Conflict Journal
The underlying assumption of the journal is that self-awareness is a prerequisite to effective conflict resolution. The journal allows you to organize and verbalize your thoughts, and to perceive changes and growth in your conflict behaviors. It also allows you to apply what you’re learning to real-life situations. Apply concepts of conflict resolution directly to your behavior.
Use the journal to reflect on your readings and/or class discussion topics. Pay attention to the everyday conflicts you encounter and observe. Reflect on situations at work and at home. Analyze your communication and refer to concepts learned in class to explain the causes and effects of your behavior. Tie discussions in class to things you experience or observe.
