Why do some people avoid conflict? There are many reasons that a person might avoid conflict such as: trauma, being a people pleaser, and fear of getting hurt. Having the ability to hurt someone else is also a huge responsibility and a person that avoids conflict would rather not cause harm or grief to another individual. This however, is not something that I directly relate to. I do not enjoy conflict whatsoever, but I do feel that it is important for two individuals to discuss a problem and find a solution. I am very adamant about problem solving. Sometimes problem solving can go through a phase of conflict but as long as there is a resolution I believe it is worth it. When a person suppresses their thoughts and feelings to spare another person it is a sign of insecurity. I am a firm believer that you should always put yourself first. However, there are some instances when avoiding conflict is necessary. For example, conflict at work is never good for the environment.

From this class I will take away many lessons. I learned that communicating effectively with people from other cultures and co-cultures requires us to be aware of how their behaviors and ways of thinking are likely to differ from our own. If you understand other cultures it makes it easier to communicate and comprehend without offending or not understanding the other cultures. Also, I can now differentiate between effective communication and appropriate communications, and how your message may not be both. Most importantly, I learned that the most important part of communication is understanding and LISTENING.
