After reading Chapter 1 in its entirety, answer the
following question: Some argue that humans have an instinct for conflict. Do you think it is an inborn
trait? Does it make us more or
less human? If it is innate, is it
a valuable asset?
I believe that humans do
have the instinct trait for conflict. In our human nature we do have emotions
as well as preference. As kids we get into conflict because we want everything
for ourselves. Because of this selfish nature we get into conflict with other
kids who also want everything for themselves. Also because we all grew up with
different backgrounds and beliefs, we do not always get along with each other.
It makes us more human
because we are able to show emotions through our conflicts. This also helps us
think and wonder about what we really want and how to communicate it with
others. If we are able to resolve our conflict it also shows that we are human
enough to deal and fix the conflict.
This trait is a valuable
one because it differs us from animals. It helps us learn because we are able
to identify and resolve conflicts. We get to know what we desire and how to be
more desirable and work with people. It is also valuable because once the
conflict is solved the relationship between the two parties will be better.
