Week 16 - Post 3


            Over the course of this semester, I learned so many valuable things about handling conflict. I learned what to do when a conflict occurs, how to handle my anger when something really gets to me, how to forgive, how to handle revenge, and tips and techniques on what to do during conflicts. The most important things that I learned in this class throughout the semester was the different process views of conflict, the different behaviors (self, relationship, or other-centered), the S-TLC system, how to manage stress and anger, and forgiveness. I really enjoyed learning about these specific topics because I was able to apply it to my life and the people around me. Since I live in my sorority house, there will be conflicts that I will be in and that I will witness. Through taking this class, I have a better grasp on what to do when I am in conflict as well as when I am witnessing them. I feel that I can better advise my friends, family, and sorority sisters with numerous tips on things that really do apply to our lives, such as stress and being assertive. I loved everything I learned in this class and can honestly say that everything was extremely beneficial.

  1. Hey California girl! It seems as if you have learned a lot this semester and that is great. I know that I have learned many practical skills that can be used in my present conflicts. I feel as if I now know how to manage my anger better and communicate when I am in a conflict with the other person. One thing that did stick out to me was the S-TLC system too. I think it is useful in any situations, conflict or not, to stop and think, listen and communicate with the other person. Honestly I feel that we did learn a lot of things that we are able to use right now. Good job on this weeks post!

  2. Hi California Girl,

    I liked what you posted in your blog. I think this class has taught us all a lot. I think knowing how to deal with conflict will not only help us in this class, but also outside of this class. Also, dealing with anger is very important in every day life. It seems like people are always trying to get under one anothers skin, causing anger. After taking this class, we have learned how to cope with our anger and how to deal with these kind of uncomfortable situations.
