BESSEMER PARK WEEK 2: PROCESSING CONFLICT/RESOLUTION


                  During the second week at TRACE, we focused on conflict resolution. We defined conflict resolution as: Problem, violence, fight, altercation, disagreement, verbal abuse, etc. Using these words we found the six conflict resolution styles which were, compromise: meaning to talk things out with that person, and find a way to come to an agreement. The second style was Direct and control which means when one person demands everything their way for example the quote it’s my way or the highway. The third stage was collaborate which means to work as a team. The fourth stage is to avoid/deny this means to walk away from the situation, and don’t resolve the situation. The fifth stage was to accommodate which basically means to give in or work through the problem. Lastly the sixth step is appealing to authority or a third party which means since you can’t solve it on your own, get someone involved.
                  Results to conflict resolution: is involving action, negative connotation, violence, weapons, relationships with law enforcement, love ones, retaliation, attention, poor cases, hospital reviews, etc. the cause and effects of conflicts is a problem, and then resulting to violence. For example in many cases you see people on the news getting into arguments over something that could be resolved another way, but instead someone gets shot, murdered, or seriously injured. Many people don’t know of other ways to resolve their issue other then violence, violence is the easy way out of a conflict. So we at TRACE became aware of different resolution to avoid the easy way out. Creating awareness gives our community a better chance and a better solution of life.
