Discussion Board 1 – Conflict Triggers and Styles
Initial Post: Answer the following in your discussion.
#1 Using the Class Poll “Conflict Triggers,” select the main cause YOU BELIEVE to be a trigger (Poor Communication).
Briefly explain why you identified this trigger as being a primary cause of conflict.
Conflict to choose from: Poor Communication (I choose this one in the survey)
#2 Reflect on a recent conflict you had with a friend, family member, co-worker, or another person. In your own words, what escalated the interaction for you, or what was your trigger? These will be typically be feelings you have experienced in the past such as feeling excluded, powerless, unheard, judged, etc. You do not have to describe the event.
#3 After reviewing the Reading & Resources folder on Conflict Management Styles, identify which style was used by the other person in the conflict situation you just identified and how this style either helped or hindered resolution.
