ETHC445 Principles of Ethics

Week 6 Discussion

Working Conflict Resolution Methods

This week, we are discussing conflict resolution in the context of ethics. We've all met with conflict at home, at work, with friends, or in public. The way we take on conflict can tell us a lot about our ethics. For our discussion this week, please do the following.

Investigate a conflict (political, economic, family, workplace, school, military, ideological, ethnic, religious, social?) you've heard about in the media lately. (Neither BLM nor Jan. 6th, as these have been discussed in detail previously.) Explain it briefly and provide a link/source. (My first post offers "raw material.")

Apply one of the conflict resolution methods from our lesson (Laura Nash, Front Page of the Newspaper, Blanchard and Peale, or egoism/ Ayn Rand's Objectivism) to this conflict. You might do some role-playing, perhaps becoming one of the parties involved. How would your chosen method solve this conflict? Who are the major actors in this conflict, and what steps or processes would they need to follow in this method, to what result? As this week progresses, we will expand this discussion, looking at conflict resolution in our own lives and comparing methods based on possible strengths and weaknesses. Check out the excellent pro/con controversies at Britannica (Links to an external site.). Let's share ideas!
