Answer 1

If u have a power that u can put ur view in group soundly then it is a great chance that u will be a volunteer to resolve the conflict.
Another way is to just listen others and don't put ur views.

Answer 2

It depends on the group and the disagreement.

Not all conflicts can always be resolved into mutually acceptable agreements.

But with most successful agreements at least some compromising is required.

One technique, which is a good starting point, is to require group members to talk to the people they disagree with until they are able to accurately state the other persons' point-of-view to the approval of that other person.

Even if you are just interested in protecting your own vested position, it is very constructive to be able to fully appreciate the nature of the criticisms being made against you. They might be warranted, in which case an apology and a promise to correct your ways would be called for.

However if you are certain that the criticisms are not warranted, after considering dispassionately what other people have to say, remain true to yourself. Speak the truth, and ask for others to try to understand your position by listening respectfully to you --as you listened respectfully theirs.

If that doesn't work you can always fall back on the standard human responses: back biting, fighting, character assassination, rationalisation, hatred; withdrawal; etc. ; etc.

According to an extremely boring team work lecture I had to sit through at university you are supposed to let everyone have a turn at speaking, you are not allowed to yell and after everyone has had their turn to speak you get to say what you agree with and do not agree with about what the other people said. After this, you discuss the problem rationally and then if a resolve cannot be decided you hold a vote. If everyone except one or two people vote for a resolution, they usually should concede maybe they are going about it the wrong way. If it is a tie breaker then 'you have to agree to disagree.' Unfortunately as everyone knows, when you are in an argument you get angry and you think f**k the team work lecture you sat through in university, bored out of your brains, and yell your opinion as loud as you can. While I have been involved in and watching arguments, I have discovered that you can learn a lot about a persons personality, their weaknesses and if you stay rational and level headed, you can find a part of their argument which isn't very strong and prove them wrong. Imagine if you were stranded on the lost island and had to interact with other frightened people you didn't know. This is a situation where you cannot panic and behave irrationally. P.S. I wanted David or Nicolle to be voted off not you.

Hi Justin,
what a sad sad ep of celebrity survivor my most favourite tribe member was you! :( and you were voted off!!! I think the only way you can resolve conflict is by talking with the other team members and tell nothing but the truth. I dont believe what they were saying about you though! I think you are better than what they were saying... i reckon they may have been jealous!!

Miss seeing ya on the tv screen on thursday nights in fact i dunno if ill even watch it now! You were the best ever! :) You should go back to home and away!!!! :)

Answer 5

Try to figure out the source of accusations, why they've been made and by whom. Then confront the tribe member(s) and talk things out in a civil way.

I'm sooooo sorry that you are voted off Justin, it's the last thing I expected.
It may not help you much but for me you are the winner. You are HOT. Luvya.

Answer 6

Hi Justin
Firstly they should endeavour to find out the truth rather than just throw it out there like Imogen did.Then approach the person involved and calmy talk like adults.You never got a fair go because obviously she was going for the drama and stabbed you in the back. As did Gabby who will now freeze at night for the duration. I would love to curl up with you every night.The show wont be the same without you.I was crying when they voted you out.I love you lots sexy boy.

Answer 7
