Discussion 2

Unit 2

Reflect for a moment about conflicts you may have had at work or at home. Think about what the conflicts have been about and how they were dealt with or resolved. How do you feel thinking about them now? Do you usually feel that conflict is resolved positively, or are your dominant feelings about conflict negative? Are your responses to conflict at work different from those to conflict at home or in your personal life?

Think back to a significant personal or professional situation that you found challenging. Write as if you are making an entry in your personal diary/journal and explore this situation. While reflecting on the events that took place, think about the emotions associated with them and how this affected your reactions and the outcome to the situation.

Unit 3

  3. People of a different religious background that you? Where did you get that message?
  4. People of a different educational background than you? Where did you get that message?
