We all know what are the conflicts and we all have it in every day life. But here are other aspects that is not known by each other. So i want to show you different sides of this theme. Firstly, a conflict exists when the reduction of one motivating stimulus involves an increase in another, so that a new adjustment is demanded. A conflict is more than a mere disagreement - it is a situation in which people perceive a threat (physical, emotional, power, status, etc.) to their well-being.
Secondly, conflicts styles is a way to meet one's needs in a dispute but may impact other people in different ways. One of them is competing in which one's own needs are advocated over the needs of others. The next one is accommodating – the opposite of competing. One more style is avoiding in which is a common response to the negative perception of conflict. Also, here is compromising - an approach to conflict in which people gain and give in a series of tradeoffs. And the last one is collaborating that requires assertive communication and cooperation in order to achieve a better solution than either individual could have achieved alone.
Moreover, here are three types of responses to conflict. Emotional responses are the feelings we experience in conflict, ranging from anger and fear to despair and confusion, cognitive responses are our ideas and thoughts about a conflict, often present as inner voices or internal observers in the midst of a situation, and physical responses are similar to those we experience in high-anxiety situations, and they may be managed through stress management techniques.
Furthermore, we have three choices how to resolute a conflict. It can be win-win, where both parties get what they want, win-lose where one party gets what they want, or lose-lose where both parties don't get what they want.
Finally, here are both advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages: Spirit of competition drives all to excel to higher levels, as weaknesses are exposed and creative solutions are proposed. Also, where people disagree about the essence of the discussion or the directives of a figure in authority, can be constructive. Conflict brings all sides of an issue into the open.
Disadvantage: The competition gets so fierce that people forget they are ultimately on the same team, and opposing groups destroy each other, hence destroying the whole community or country. Moreover, conflict may stir passions in a dormant environment, creating a newfound sense of motivation and in extreme cases, conflict can even become violent.
To sum up, i believe that conflict is not the best way to search a solution and try to be at the risk of relationship with other people.
