Abstract
This paper discusses various ways that have been used throughout history in order to resolve conflict. The paper specifically provides examples of when violence was used and instances when non-violence was used to achieve resolution. The paper concludes that implementing non-violence, when overcoming conflict, may take a long period of time, but through its ability to change and alter a person's perspective and mind, non-violence is an optimistic and everlasting solution to achieve peace.
From the Paper
"Similarly, Che Guevara, a revolutionary in Cuba, used parallel ideas to that of Mao Tse-tung. These two revolutionary leaders both used violence to obtain what they wanted and both did not wait for something to be done; rather, they fought aggressively to pursue their dreams. Guevara said, "It is not necessary to wait until all conditions for making revolution exist; the insurrection can create them" (Guevara, 1). In this quotation, Guevara argues that one should not wait passively and be oppressed by a dictatorship, but instead take the initiative to stop the present repression. He also claimed, "when the forces of oppression come to maintain themselves in power against established law" (Guevara, 1)", it is appropriate to use guerilla warfare in order to achieve human rights."

Abstract
This paper examines how conflict management has several different styles and perceptions usually depending on the style of leadership. It also looks at how the industry itself may implicitly dictate the approach to the method of conflict resolution utilized. It discusses how there are many different management approaches existing in the electronics industry today and through personal experience, shows how accepting one particular approach can be an investment that returns powerful elements such as team collaboration and cost effectiveness or competing.
From the Paper
"However, in light of recent world events and economic downfall, the firm went through a lot of reorganization. Some of the changes were successful; some were not. As the availability of funds became less and less accessible to the organization, the effectiveness and leading approach of management has become less and less successful. Top-level administration is putting pressure on middle management, who is now instructed to ?Sell, Sell, Sell?. In turn, middle management puts pressure on low-level management, who eventually puts pressure on low-level employees, who are generally the liaisons between the organization and the customer."

Conflict and Conflict Resolution, 2007.

Abstract
In this article the writer first discusses the term 'conflict' and looks at how it can be defined. The writer then describes that when an Islamic militant and terrorist took it upon himself to resolve a conflict as he saw it, he launched terror attacks on the people of the United States of America, and the result was large scale devastation and destruction and panic and adverse impacts on the economic and political and social system of the United States. Further, the writer studies the impact and attempts at resolution of the conflict. The writer concludes that perhaps, in the long run, Bush's ideals would create more conflict around the globe, than resolve them in any way. One can only wait and see what will happen eventually, and find out whether it is possible to resolve conflicts of high order with any amount of success.
From the Paper
"However, at the same time, it must be remembered that there were other losses that were not covered by private insurance, or were not qualified under the charitable contributions, or even by the emergency relief funds, and these were the really huge losses that occurred due to the September 11 terrorist attacks. Several different agencies undertook the study of the economic losses that were caused by the September 11 debacle, and according to the New York City Partnership, the attacks on the two World Trade Center Buildings must have cost the state, at the very least, $ 83 billion, as per the value in the year 2001, and this included the costs of total losses, that is, both the direct and the indirect costs. Out of this estimate, only about $ 67 billion of the losses would be completely covered by insurance and other contributions. In a more recent study, according to an Officer of the New York City Comptroller's Office, as of April 2002, the total costs of the clean up of the World Trade Center has been much quicker and also much less costly than the initial estimates had indicated."

Abstract
This paper attempts to understand the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from the perspective of cultural similarities and differences between the two peoples. The author begins by providing a definition of culture, and then offers a thorough analysis of the various cultural attributes of both groups -- from religion to power to territorialism. The paper concludes with a section entitled "Is Peace Possible?", which looks at this perennial question from the unusual perspective of the cultural impediments to peace, rather than the political ones.
Introduction: What is Culture?
Why Israel and Palestine are Like Each Other and Dislike Each Other
Territorialism
Religious Differences
Influence of United States and Europe
Dissimilar Values
Money
Power
Different Governments - Different People
Is Peace Possible?
From the Paper
"Traditionally the word culture is used to define people who share a certain set of values. These values may include similar national character, a particular geo-political heritage, or a state sanctioned religion. The article, "The Man in the Baghdad Cafe" goes on to say that in many cases people define themselves by a very small number of shared values rather than the cultural larger set that are said to be shared by Europeans or Asians or residents of the Middle East. In Europe, more people identify with their geographical territory such as Germany or France or England than they do either with national character or religion (Protestant work ethic)."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Components of conflict may come in the form of needs wherein ones need is not the same as others or could not be accommodated hence; feeling disgruntled against those not giving in to the need becomes apparent. A good example would be a teenage kid wanting - or for him "needing" - a new pair of designer jeans and the parents said no because it is too expensive. The teenager will end up resenting his parents because his needs were not given. It is often said that: "Perception is reality" and one's outlook when different from another and each person has strong opinions against each other's perceptions, will turn out into heated argument as to who is right or wrong."

From the Paper
"Symbolic interactionists, however, would see the tutor-student relationship as completely different. First of all, symbolic interactionalists would highlight the contextual nature of being a student. One minute, with a teacher, I am in class, playing the role of a student. The next minute, I am a teacher, with power, with knowledge, with the answers, and also I am enforcing the rules of the classroom to ensure that the teaching session proceeds in a timely fashion and that everything I desire to accomplish is accomplished. Holding the position of tutor is a tenuously negotiated role, as I, as a tutor, wish to feel a sense of authority (and get paid, except when I am tutoring a younger relative) and the subject wishes to pass a class and receive a good exam grade, and is thus willing to give me authority that he or she might not otherwise give to me in a personal relationship."

