Conflict


Interpersonal Conflict

Learning how to resolve conflict is a skill that requires both self-awareness and other-awareness. For this assignment, create a presentation in which you share a story about an experience where you were involved in an interpersonal conflict with another individual. As part of your presentation, explain how communication behaviors and individual differences contributed to this conflict, and recommend a strategy for resolving similar conflicts in the future. Remember, while conflict is emotional, your presentation should be professional and academic. You are telling an objective story that occurred in the past.

First, create an outline in which you organize your thoughts. Use this outline to record a 3–4 minute narrative, using Kaltura or another presentation tool. Upload both the outline and the presentation (or a link to it) to the assignment area.

Include the following in your presentation:

  • Define the conflict in your own words.
  • Describe communication behaviors that led to this conflict.
  • Explain how communication behaviors affect interpersonal relationships.
  • Explain how individual differences contribute to interpersonal conflict.
  • Present coherently to support a central idea.

Assignment Requirements 

Your presentation should meet the following requirements:

  • Verbal communication: Presentation is well organized and engaging, with clear, audible audio.
  • Standard formatting: Use Kaltura or another presentation tool, such as PowerPoint with audio or a short podcast. The format you choose for your presentation must be one that your instructor can access for review and grading. You may submit links to recorded presentations that you have saved online and given your instructor access to. Do not submit files from nonstandard software programs.
