1). After reading Chapter 16 in its entirety, answer the following question: Why do you think people have such negative views of conflict? Do you think that as people know more about conflict, they fear it less? Why or why not?
I believe that people have such a negative view on conflict because they don't necessarily know how to handle it. Conflict management is not something that we are taught in school, like science or math, but rather something that we have to learn on our own how to do. I think that if people opened up their eyes to the positive things conflict can bring about and learn ways of how to work out conflict, they wouldn't see it in such a negative way. I also believe that people see it negative because that is how it is portrayed throughout media. If we all can take what we learned in this class and pass off the information to a few other people and they do the same then we can try to make a change a few people at a time. There was a lot of information that I learned in this class about conflict management that I had never learned before. We have to be able to change our minds to embrace conflict rather than fear it.
