Question

name
conflict resolution
conflict is a natural part of life. no two people are alike, and differences in opinion can lead to problems. conflict resolution involves solving problems in a way that no one is hurt and everyone is treated respectfully.
people respond to conflict in different ways. conflict avoidance means pretending no conflict exists or giving in to avoid a conflict. conflict confrontation occurs when people argue over many issues and demand to have their way. when conflict avoidance or conflict confrontation occurs, one side always loses.
the most successful way to resolve conflicts is to approach the situation in a constructive way and to seek a fair solution. try to think of conflicts as challenges rather than problems. show the other person that you care by listening to what he or she has to say. tell the person how you feel and what youd like to have happen, without making accusations or causing him or her to feel defensive. writing about the problem may help you clarify the issues and consider your alternatives. brainstorm a variety of solutions rather than settling on the first solution that comes to mind. try to stay calm; criticizing and name - calling will not make the other person open to your ideas. try to ask questions in response to resistance. for example, if a person says, \that will never work,\ ask, \what do you think might work then?\ or \what problems do you think there will be?\ remember that the other persons ideas are important too. if necessary, get help from an adult or a respected friend.

4. (This is a subjective - answer question. An example answer could be) Once, I had a conflict with a friend over which movie to watch. We both insisted on our own choices and ended up not watching any movie. Now, I would first listen to my friend's reasons for choosing a particular movie, share my own reasons calmly, and then brainstorm together, like suggesting we could watch one movie now and the other next time.
