Journal Entry

Select and describe a specific conflict with which you are very familiar.

Using the framework for identifying sources of conflict (Table 7.1) analyze the situation as to: what type

of conflict it is, i.e., what is the source? Why did it occur and/or is continuing?

Next use the guidelines (Table 7.4) to select an appropriate conflict resolution approach that would be

most compatible for the situation.
