Week 16 Response #3

Over the course of the semester I have learned many things. I love how this class was focused mainly on conflict but also all the many different ways that we can address conflict. Conflict no longer is something that is negative but can be looked at in a positive way also. It can teach us a lot about ourselves and about others. There are many ways to go about handling a conflict and some ways I found to be more interesting than others. I feel the STLC method to be the most beneficial because it seems to be the most logical and smart way of dealing with a conflict. That method allows for us to take in what is happening, make our own analysis and then help the situation. Most of all what I learned from this course is that dealing with conflict is something that I want to do in means of my career. I feel that I am talented in helping conflicts get resolved and I would like to do that with my life, possibly resolve conflict in the business world or conflict in someone’s personal life.

This class is my favorite class to take. I have taken our professors class before and I have always had fun doing the work. I found that I was able to learn and turn this class into fun without thinking of it as work like my other classes. My favorite thing about this class is that it is very organized. I know exactly what I need to do for the week and when I need to turn it in by. Everything about this class is organized and that is something I feel is important. I do not want to be graded poorly because I was confused, I would like to be graded on what I know and my work ethic. If I can change one thing I would make it so in the post we only have to respond to two peoples post. This is a great class and I will always recommend people to take this class.

Week #16 Reading Review #1

I feel people have a negative view towards conflict because conflict has a negative stigma attached to it. Before even becoming involved they are already fearful of what might happen. The fact that when people do not know how to handle a conflict problem they also do not know the possibilities a conflict can bring. Conflicts do not always have to end badly. People can turn a conflict into something that is amazing and even want to encounter conflict to continue to grow. I feel once you gain a greater understanding about conflict you do then fear it far less. This is especially true when you have learned how to manage conflict. Knowing the many different ways in which you can fix a conflict gives you confidence when encountered with conflict. That in return allows you to lessen your fear and be more open to encountering a conflict. I personally have become less fearful of conflict after taking this class.
