I generally try to avoid conflict. I am not a person who is
constantly playing devil’s advocate or trying to stir up trouble in a
situation. I am quick to look for compromise in a situation. The only time I
refuse to compromise is if it is involving something that I feel ethically tied
to.
The two strategies I look to the most are compromise and promoting
a supportive climate for communication. I feel that the best thing to respect
the views and perspective of the other party involved, just as you would want
them to have for you.
I am practicing my communication goals and am trying to strengthen
the areas in which I showed to be weak. One of those areas was group
communication. I am entering group communication situations now feeling more
prepared to be involved the discussion instead of hoping to blend into the
background.
I am excited to keep working on my goals!
Hi April,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your blog post this week. I also am not one who enjoys conflict and I do my best to avoid it as well. However sometimes it is not possible, especially when I strongly believe in something and feel ethically bound to stand my ground, just as you stated in your post. I believe in those situations that it is worth defending my beliefs, even if it means I invite conflict by doing so.
Hi April
ReplyDeleteNice post, I understand where you are coming from, i am one of those people who do not enjoy conflict. Although it may be hard to avoid sometimes but it causes problems and a lot of heart ache. Depending on the situation sometimes it is worth defending what you think is right.
