Effective Conflict Resolution
Effective Conflict Resolution By Katie Harms There are many different forms of conflict resolution but very few are effective and most leave a lack of respect for the parties involved. There are two main methods of conflict resolution which are authoritative methods and alternative methods. ... Usually the parties involved agree upon the solution and all parties involved in the conflict get a say in what will happen. In this paper I am going to focus on three ways of alternative conflict, they are facilitation, mediation, and conciliation. ... Facilitation does not work for everyone or every conflict, which is why there are different kinds of conflict resolution. ... In peer mediation a trained student, meaning someone who has undergone a course of learning about mediation and that other feel is competent, help their peers find a resolution to the conflict that brought them to the process of mediation. This process is not about establishing who is right and who is wrong in the conflict, it is about having them move past the immediate conflict and learn how to appreciate each other and get along in a healthy manner. ... The third method of conflict resolution I am going to look at is conciliation. Conciliation is when a conciliator helps the different parties having the conflict find an understanding of the others side, side meaning attitudes, emotions, and needs.
