Week 16 D3

Over the course of them semester I learned a lot about conflict and how to deal with it. My favorite concept that we learned would be the S-TLC system. I believe it to be a great system and method of steps to take in order to deal with conflicts. I also learned how to avoid conflicts that might occur. Conflicts will always happen in life. It is best to know and understand how to deal with them in a way that everyone would be happy. Also it good to know how to deal with conflicts I different situations.  As always when conflicts become too hard to handle, knowing that you can reach out to a mediator to help you is a good thing to know. They can help you solve big conflicts instead of having to spend lots of money going to court over things.  I am thankful for all of the tactics that I have learned when dealing with conflicts. This class was extremely helpful in providing tools for future conflicts that could arise.

Week 16 D-1 Conflict views

I believe that people have such negative views of conflict because they don’t like to handle conflicts and they also don’t know to handle conflict the right way.  I think that if people knew how to deal with conflicts in a matter that would make them happy then they wouldn’t have such negative view on it. Some people are stubborn and they don’t like to admit to being wrong, so that can make the conflict worse off than it needs to be. I know that I am not as afraid of conflict as I once was after taking this class. I know how to deal with certain situations more and how to explain/teach conflict concepts to others, so that they will learn how to manage their conflicts better. I do think that as people know more about conflicts, they fear it less.  Once you learn more about it, then you can better manage it and not be so afraid of conflicts. So I would have to agree with that statement that when knowing more about conflicts, you fear it less.  Learning more about conflicts also helps you steer clear from them too.

Week 16 D1 Class eval

This class overall was great! I really enjoyed everything in it and I learned a lot. Conflict will always happen so it is good to know how to deal with certain situations. I enjoyed doing the conflict workshop project. I think it really helped learn the concepts in more details. I also learned more about how to deal and teach conflicts to children since that was my focus area. The project was also really fun to do and helpful. The discussions also really helped in learning more about the concepts as well. Commenting on our classmates blogs were helpful in seeing their view points. There wasn’t any weaknesses that I can think of off the top of my head. The teacher was always willing and able to help. The content of the class was sufficient to learn in details about conflicts.  I would definitely recommend this class to other students since you learn about conflict and it helps with everyday ordeals.
