Class Description:: Conflict is as an inevitable part of human relationships as is cooperation, but conflict strikes us more deeply. How well we manage conflict has more to do with social progress and the success of romantic relationships than mutual need or love. In this class we examine the nature, causes, and techniques for managing conflict across a wide variety of situations including societal clashes, psychological turmoil, group decision-making, intimate relationships, and organizational interactions. While each of these situations differs in important ways, there are commonalities in how conflict functions across them. We will look to those commonalities to understand the role of communication in conflict.
