Activity #9 Conflict Resolution
Directions
Part 1:
For this activity, please reflect on the following situation in regard to your conflict style:
You are currently living with two room mates. One room mate always pays their portion of the bills on time, cleans up after themselves, and offers to help around the apartment as needed. The other room mate does not clean after themselves, always takes advantage of the apartment complexes three day rent grace period (as in they do not technically pay on time), and never offers to help with general day to day maintenance around the apartment. It is really starting to bother you that the third room mate does not pay on time, does not clean up after themselves, and does not offer to help with general maintenance around the apartment.
Next, please answer the following prompts about the situation as your initial reply on the discussion board by Friday at 11:59 P.M.
- How would you handle the situation?
- Which type of conflict style would you classify your approach as and why?
Format:
This assignment should be typed, double spaced, times new roman, 12 point font, and should be 7 to 10 complete sentences long. Please reference at least 2 course concepts from the textbook/ lecture and bold and underline these concepts.
Part 2
For part 2 of this assignment, please respond to two peers and answer the following prompts by
- How would you handle the situation similarly/ differently than the peer you are replying to?
- Any suggestions/ anything you would add to their plan on how to approach the situation and why (make sure to connect this back to what was discussed in the conflict lecture)?
Example 1 Ethan
If I were in this situation, I would address the situation directly by talking to the roommate. It would aggravate me if someone was taking advantage of the rules and just keep the rest of us on edge. Despite financial burden they also bring along a maintenance burden on the rest of us making us have to not only clean after ourselves but them on a consistent basis. Prior to the talk I would pray and ask the Lord Jesus Christ to grant me grace and kindness as I know the conversation could be very tempting and make me susceptible to anger. I would be very honest and fall under a competing conflict style because it would be extremely straightforward about the issue instead of ignoring it. I would try not to be too hostile and keep the conversation respectful, this relates to assertive communication. I would clearly express my concerns while trying hard to still respect the other person and value them above myself. Constantly seeking an agreement and reconciliation rather than separation. I believe addressing the issue is greater than allowing tension and discomfort to build in my household.
Example 2 Arena
If I were in this situation, I would request a private conversation with the roommate whose behavior is creating distress for me. In this conversation, I would calmly explain how the late rent payments and lack of cleaning are affecting my overall living environment. Because we share a space that is built on interdependence, each person’s actions directly impact everyone’s comfort level and also financial stability. I would use I-Language by expressing how I feel stressed when the bills are payed behind schedule and shared living areas are left messy. This approach helps to reduce defensiveness and keeps the focus on solving the issue’s I care about rather than creating more. My overall strategy reflects collaborating conflict style, since I would aim to work together to tackle the problem and find a fair solution. To create accountability, I would suggest a chore schedule and an agreed-upon internal rent deadline so that responsibilities are clear, defined, and agreed upon for the future to limit future conflict or disagreements in these areas.
