Conflict and Resolution Introduction In every fictional story, there must be a conflict to enhance the development of the plot of the fictional story. More often than not, these conflicts often depict the conflicts that are present in our societies. Therefore, it is very important for the reader of a story to be able to accurately identify the conflict in the story. There should include a resolution of the identified conflict because the presence of a resolution in any story shows that all challenges can be overcome and how to overcome them. Most times, the conflict in a fictional story is made up of the main adventures or events that take place between the protagonist and antagonist of the fictional story. This paper is going to use “The Kite Runner” by Khaled Hosseini as its fictional story. Summary             The story begins when Amir, the protagonist in the story, remembers what happened when he was just a boy back in Afghanistan, his home country. He lived with his father, Baba, and two other servants, Hassan and his father, Ali. Hassan…

Conflict Resolution & Negotiation Section 1 According to the interactionist view, conflict is regarded as a positive drive within a group and is very necessary if the group is to perform effectively. (Hefferman, 2012) suggests that most organizations do not think, not because they do not want to but because they cannot since the employees or the management are too afraid of conflict. According to the speaker, organizational employees are fearful of raising issues or concerns at work due to the possible conflict they might provoke; they are afraid of engaging in arguments that they cannot manage since they fear to lose (Hefferman, 2012). I tend to agree with Heffernan that most organizations do not think, and they approach conflict by avoiding it as opposed to applying an interactive or collaborative approach. Previously, I have worked with different organizations, mostly on a voluntary capacity. In one of the organizations, there was a sexual harassment issue between a supervisor and a subordinate. In fact, there had been several such cases previously, and some of them had been reported to the management.…

Barriers to Conflict Resolution in Home Hospice Care Organizations, particularly healthcare settings, are faced with inter-professional conflicts. The article by Brown et al. emphasizes the barriers to conflict resolution, which include the individual in less powerful positions, insufficient time and workload, lack of motivation and recognition of a given conflict, and emotional discomfort arising from one’s fear to confront a conflict. Hospice care management, for instance, is much vulnerable to conflicts patients and staff, and among the workers themselves in the course of their practice. The paper explores the theme of barriers to conflict resolution as eminent in Hospice care management. Hospice care encompasses considerable workload, and practitioners execute their roles within limited time frames, thereby making it cumbersome to resolve conflict. Besides, the workload provides professionals with inadequate time for communication. Team conflicts escalate when particular concerns do not become resolved, and the increase in workload can result in frustrations of workers, making it much difficult to solve a problem (Brown et al., 2011, p. 7). Besides, delivering care to critically ill individuals is associated with inherent stress. Breffni…

Science vs. Religion(Conflict between Science and Religion) In Inherit The Wind, the lawyer Henry Drummond defending Cates makes a better logical argument than Brady. Brady had the assumption of being right since he quoted the bible and failed to provide ideas as compared to Drummond. He questioned the truth of the facts presented before the court challenging the reason his client was denied the free will, yet Brady argued every man had free will. Also, Brady was only interested in the truth other than the facts behind the truth. For instance, he says he is not concerned with the age of the rock but the rock of ages. When it comes to debating matters of deeply held beliefs, logic has no sense. The issue becomes a thing of proving which is right or wrong though all is right. It ends turning the argument into a conflict of either side by proving each other wrong. It is hard to use logic to understand spirituality. Rational thinking informs the applicability of things and questions every aspect of it, while spirituality tends to…

Workplace and Family Conflicts Workplace Scenario The workplace conflict I would love to express is the disagreement among student leaders on how the president of the council is to be elected. Whereas some felt like it was unfair to have the president voted in by only the elected leaders, others thought that the current system of election was appropriate because it aided in preventing extreme political tensions within the school. For the former group, the voting in of the president needed to be done by all students because they felt that sometimes the elected leaders are not a true reflection of the students’ preferences, and letting the students select their supreme leader was the ultimate demonstration of democracy. The source f conflict, in this case, was interpersonal because it involved two groups divided over the matter at hand and claiming opposite opinions on the issue at hand. In the end, however, the conflict was resolved by negotiation and discussion. The members of the student union discussed amongst themselves the most appropriate way to take. One group chose to compromise after…

Conflict of Interest in Clinical Trials Clinical trials are medical studies or researches which study the effectiveness of tests and treatments. Physicians conduct these studies to track diseases, the efficacy of drugs, alternative drugs among other clinical tests. Undoubtedly, a conflict of interest emerges when physicians enroll patients in a clinical trial in which they are principal investigators. The medicine sector experiences a lot of clinical trials to support its research by evidence. However, Lader et al (2014) affirms that unethical issues arise due to several factors leading to a conflict of interest when enrolling patients. Such conflict may occur due to limited financial incentives provided by a health institution (Federman et al, 2015). In this case, the principal investigators may enroll patients who do not meet the entry criteria for their financial gains; thus, inefficient data collection. Moreover, during clinical trials physicians violate the patient’s rights when choosing treatment arms of the trial. Since it is a medical trial only the patients who consent to the tests should be considered (Lysaught et al, 2015). However, some principal investigators believe…

Was the Cold War inevitable? Were there other avenues that the leaders of the U.S and Soviet Union could have pursued to avoid an ever-escalating conflict? If the cold war was inevitable, who bears the largest burden of blame and why? The post WW2 world was largely defined by the political, economic, and military rivalry that emerged between one-time allies, the United States and the Soviet Union. This conflict, commonly referred to as the “Cold War” resulted not only in major changes in the United States global relationships, but also exerted a profound influence on U.S domestic policy and politics. One of the most intriguing and oft debated questions among historians is whether or not this conflict was inevitable or was brought on by decisions made by political and military leaders on either side of the so-called “Iron Curtain”.[unique_solution] For this assignment, in a short, 3 to 4 page essay (double spaced, 12-point font, Times New Roman) I would like you to attempt to answer the question of whether or not the Cold War was inevitable. When answering this question,…

Understanding Inequality: Structural Functionalism and Conflict Theory In our contemporary society, there are problems such as high crime rates, domestic violence, and unemployment. However, cases of inequality based on someone’s race has existed for a long time. W.E.B Dubois explored this issue in his book, “The Souls of Black Folk.” By referring to this book, the essay will analyze the relationship between social constructionism and social structures and racism to help understand the behavior of society. The main idea in the book is racism. Racism includes the unfair treatment of an individual based on their race. In the book, Dubois explores how free the African-Americans are, despite the abolition of slavery. Also, in the first paragraph, he suggests that the main problem in the 20th century was the color line (DuBois 7). He admits that he felt jealous of his son, who died before experiencing the effects of racial prejudice. Moreover, the book shows how understandings of the world are developed in society. Also, Dubois suggested that what is viewed as reality by people and the community can be changed…

Conflict in Cherie Dimaline’s The Marrow Thieves  The Marrow Thieves is centered on the main character Frenchie and a mythically dystopian future where the effects of climate change ravage the entire Canadian society, taking away the individuals’ ability to dream. However, the individuals from the indigenous groups never lost their dreaming ability, an attribute that was attributed to their bone marrow, leading to the rise of conflicts between the First Nation communities and other parties. Dimaline noted that even the indigenous people would be asking themselves questions like “how could they best appropriate the uncanny ability we kept the dream” (81). The presence of the bone marrow in their body and the belief that harvesting the bone marrow could help the entire Canadian society brought conflicts in various ways. Thus, in Dimaline’s story, the theme of conflict manifests in different levels and multiple ways as it highlights the conflicts that emanate from the motive to cause suppression and marginalization of the indigenous people. Migwaan notes that “We go to the schools and they leach the dreams from where our ancestors hid them,…
