Chapter 11 & 12
Chapter 11: Conflict
Why are conflicts in close relationships inevitable?
Conflicts in close relationships are inevitable because you guys may so close in relation or so close in general that it may cause conflict. We tend to get tired of certain people’s ways but we value our relationship so much that we may endure conflict at one point in the relationship but it does not take away the value of the relationship and we choose to be okay with certain things.
What are conflict styles you use most? Why? Use least why?
Conflict styles that I use most would be avoidance, and the least would be comepeting. Sometimes I tend to choose my battles or sometimes I just feel that certain conflict is not worth my time. I avoid conflicts because I would say I’m not as confrontational as most people. The least one I would use is competing. I don’t always feel the need to be right in debates or arguments and will find more peace in leaving it alone.
Explain your passive aggression/direct aggression? What are your results in using these behaviors?
I would say that I am more passive aggressive. I only feel like I show direct aggression when I am really upset. I will often let certain things go if I feel they are not worth an argument but I know that if something were to make me very upset I would always stick up for myself.
Explain an ongoing serial argument that you are currently having, or witnessing. Why is this conflict difficult to resolve?
I feel like an ongoing argument I witness is the fact that these people are avoiding each other and until they communicate they will never resolve the conflict.
Why are the “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse” especially destructive?
I believe they were destructive due to the fact that they were extremely defensive.
Chapter 12: Communication Climate
Describe the communication climate of an important relationship in your life.
I think the climate of an important relationship in my life is empathy and neutrality because I am often imagining myself in my friend's shoes and I try to constantly relate to their problems or just in general.
How do you respond to face-threatening acts?
I would say no, be calm but assertive and give other ideas that my work.
Think of a time that you had to deliver bad news or when someone had to deliver bad news to you. Discuss the timing and environment of the conversation. Did you feel like the discussion occurred in a proper time and location? What would you have changed?
I remember when I was younger and I had just got home from school and my Dad told me that my Grandpa died. My Dad called me into the dining room and asked me to sit down because he wanted to talk. I was very anxious and nervous to hear what happened but it was a calm setting so I felt at ease but it was a very sad conversation because I was trying to wrap my head around the news that I was just given.
