Communications Question

For this essay, I ask that you think about an organization that you are either a part of today, or that you have been a part of in the past. This should be a formalorganization (i.e., job, student organization, religious/spiritual organization, community group, recreational group, etc.), and NOT an informal group (i.e., family, group of friends). Now think about this organization with respect to the conflictthat invariably occurs within the organization from time to time.

What areas/issues seem to cause the mostconflict for people?

Who are the conflicts typically between?

How are the conflicts usually dealt with? Are they addressed directly? Indirectly? Are they ignored? What typically happens?

Are they usually resolved to everyone’s satisfaction?

Do the same conflicts seem toreoccur?

DO NOT compose this essay as “question and answer” to the prompts above, but create an integrated narrative that weaves your experiences and insights together and addresses each of them.
