Conflict Managing

Students will write a final paper (10 pages) analyzing a conflict they have had (or one that is ongoing), where they apply the lessons learned in the course. The paper should begin with a brief description of the conflict—the conditions that created it, the actual conflict, and how it was resolved or left unresolved. (All INFORMATION ABOUT PART 1 OF THE PAPER IS IN THE PREVIOUS ORDER- YOU JUST HAVE TO COMBINE THAT INFORMATION WITH THE NEW PAPER THAT YOU WILL BE WORKING ON) Using the framework and tools from the Dignity Model, the second part of the paper will analyze the conflict in the dignity framework, using the tools to make recommendations for rebuild the relationship.
