Resolving conflict is a major part of life. If people don’t handle problems well, then things could go very bad for them. If they do handle them well, their problems will be fixed without any other issues. One of the most effective ways for solving conflict is using hope and courage. Both Anne Frank and some people in Dear Miss Breed used these techniques to deal with their problems.
In Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl and Dear Miss Breed, all of the main characters used a mix of hope and courage to solve the problems they were facing. Anne Frank, was a teenager who hid from the Nazis because she was Jewish. She used courage... “But as you can see, Kitty, I’m still alive, and that’s the main thing” (Frank)... to face the problem of loneliness and fear. In Dear Miss Breed, Louise, uses hope and courage to “find(ing) positive things to say about Poston”...(Oppenheim). Both characters in these stories

“Our fears make us defensive. We’re afraid to reveal ourselves. When people point out weaknesses, we retaliate and defend ourselves” (Warren). The problem faced here is how the person who has fear is afraid to tell the other person in the relationship their weaknesses and they don’t want to reveal themselves. By having hope and courage, you can overcome those fears and fix the problem in the relationship. The second thing that fear does to us is, “Our fears keep us distant. We don’t let people get close to us. We want to withdraw and hide our emotions. We don’t want to be open and honest” (Warren). The last thing that fear does to us is, “Our fears make us demanding. The more insecure we are, the more we try to control or dominate things. We try to have the last word in a relationship. This is always a symptom of fear and insecurity” (Warren). All these problems faced can be solved by using hope and
When individuals face obstacles in life, there is often two ways to respond to those hardships: some people choose to escape from the reality and live in an illusive world. Others choose to fight against the adversities and find a solution to solve the problems. These two ways may lead the individuals to a whole new perception. Those people who decide to escape may find themselves trapped into a worse or even disastrous situation and eventually lose all of their perceptions and hops to the world, and those who choose to fight against the obstacles may find themselves a good solution to the tragic world and turn their hopelessness into hopes. Margaret Laurence in her short story Horses of the Night discusses the idea of how individual’s responses
Fear is a powerful emotion. Wikipedia.com describes fear as “an emotion induced by threat perceived by living entities, which causes a change in brain and organ function and ultimately change behavior, such as running away, hiding or freezing from traumatic events.”Most people tend to avoid fearful situations, not realizing that something positive may come out of the event or experience.

“Fear becomes easier to master when the patient’s mind is diverted from the thing feared to the fear itself, considered as a present and undesirable state of his own mind; and when he regards the fear as his appointed cross he will inevitably think of it as a state of mind.” (9) Once the patient has figured out the states of fear, then they can conquer it. They immediately transfer paths so they do not get pulled into the dark forces. 1 John4:18 says “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love”
Fear is an everyday emotion that the human race must face, and it can bring out the best and worst of us, but its how we choose to deal with it that truly defines us.
Anne's optimistic personality created the hope that she had for her future. Each day she could do nothing but just hope that one day everything will turn around and be better. In The Diary Of Anne Frank play, she expressed, "It'll pass, maybe not for hundreds of years, but someday..." Deep down inside, she had the hope that all of the disgusting things that Hitler alongside his army performed, would all vanish one day. She knew for the most part that the hatred may never go away, but imagining that it might, made things at least a bit better. Anne's situation was pure negativity, with almost nothing good about it. The only good thing that may have come out of it for her were the relationships that she created with everyone in hiding with her. From the Van Daans, to Miep, she bonded amazing friendships with each person involved. Aside from that, Anne's personality stuck out more than anyone's because of the hope that she had, in such a terrible situation.
Fear influences people to make irrational decisions and take extreme measures. Often times, these actions are done to protect one’s reputation. Fear causes people to lie and manipulate to those they care about in order to escape what they are scared of most. Fear of failure has caused higher levels of anxiety, and has made society put blame on each other, rather than owning up to their mistakes. Fear can also cause one to forget one’s true identity and lose one’s values. There are two options that one can take when being faced with a fear: run away from the fear, or go through it and learn a valuable lesson in the end that will make you a stronger person. Fear is a harmful emotion that everyone has to go through in order to succeed.

In the Diary Of Anne Frank, there are two major people who show hope and courage. Those two people are Otto and Anne Frank (father and daughter).

In the story Chinese Cinderella by Adeline Yen Mah, Adeline's “battles” require courage and determination. Adeline needs to apply courage to her everyday life whether it is just taking the pain and moving forward or standing up for what she believes in. For instance, when little sister was getting beaten by Niang, Adeline stuck with what was right and stood up. “Quaking terror I blurted out, Don't beat her anymore. She's just a baby. My protest seemed to halt Niang in the midst of her protest. Little sister's screams simmered to a whisper.” (Yen Mah 34) Another example that required courage was when she was to be separated from her Aunt Baba. “The thought of being separated from my aunt filled me with dread. Somberly, I climbed the stairs and went back to the room and shared with her perhaps for the last time.” (Yen Mah 118) This shows how Adeline has enough self control to pick her battles and enough courage to follow through when
In the words of Bertrand Russell, “Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom” (Russell). Fear causes many problems in our lives. Fear influences many of a person’s actions and decisions. However, people usually regret the decisions or actions they made out of fear. Also, these actions and decisions can cause problems for those people in their future. Fear is a harmful emotion, for it clouds people’s judgement, disables them from taking action, and causes them to make decisions that they will regret later.
“Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.” Anne Frank is a great example of this. In her diary she explained what it was like in hiding from the Nazis in World War II. Anne Frank got a brush and a pot of glue from her father, she plastered the walls with paintings to make the attic more cheerful. Her attitude while in hiding is very positive, even if they lived in fear everyday for two years.
No one has a perfect life; everyone has conflicts that they must face sooner or later. The ways in which people deal with these personal conflicts can differ as much as the people themselves. Some insist on ignoring the problem for as long as possible, while others face up to the problem immediately to get it out of the way.
People face conflicts every day of their lives. We all come across at least one incident in our lives that is challenging and we are baffled on what decision is to be made. Such conflicts may be an inner-conflict, a conflict between oneself and nature, a conflict between oneself and another person, oneself and God, or one and society. This paper will describe an incident in my life involving a conflict.
Conflict is always present in human interactions. A conflict is not always a negative thing. Sometimes if it is handled properly, it will result in broadening one’s mind or giving one a chance to grow and change. On the other hand, if people were
