Why is perception so critical in resolving conflicts? Why does it not help to be too adamant that you are “right” in a conflict? What is an example you have experienced or observed where part of the problem was failing to be aware of the other person’s point of view?
Recognize conflict beliefs by exploring language usage. The way we think and talk about conflict reveals what we believe about it. And as we believe, about conflict, so we act either to use conflict for good or for ill. One way to find out is to ask ourselves, “What does conflict feel like to me?” Perhaps you might say, “Conflict is an inferno.” “Conflict is a fight that I never win.” “Conflict is a black hole to avoid at all costs.” Or maybe you say to yourself: “Conflict is my ally. Nobody dares mess with me.”Think about a conflict you have been a part of or have observed. Select one of the negative metaphors from the reading that applies to the conflict, or provide a metaphor of your own that is a better fit. Given the metaphor, how could the conflict be resolved? Suggest three ways. Now choose a positive metaphor from the reading (or create one of your own). Apply this to the conflict scenario. Given the new metaphor, what three options would you now have that you didn’t before?
Describe conflict and conflict resolution, drawing from the readings. What stood out to you as you read the material? What insight or new learning are you taking away with you?

Other Alternatives – Bring his family requesting VISA: This alternative does not work for John because the process will take at least 14 years, his parents were old. The family in Cuba could built a raft in Cuba and try on their own, so they request asylum by wet feet , dry feet policy: This alternative would not work either because in Cuba the people doesn’t have the possibilities to built a good raft. conclusion/result : The results of this case study is called double effect because all alternatives were exhausted, therefore it is permitted to perform an action to pursuit of a good end purpo
