They include refusing, negotiating, and collaborating. The first one is refusing offers when there is unwanted pressure to do something you know you shouldn't. There are two different types of pressure. The two types of pressure spoken and unspoken pressure. I think that the unspoken pressure has more effect on people than spoken pressure does. Unspoken pressure is when you feel pressure from watching other people and how they act or dress. There are many ways to refuse these types of pressures. Many people need to step back and think about their situation, "Take a reality check, remember that it is risky, walk away from the situation, and find something else to do with other friends" (How to Refuse, Negotiate, and Collaborate, 7). When people are able to refuse pressure and make that decision to walk away, the can be saved from a lifelong bad habit. The next one is negotiating with the people who are involved in the situation. Negotiation is when two sides of one situation will come together and make a decision that both sides can agree with. Negotiation can help prevent both sides from becoming dissatisfied, "The point of negotiation is to try to reach agreements without causing future barriers to communication" (How to Refuse, Negotiate, and Collaborate, 7). Negotiation is a good way to communicate with each other about the problem, and it is a good way to get the points of view from each side. The final way is negotiation of a situation. This is when the people come together and talk about their situation, they will each present some possible solutions to a problem. After they negotiate they will come to a compromise, "Compromises are often positive alternatives which can often achieve greater benefit for all concerned compared to holding to the original positions" (How to Refuse, Negotiate, and Collaborate, 8). These compromises can be a win-win solutions for each side of the situation. The negotiation between the two sides can help prevent more conflict in the future. These skills will help solve problems in a situation in a healthy way instead of trying to solve a conflict with conflict.]]> 2017-03-12 16:20:20 UTC https://padlet.com/stephanie_caple/drd99rz8svhs/wish/159505553 stephanie_caple https://padlet.com/stephanie_caple/drd99rz8svhs/wish/159508419 My sisters and I are all the same size and it is hard to keep our clothes separate from each other. There was always a problem with figuring out whose clothes belong to who. We would always fight and we couldn't find a solution. We then decided one day to all come together and develop a way to separate and identify everyone's clothes. We labeled each piece with dots that corresponded to order in which we were born. One dot was my older sister, two dots were me, and three dots were my younger sister. Although we had our clothes labeled, we still had problems with sisters wearing our clothes. We sat down again and revisited our problem with other people wearing our clothes. We decided that when some one wears clothes that don't belong to them, they have to give the person, whose clothes they are wearing, a dollar. We all agreed and this compromise has been working well. We hope that this will avoid a ton of conflict in the future. This was a long processes and it was challenging to try to find a compromise that worked for three different sides of the situation. We each had different opinions and views on the situation and we all had a different solution. We had to get extra help from an outside person. Our mom helped us listen to each others sides and she helped compromise a win-win solution for all three of us.]]> 2017-03-12 16:56:22 UTC https://padlet.com/stephanie_caple/drd99rz8svhs/wish/159508419
