Negative View of Conflict

When it comes to conflict, I believe that people have a negative view of it because the outcome of their situation is always a negative one. Before I took this class, I was definitely one of those people. We all need to come to the realization that conflict can help us grow as individuals and help the relationship grow as well. When there is conflict, we have the opportunity to learn from our mistakes, learn how to control our emotions, and learn more about the other person. The key to being able to learn all of these things is knowing how to resolve conflict in an effective way. Many people assume that conflict is bad because we are not happy in the moment it is occurring, but if one knows how to resolve conflicts with some sort of control, and then he/she can begin to appreciate conflict as a whole. And I do believe one hundred percent that if people knew more about conflict it would be feared less. WAY LESS!
