Week 16 - Post 1

I think that a lot of people have such negative views of conflict because of past negative experiences with conflicts.  I think that a lot of people think that the word conflict is a negative word.  Conflict can be positive depending on how you approach it and how the conflict is resolved.  I think that yes, as people know more about conflict they fear it less.  I feel this way from experience.  As I have learned more about conflict and now have a better understanding of how to deal with conflict, I do not fear conflict.  I feel that other people can feel this way as well.  I think that the more educated a person is about conflict there is less unknown territory for them to explore.  In order for people to have a better understanding of any topic, they need to be educated.  The more education the less fear that is involved.
