"The Beauty of Conflict"

1. Do you think communication is enough in solving a conflict? Justify your answer.
For me, it is 50/50. After watching the video, my perception towards solving a conflict by the
means of communication had widen. Communication is not enough in solving a conflict but still, it
depends on the situation and the people involve. Communication with an open mind and
understanding, plus actions will solve a conflict.
2. Why does the speaker want us to view conflict positively? What can we get from adopting this
point of view?
The speaker, Mr Clair Canfield stated that “what if it’s not a problem but a solution?” referring to
“conflict”. Having a positive mind-set and perception towards things can have different results than
looking at the negative side of things. Viewing or looking at conflicts positively can help us grow.
Why? Because we get to understand things more. From the point of view of the other party and how
we respond as well. We can be more understanding and patient and with this, we can have more
positive outlooks in life.
3. What are the three (3) keys enumerated by the speaker in solving a conflict? Think of a conflict
that you are experiencing currently and how to use these "keys".

• Recognize what are conflicts is about

• Recognizing when you are stuck
• Start learning to speak responsibly
I currently do not really experience any conflict nor experienced strong disagreements before
that leads to arguments leading to a conflict. But then if ever I would experience conflict in the
future, I would try my best not to let my strong emotions take over me and let it out instantly, hence,
I would try to talk it out to them or the other party for us to solve this peacefully and learn from each
other’s mistake, of course with the three keys in mind, that way we can avoid having negative and
bad vibes around each other.
4. What does VOCAB mean? How are these concepts important in solving your conflicts in life?
Vulnerability
Ownership
Communication
Acceptance

VOCAB is “the language of responsibility”. With the terms above, VOCAB is meant to be
away to take communication and facing conflicts responsibly. Not just for the sole purpose of
fixing or solving the conflict but also within we, to nurture the good side and grow. This is to
have good relationship with other, even the world around us. VOCAB can help us solve our
conflicts in life and create change for the betterment of ourselves and the people around us.
