The submission must be typed, double-spaced, and have uniform 1-inch margins in 12-point Times New Roman font.

What would the student have done differently, based on what he or she has learned in the class?

Paper For Above instruction

The task requires students to analyze a personal conflict encountered within an organization, providing a comprehensive case study that demonstrates understanding of conflict dynamics and resolution strategies learned in the course. The paper should be between five and seven pages long, adhering to formatting standards of double-spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins.

The analysis should begin with a detailed account of the background and history leading to the conflict. It is essential to contextualize the situation, identifying the key individuals involved, the organizational setting, and the initial issues that sparked the dispute. This section should provide an in-depth understanding of the circumstances that set the stage for the conflict.

Subsequently, the paper needs to address how and why the conflict escalated. This involves exploring the interactions that intensified the disagreement, such as miscommunications, emotional reactions, power struggles, or conflicting interests. Analyzing escalation helps to understand the underlying causes and contributing factors that prolonged or deepened the conflict.

Following this, the resolution process must be examined. The student should describe how the conflict was eventually managed or resolved, detailing the methods used, such as negotiation, mediation, or organizational intervention. It is important to evaluate whether the resolution was effective and what outcomes ensued from these actions.

Finally, the paper should include a reflective component where the student considers what they would have done differently, applying the theoretical knowledge gained from the course. This reflection demonstrates critical thinking and the ability to connect academic concepts to real-world experience.
