Please reflect on this week's in-class activity by answering the following questions. 

1. How did your answers compare to the answers of your group members (Conflict Situations)? Please illustrate how they were similar or different providing specific examples. 
2. At what point does a behavior change from nonviolent to violent? 
3. How does it feel when you are in an unbalanced power relationship? What is it like to have more power? Less power? 
4. What are your general and specific face needs?  

Sample:

The first example we come up was one of my peers had a harmful conflict in her sales work. She and another individual are the two top sales in the company. Last month was a huge bonus for the one that has the higher monthly revenue this create a lot of bad feelings such as avoidance when they cross by in the workplace,  loudly speaking if he makes a sell (bragging himself), talking down to my peer and once he names calling her while shouting. The second example was a nurturing conflict in were three employees arguing about the good ideas they have to help the company. That example shows the use of equal power, cooperation, trust and supportive behavior that encourage each other to bring creative ideas to the table.

In the first example after the reaction that turns the issue violent was he name calling while shouting at her and also giving her facial expressions. We identify this event as a violent conflict because is a win conflict in where the seller wants to wins at the expense of putting down his partner; he commits verbal abuse. Also, he feels threatening to someone else do better than him, so this will create an adverse effect on the conflict and encourage defensive behaviors from him.

I believe when you are in an unbalance power relationship abuses are explicit, such as overt threats or intimidation through words, action and some times it could lead in physical presence. This kind of control creates a climate of fear and a time bomb for destructive conflicts.My general face needs are always positive. I am likable and respectful with others. In specific I use supportive face management to help reinforce the other to feel important, try the other feel secure, I consult and reward with complements.
