Chapter 16 question 1
I think that people have a negative view of conflict is because people are afraid of confronting a problem. If it relates to problems most people would love to avoid the situation instead of trying to attack it head on and find a easier solution. Most people also either don't like getting attack, or even giving out the attack. I bet most people usually handle a situation where its on impulse; meaning if someone kept nagging and your on your boiling point you will eventually burst. I also believe that people view this negatively because they don't know how to handle being put in a conflict situation; how to manage stress, how to use the S-TLC system, what communication options is best. If people start to learn more about conflict and how to handle it, I think they would fear it less because of past experiences where they might of handled it wrong and the learning tools provided from Abigail and Cahn would get these people to a greater outcome.
