3). Pick one concept from the reading this
week and discuss it in detail. Be sure to relate the concept/idea
to your personally by using examples from your life and/or experiences.
The idea of natural born conflict is a
concept that I really enjoyed in this weeks reading. I think that the idea of
nature vs nurture has always interested me and I have typically always sided
with things being nurture related. But when it came to the idea of conflict as
a natural born trait, I can definitely see the nature side of this. I think
that people are born with a desire to create conflict. It is a human’s way of
doing things the way that they want to or to express their own opinion. My
example in the first post was about how toddlers always want everything that
someone else has. It is something that I come across every day. I coach kids of all ages and the young ones all have a desire to take things and just say no because they can. Naturally, kids
want to play with the toys that other kids have and their instinct is to just
take them because they feel like it is their right to have it. This is a
naturally occurring conflict. Saying no is another natural conflict. Most kids learn the word and what it means very easily but since most of the time, they don't have a lot of control over their life at a young age, they want to take control by creating conflict and tell everyone no. When it comes to solving conflict, I definitely
think that is a nurture trait. Solving conflict is what makes conflict valuable
and how well you solve conflict will determine how valuable your problems
solving skills are later in life.
