This class helped me learn alot about conflict. My views on conflict were quite narrow and I was the type of person who saw conflict as always being negative. Throughout this semester, I have learned that conflict is a necessary part of our daily lives. it is how we manage conflict that leads to it either being negative or positive. I feel that I have better conflict management skills after taking this class. I can actually stop, think and listen now rather than just yelling or getting mad. The most important skill I have gained this semester is being able to turn a conflict into a positive situation. Arguments and confrontation will happen whether we like it or not, but now I am able to turn those bad situations into positive ones. Overall, I feel that I have a better view on conflict and am better able to make the best out of the situations I face.
