Many theories view conflict as a life situation. The hallmark of this relationship is the point of contention, which makes the conversation so heated. It should be understood that this type of conversation is very different from the usual one conducted by two or more people. An important feature is that such contentious situations often cannot be controlled, and this depends on the personal qualities of the people in conflict with each other. A vast range of theories explains not only the possible outcome but also the cause of conflict, some of which will be discussed in this paper.
This theory, the analysis of which this essay will focus, is a classical one, and most problematic situations begin with the way researchers interpret it. According to this theory, the main components of these conversations are people whose views are quite different in the same situation. It is also worth noting that the poor quality of communication is the less important feature of conflicts because they arise, according to the theory. It is not the technical aspect but the rhetoric of the people who explain their position and present arguments. Often this is inappropriate, and such conversations can only worsen the situation.
Thus, a second distinctive feature of this classical theory is formed. It states that conflict does not have good consequences since they all aim to prove one point of view (“Conflict Management – Theory, Style & Conflict Types – ThesisBusiness”). Finding a compromise solution to a problem or point of view takes some time, which cannot be done in a single conversation. The more advanced forms of such dialogues take more than one day to develop, which makes it possible to arrive at a consensus, but such cases are only isolated.
Such situations often arise not only in my own but also in the lives of others. Conflicts are an intrinsic part of many people’s existence since controversial situations occur very often, and it is impossible not to defend one’s point of view. It is not surprising that there is a whole science devoted to conflict resolution, which tells about the necessary steps to reduce conflict and the suitable strategic approaches to argue your point of view. A personal example of the application of such argumentation can be arguments with friends about watching a particular movie. Such situations arise in almost every person’s life on earth since everyone’s tastes are unique, and one cannot deny that everyone will argue their point of view. Therefore, to solve such situations, it is necessary to look for a compromise that will satisfy all parties to the conflict.
While considering this issue, I came across a study that looks at traditional and modern methods of conflict resolution in other countries, such as African countries. An essential feature of this study is to look at the cultural characteristics of the nations, which are different from the usual European and American countries (Akinwale 2021). It also helps to analyze the aspects of various conflict theories and how they relate to each other, as well as their distinctive features. Conflict is a method of conversation that does not belong to one country, and the views of different ethnic groups must be considered. After reading the paper, I was able to root this idea in my perception and treat such situations more correctly, putting into practice the knowledge I gained from my work.
