Week 3: in class blogger assignment

1. Describe the number one cause of interpersonal conflict and how open and clear communication can help reduce it. Number one cause is Lack of clarity. Bad communication is a major role in interpersonal conflict, and what you can do to help clarify a situation would be maybe to step in there shoes, or look at there point of view. 

2. I would say assertive would be the must desire able because it's a win/win state of being.  Assertive is a compromise situation and your productive. Passive is the kind of person that doesn't want to rock the boat, people don't respect you, and it's a lose/lose. Aggressive would be wont budge, do what they want, and in these one it's got a win/lose. Assertive is a compromise situation and your productive. 

3. The concept of win/win is that you come to an understanding or agreement. Win/win differs from win/lose by when both people win then there's no argumentative discussion and when there's a win/lose there could be world war three on your hands. A no deal would be when you have a assertive and a aggressive person together cause aggressive person will be the one that doesn't want to compromise and assertive will so that leads to a no deal.

4. The effective people put there focus in the circle of influence because they are setting a goal. The circle of concern is just using up energy and not making a difference. 

5. So Compromising means that each person gets partially satisfied but not completely satisfied. Collaboration is like making the conflict expand in order for both to get the same amount. Maintaining  trust among people speaking and listening with sensitivity and empathy, it’s possible to achieve total need satisfaction for both of them. With synergy, you could come up with a creative solution that  satisfies everyone’s needs, they could achieve a 100/100 agreement instead of a 50/50 split. I would say collaboration is an effective way for win/win agreement.
