As a Canadian individual in 2016 I have a very diverse family. My mother and father’s families are very different, but have both been involved in conflict. When discussing my family I will discuss my great grandparents and their experience with conflict in Europe. Furthermore I will talk about their values that have been passed on to me, how these values shaped my idea of conflict and how they shaped my idea of conflict resolution.
My great Grandparents immigrated to Canada from Europe after WW2. The war was the reason they decided to leave. In Holland there was a lot of struggling due to the conflict, my great grandfather was taken to work in Germany while my great grandmother was in Holland witnessing soldiers creating conflict. After the

If everyone was seen as Equal my family would not have faced world war two. Equality is also an important value because if you are mediating two parties such as a higher up boss and a worker it is important not to treat the worker unfair because the boss is paying you. My second value is being hardworking is a value that my grandparents valued and was what allowed them to come to Canada. Hard work is essential to solving a conflict, you have to be hardworking and dedicated because it can involve many steps to find a solution. My third value is love, love is almost the exact opposite of conflict. Love has shaped my view of conflict in believing there should not be any conflict, instead we should use conflict resolution techniques to solve the conflict and make the best of the situation. Love is essential in conflict resolution as well as someone in the conflict resolution field you should love your job and show that through your job. By putting that passion into your job you will show the parties you care about the situation. My fourth value is respecting others. When having a different opinion, culture, language, traditions, political standing and so on it is important to respect others. In Canada our laws say that we have the right to express our cultures and right to practice our religion. There is no good reason why there should be conflicts over this when it deliberately states in our laws that people are allowed to do this. There will be many times in con red where you do not agree with someone but you should still respect them and try to understand where they are coming
Values are “ideas held by individuals or groups about what is desirable, proper, good, and bad. What individuals value is strongly influenced by the specific culture in which they happen to live.” Values are important to many individuals because in a way, it defines who they are as a person. Dependant on the culture an individual lives in, it is important
Values are beliefs that make us who we are as a person and they are categorized as strengths and weaknesses. Our values in life start from childhood to adolescent years. They become a building block to how you wish to flourish in life. As a senior advancing into today's society, my values in life is to contribute to the welfare of others, work where physical and mental health are important, and have opportunities for advancement.
Engagement in peaceful and violent interactions, as well as the conflicts consequent from the, has changed greatly in the modern world. With the vast advancement in technology, our ability to communicate over long distances with various media devices has improved the ability to conduct peaceful conversations. This in itself decreases the chances of violence as all party members involved in a conflict of some sort are able to access and correspond with one another, if they so choose, without jumping the gun and heading straight into a violent solution. However, weapon technology develops simultaneously with modern technology, resulting in extreme weapons of mass destruction such as nuclear weapons and the fact that these weapons are so easily accessible enables violent interactions. Both the “Conflict Resolution” and “Nonviolence” paradigms have not been able to keep up with the development of modern technology and are therefore not applicable in some instances. While the “Conflict Resolution” paradigm maintains its applicability for most situations, the “Nonviolence” paradigm becomes obsolete in regards to the nuclear weapons that play such a large role in modern day conflicts. Nevertheless, both paradigms are useful tools in international peacemaking – methods such as negotiation from the “Conflict Resolution” paradigm are independent from the type of conflict involved. Similarly, the “Nonviolence” paradigm has methods e.g. the creation of peace movements, which are applicable to all conflicts regardless of their nature. This shows that while they might be limited in some aspects, the “Conflict Resolution” and “Nonviolence” paradigms are still useful in conflicts nowadays and contribute tools to international peacemaking even tho...

During everyone 's lifetime, there is always something we hold closest to our hearts; it maybe our principles we live by, values, and even our own beliefs. Values are those things that are very important to us but never really realize how much we actually value them in our life.

The perception of transformation is the change from one state to another. Conflict transformation in more specific terms is the transition through various stages. Primarily, conflict transformation takes place through the underlying stage to confrontation to negotiation to vibrant, peaceful relationships. The purpose of this essay is to choose a historical or contemporary situation in which conflict transformation has taken place in the past and/or continues to occur. In my assignment I will research the origins, causes and current status of the conflict. I will identify what has been done and/or is being done to address the conflict in a transformative manner today. I will assess this particular situation with reference to two of the structure or process models covered in this course. I will develop a plan for further action, based on structural and process models discussed in this course. Finally I will integrate Lederach’s time frame and see if I can bond it with this particular case.
Values can be defined as “a belief about what ought to be, what ought not to be, what is right, or what is wrong” (Chelladurai, 2006). I believe that values ground people and provide the framework for all decisions they make. I have four core values that I use to carry me through life every day and they are faith, family, honesty and passion. Faith is my number one value because I choose to walk by faith every day. To me that means staying strong in my relationship with God and making sure that all decisions I make are pleasing in his eyes. My second value is family. This is not limited to just my immediate or blood-related family. In every decision I make, I ask myself before or after whether it will or whether it did have a negative or positive impact on my family. With my immediate family I ask myself, “Would I be okay with telling Mom this?” I considered my volleyball teammates as family, so every decision I made in college I would consider the impact that it could have on my team as a whole. My third value is honesty. I always want to be honest with myself, honest with those around me and I expect the same from others. I believe that with honesty it is easier to build trust, loyalty and respect all around. The final core value in my life is passion. Without passion for the things one does, they will be just that “things.” I wa...