Conflict: Productive Strategy
Conflict Resolution and Stylistic Differences
From the Paper
"There goes another anniversary, another anniversary you forgot, " was the initiation of our argument in which the person that forgot, let's call her Sally, instantly defended herself by blaming the other, called Alvin, for forgetting last year's anniversary. Alvin then redefined the argument by bringing up Sally forgetting his birthday five years ago and never even mentioning the mistake to him. In retaliation to this redefinition, Sally minimized that incident by stating that it was five years ago-nothing Alvin should still be whining about. Alvin, now angry not only from Sally forgetting their anniversary, but also from her forgetting his birthday five years ago, refused to hear or listen to Sally's justifications by proclaiming that she forgot-which is the bottom line. Sally, now enraged for Alvin being upset from something so long ago, silenced him bye screaming at Alvin to just drop it. Alvin then unloaded on Sally other grievances he possessed. Gunnysacking is the method Alvin used in which he informed Sally how upset he had been for her working late every evening, without ever calling, as well as how she hadn't cooked for him in ages. Sally then responded to Alvin that she couldn't buy him any nice things if she didn't work so many hours, attempting to manipulate him. "

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper addresses the serious issue of violence and suicide among teenagers, due to the fact that they do not process the skills to solve conflict. It examines different techniques that have been taught to various groups of teenagers and asks which conflict resolution program was most effective in reducing the number of violent acts committed by teenagers. It questions which techniques teenagers found most effective in helping them resolve conflicts and examines what some of the guidelines teenagers can use when approaching a conflict.
From the Paper
"This project will be designed to evaluate research previously conducted on conflict resolution programs. Research that has been conducted on these programs has resulted in positive outcomes on increasing conflict resolution skills in teenagers. Offord and Bennet (1994) stated that children and teenagers are both victims and perpetrators of violence. Risk factors that increase the probability of them becoming both victims and perpetrators include socioeconomic status, difficult temperament, chronic illness, psychiatric comorbidity, and parental psychopathology."

Abstract
This paper discusses conflict within the family in relation to married couples, courts, and adolescents. The paper further discusses the types of conflict resolution, and places focus on the concept of the win-win approach to conflict resolution within the family. Through research the paper discusses concepts that have been tested that provide information on positive outcomes in conflict resolution associated to this concept.
From the Paper
"When conflict occurs within modern society it is often exhibited through two predominant types of confrontation. Destructive conflict involves outcomes that are based on competition during the conflict. In this instance there are generally two opposing forces that are determined to dominate the other, and the stakes become higher between the individuals as they attempt to take measures to inflict emotional pain on each other. Constructive conflict, however, allows individuals to learn, and grow through the experience that is progressed through the idea that both parties will ultimately "win" in the outcome of the exchange. Cahn (1994) contends that constructive conflict is, by nature, a method of developing socially, and maintaining intimacy between couples (p. 114). Cahn (1994) suggests that every person must possess his or her individualism, as well as the association with a family unit (p. 114)."

Conflict Resolution, 2005.
This paper discusses conflict resolution techniques, focusing on suppression, a technique sometimes applied in extreme forms of conflict.
1,200 words (approx. 4.8 pages), 11 sources, MLA, $ 41.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, because conflict has become endemic throughout the world, the processes and techniques of conflict resolution are becoming increasingly important in dealing with these conflicts. The author points out that suppression as a conflict resolution technique is not an adequate resolution procedure because, by definition, it suppresses or denies the causes of conflict and therefore allows the cause of the conflict to continue and possibly worsen. The paper relates that it is wrong to think of conflict resolution as an attempt to end finally all conflict because conflict is a part of society and social growth and the emphasis should be on transforming and transmuting conflict into a positive direction.
From the Paper
"A good example of use of suppression, as a means of resolving or dealing with conflict, was the South African situation during the years of Apartheid. The System of Apartheid or separate development in the country divided the people along racial lines and denied equality to the black and colored population. This disparity resulted in an extreme conflict situation. The mechanism used by the authorities to deal with this conflict was suppression through detentions and the use of force. This included the "suppression of peaceful mechanisms of organized protest". However, this method of suppression did not succeed in resolving the conflict but only created further dissention within the country which eventually resulted in riots and a near civil war."

Abstract
This paper explains that Wehr?s ?Conflict Regulation? provides a mapping guide, which outlines the origins, nature, dynamics, and possibilities for resolution of a conflict, whether interpersonal or related to other factors. The author selected a conflict, the separation between John, age 42,and his wife Loretta, age 53, married for 13 years, but currently in the process of finalizing a separation and divorce. The paper stresses that conflict resolution in the best of circumstances requires that both parties go into a resolution situation with an open mind and with the desire to realize a positive outcome; this is not the case with Loretta and John.

"There are many barriers that exist preventing a successful relationship. One major obstacle is that Loretta attempts to disguise her true personality and age in the relationship. Being ten years older than her husband, there are obvious signs that she is insecure with her age, including her wishes that John grow a beard to appear older. Loretta also attempts to dress ?younger? to feel more comfortable I the relationship. A lack of communication is also prevalent. Loretta works as a hairdresser, and as such seems to share a large majority of private information regarding her relationship with her clients rather than with her husband. This magnifies the tension that currently exists among the couple."

Abstract
The paper provides a definition of conflict resolution and summarizes three articles concerning conflict resolution in the workplace.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"In the workplace, conflict resolution is vitally important because organizations rely upon employees working together to achieve the goals of the organization. However, when conflict arises employees are not able to work together to achieve these goals and the organization can suffer as it relates to profitability, customer service and high turnover rates. For this reason most organizations have some type of conflict resolution strategy. These strategies are designed to avoid conflict from occurring and to resolve it quickly when it does develop. Conflict resolution is viewed as necessary in any organization because individuals always have differing opinions concerning the manner in which the organization is run."
