How does an individual's point of view affect the way they deal with conflict?

Answer 1

The world would be boring if we didn't have a point of view, obviously all of my family, friends, neighborhood, lifestyle and a whole bunch of other things make me who I am, and it all determines my way of thinking, and it makes us a unique species. There is none like us. We are a special creation to doubt. Since I am a very consertive type very quite, I don't have many conflicts, I simple ignore any that come my way. That relieves alot of stree too. Good luck, hope this didn't cause a conflict!!

Answer 2

I used to wait at a bus stop near the Thames and not too far from Parliament in central London, just before 4pm on some days.

As a result, I was 'the queue.'

At 4pm, there were 'dozens' of elderly women (I imagined them to be 'tea ladies') who'd stream out of the Government Offices and when a bus emerged in the distance from Parliament Square, then by the time it reached the stop, I'd have somehow (sneaky of me I know, tut tut) managed to edge my way to the Back of the Queue.

There was a rugby like scramble of these women all trying to get on the bus.

I'd found out earlier and therefore wasn't too put out by this, that by simply standing there and not joining in with them, I could simply walk around them and board the next bus that 'always' drew up behind the first, or not at all unusually, board the 3rd bus even.

This 3rd bus ~ and it was not out of the question for a 4th bus to arrive too ~ ALWAYS pulled away before either of the first one or two and I sat back in comfort for my 10 minute bus ride home.

Now this may or may not answer your question, but I've been waiting for a chance to tell it for a while now ...However, your question as to > How does an individual's point of view affect the way they deal with conflict? <

There is the L-o-n-g answer and there is the short answer, 'It supplies a model of behaviour in which to deal with what may well become a crisies.' This model can be dependant on a wide range of experiences encounterd 1st hand, in person, or 2nd hand via TV / the media.

Sash.

Answer 3

Point of view or life experiences?

Very much! I am not going to see things the same as you. This comes with age, what we both have seen,heard and experienced. Resulting in a person forming points of views that may or may not be popular with others.
Those who have known violence are going to be either violent (aggressive in some way) to salve conflict or they will be opposite and afraid of conflict (run at the slightest sign of conflict).

Answer 4

It is my belief that when someone tries to deal with a personal conflict they always let there POV get in the way of the truth. Their POV is clouded with emotions, and sometimes there POV is distorted via how they were raised as a child or young adult.

Emotions are powerful and often dangerous. "Self" is a big problem.

Answer 5

Depends on their emotional maturity. POV isn't the end all, it does color pretty much every aspect of our lives, but an emotionally mature person can step back and use some prospective to view a situation.
