The conflict must be intrapersonal or interpersonal in nature (not impersonal or casual relationships)
Select actual conflicts or problems rather than inconveniences or annoyances
You will submit both conflicts and Identify which conflict you’re resolving (Conflict #1 or #2 but not both)
Be sure solutions are detailed enough to manage or resolve conflict so it doesn’t reoccur
ALL solutions need to be win-win, realistic and effective for the person who wrote the entry, the other person and the relationship (all entities in a relationship)
You must select a problem that is currently unresolved and seek assistance to manage/resolve it
You will take notes on solutions your partner gives you in class and expand on them for the Conflict Journal. Your discussion in class is just the beginning of figuring out the solutions. It is unlikely your partner will provide all the details of the solutions.
There are two parts to each solution: 1) First, describe at least TWO specific solutions and 2) second, analyze them. Describe the solution thoroughly and analyze its impact on you, the other person and the relationship.
Include actual dialogue if you recommend the person talk with another person. To say “talk with the other person” isn’t a viable solution without specific verbiage (give in-depth dialogue as best as you can—nothing generic or general).
