Conflict Resolution Part 1
Get a group of humans together in one place and some form of conflict will inevitably arise.
Having a variety of personalities in one group can bring about differences of opinion, values, beliefs, culture, philosophies. and social concepts.
Individual personal issues such as emotional baggage, projections, and unhealthy boundaries can also add to the potential for conflict.
Using strategies for conflict resolution is imperative in order to establish and maintain peace within a community.
5 Methods for Conflict Resolution
If you are feeling angry and raw it is best to take some time to cool down before attempting further communication.
When you feel calm enough to communicate, listen to the other person without interrupting. Try to focus on what they are saying instead of just thinking about what you want to say next. Try to understand what they are saying from their perspective.
Use Active/Reflective listening. After the other person has finished communicating their thoughts, restate what they said to you. This shows that you were truly listening and it also helps to clarify any misunderstandings.
Remember to focus on the problem. Attacking the person will only result in further conflict. Try to avoid placing blame on the other person. Shouting, condescending statements, and personal insults must be avoided.
Don’t assume to know what the other person is thinking or feeling. Sometimes coflicts arise because we have an idea in our heads about someone’s intentions that may be wrong. Ask the other person what their intention is, what they are thinking, and how they are feeling. Effective and clear communication is key.

"No one is inherently wrong just because they disagree with you…"
"Start with the most basic facts and look at this from the most basic level - to get on the same page, both sides have to at least agree on and get that out of the way first. When someone has an opinion on something, that person is not at fault for not agreeing with someone else who holds an opposite opinion. The idea itself, that someone has an opinion on something is itself predicated on the notion that they disagree with the other person who holds a different opinion."

Yea, sounds good :) but when you try to have a constructive dialogue, listen to the person, let him express his opinion, for some reason he considers you weak. Therefore, in real life it is always a little bit more complex, every type of person needs a different attitude.

Thanks for the post. Upvoted. I also believe in the Marshall method of non-violent communication. Unfortunately, the social engineers steal everything valuable and use it against us and now we have the full therapeutizing of interactions between humans and the social control that creates more centralizing of power. The focus too much on the style can also detract from the conversation and the issues at hand in the conflict. I think the key is respect, period. Treat others in conversation as you wish to be treated and be prepared to have some back-bone going into discussions with those you do not agree with. @dakini5d Upped and following

Nice write up @aggroed, most times ego comes in the way; even after calming down, listening may be a problem, admitting to faults another problem and communication is hindered
