1. After view both videos I actually got a great perspective on how to handle conflict. The first video I watched was by Julian and he talked about how to handle a tight situation. He mentioned how listening was a huge aspect of life and making sure you are able to listen before taking action. He mentioned 5 things every individual can do in Concious Listening which is1. Silence: take out 3 mins of your day just to stay silent and not listen to anything, this is basically a method used to restart yourself. 2. The Mixer: How many different “channels” or things can you hear.3. Savoring: also known as “hidden choir”.4. Listening Position: If an individual is able to move their listening to a different location or object.and Finally 5. Acronym. Hearing this Ted talking give me a whole new outlook and to better understand how I handle situations. Next I watched Campbell and Clarkes video, I liked how they explained their Ted Talk. They mentioned tramatic and happy experiances that each women went through during their life. It gave me a sense of understanding on how each women handled their conflicts in life.2. I believe conflict can make or break an individual, it depends on the human-being and the situation they undergo. For example, Campbell and Clarke both went through tramatic experiances. One went through pain and handles conflict in a fearful way and the other individual went through growing up at a young age so she handles conflict in a “fighting” way.3. After watching both videos I understood how I handle conflict and why I handle it in that way. I went though living in a household where rather than talking out our issue we would blame one another and fight with one another. As I grew up most of my relationships ended becuase I would close down and feel attack anytime someone would try and talk to me. I would always believe they hate me and are trying to fight with me and thats because my upbringing was portrayed this way. Now I understand to talk it out and if someone is trying to talk to me they are not always trying to attack me but to better my understanding of the situation. 4. My approach prior to watching these videos would have harmed me and the career I am begining. I probably would keep quite in situation and always think that everyone is out to get me. Hopefully, I now have a better understanding on how to handle conflict in certin situations.

1. After watching both videos, I do believe that conflict can bring out the best in people, if everyone involved is open to listening to other points of view. I know from experience that some people can be very stubborn and believe that their opinion is the only one that matters. In cases like this, I don’t beleive that anything good could come from conflict. However, if all parties are willing to hear each other out, I do think that good ideas could be produced. 2. Personally, I do not like conflict so I try to avoid it. I don’t think my feelings about conflict stem from my past; all I know is that conflict has always made me feel uncomfortable and very anxious. This is why I thought Clarke and Campbell’s TED talk was very interesting because I never saw conflict as something that could be good. 3. Before watching the two videos, I never thought there was anything wrong with avoiding conflict. In fact, I thought that I was doing a good thing by removing myself from any conflict situations. Of course now I know that conflict can lead to good things, but in the past, I always saw conflict as something bad.
