Chapter 1
The Nature of Conflict
What Is Conflict Anyway?
1. Ask students to write a paragraph on their perception of conflict. Then, have them get into
pairs and exchange their paragraphs. If most of the students’ perceptions of conflict are
“too nice,” ask them to think of someone they know who engages in conflict and request
them to write about that person’s perception of conflict. (You can have students pair up
more than once if time permits.)
2. Give a mini-lecture on the definition and the various elements of conflict.
3. Distribute the worksheet titled “Elements of Conflict” to each student in the class. Ask the
students to fill out the worksheet with their own conflicts and their partner’s conflicts.

4. After each pair of students has completed the worksheet, bring the class back together for a
discussion. Have the students reflect on what they discovered about their perception of
conflict.
5. Discuss the two types of spirals: escalatory spirals and avoidance spirals. Ask students to
contrast between the two. Which type of spiral is the worst? Why? What can people do to
stop themselves from ascending these spirals?
6. Have the students pair up with their partners, and ask each pair of students to help each
other recognize the spirals occurring in the conflicts they analyzed in their worksheets.
7. Finish the chapter with a discussion on the dangers and opportunities arising from conflict.
