Week 16 Post 3

Over the course of the entire semester, I learned many things that helped deal with and resolve conflict.  My favorite concept that I learned over the course of the semester was the S-TLC System. Although this system seems fairly straightforward, it is something that can be extremely helpful during a time of conflict. I have been in a few conflicts since learning this concept and just thinking about the 4 steps helped me resolve my situation in a positive manner. While working on my workshop, I also learned a lot about dealing with conflict that occurs within families.  Another chapter that was really helpful to me was the chapter on managing anger. This applied to me because I will sometimes lose my cool during certain situations. I was able to learn different techniques on how to deal with this anger and keep the situation under control. This class has been very helpful as it applies to everyday life and will certainly help us deal with different conflicts that we come across in the future.
