Forgiveness can be an integral part in conflict resolution and even a strong factor in psychological and physical health. Some philosophers state that forgiveness is a gift to the person doing the forgiving, not necessarily for the forgiven.
Using what you learned from your readings (including chapter 9 in Cahn and Abigail) and additional research from the UAGC library:
Compare and contrast the ideas of forgiveness and the concept of reconciliation, as they relate to communication.
Describe a situation in which someone has committed a difficult to forgive relational transgression against you and explain the advantages of forgiveness and reconciliation, emphasizing communication aspects.
Conclude by discussing how understanding these concepts informs your communication techniques in a conflict.
