false attributions can cause the conflict to worsen. I have been in a conflict and attempted to defend a certain person. In my act of defending I created false attributions about my friend to make him seem like he was in the right. I made these attributions on accident and realized it was the wrong thing to do. The other person involved knew that what I was saying was false and that made him even more mad and honestly gave him the upper hand. My friend lost credibility and settling the conflict was no longer going to be settled in my friends favor because of what I had said. Accurate attributions always help because they are main points to strengthen your argument.  

Week 11 Reading Review #1

When I looked up the word forgiveness it the first few results I found were related to the bible. Forgiveness is a major concept in religions such as Christianity. As I continued to read the results began to focus on how to forgive and the process it takes to do so. Looking up reconciliation produced very different results. It did have results relating to the bible once again but overall the majority was simply describing what the word means. I feel as though this word is difficult to explain and can be misinterpreted. This is why I feel most of the results are just definitions. When looking up the word revenge the results came back completely different from the rest. The results were all about a certain T.V show and other movies or shows with the word revenge in it. I even scanned forward a great amount and still I was coming up with the same results. Forgiveness came up with the most results and feel this way because this word is commonly used.
