MidTerm Reflection

Part One

Identify and analyze at least three theoretical foundations of conflict that you believe impacts a person’s ability to resolve a conflict. Each theoretical foundation must have a separate paragraph that fully explains the theory and how the theory impacts conflict resolution. Within each paragraph, provide a good overview of the theoretical foundation utilizing at least one in-text citations from your Barsky textbook and one additional citation from a scholarly journal article to support your claims, the strengths and weaknesses of this theoretical foundation, and your personal thoughts on the applicability of this theoretical foundation to you. You may not use any direct quotes unless you are quoting from the Bible. You are required to use correct APA formatting for your writing style and all in-text citations. Some examples of a theoretical foundation for conflict resolution are Needs Theory, Personality Theory, Power Theory, and Behavior Theory. (Please remove this paragraph from your final submission. Your three original paragraphs should be the only items under Part One.)

Part Two

Please reflect on the different conflict resolution strategies you have learned about so far in the course. Identify two strategies you would like to improve on for the remainder of the course. This section should be a minimum of two paragraphs with one paragraph for each strategy you would like to improve. Within each paragraph, provide a good overview of the conflict resolution strategy you would like to improve, the rationalization for selecting this strategy, and your plan for how to incorporate or improve this strategy in your personal and/or professional life. You must include at least one in-text citations from your Barsky textbook, scholarly journal articles, and/or the Bible to support your explanation of the strategy, your selection of the strategy, and/or your personal thoughts on the applicability of this strategy to you. You may not use any direct quotes unless you are quoting from the Bible. You are required to use correct APA formatting for your writing style and all in-text citations. (Please remove this paragraph from your final submission. Your two original paragraphs should be the only items under Part Two.)
