Assignment you are given the opportunity of exploring an existing conflict situation and linking theory to practice through the study of the specific conflict.
Conflict is a negotiation that we experience every day. Your research material may be drawn from various sources, such as: media coverage (local, national, or global), personal investigation and research, historical records (books, journals, films/video, newspaper articles), and internet sources.
The conflict could involve resources, health, politics, environment, religion, ethnic groups, and/or differing world views. It must, however, be well-known, meaning its existence should be common (public) knowledge. If you are unsure about a conflict, please contact your instructor for approval.
Your academic tools for conflict analysis should include the concepts or theories discussed in class or found in course readings and/or other literature.
Your 1000 word minimum paper should consists of at least the following:
? A description of the conflict: what is it about, who is involved, when and where, why is there a conflict? What is the context of the conflict? ? Describe the fundamental mistakes that resulted in impasses. ? Describe the elements and processes used or could be used to resolve these impasses. ? Identify the various hardball distributive tactics and responses to those tactics in an effort to resolve the conflict. ? Consider whether a third-party approach would benefit the situation.
Your assignment must:
? Be a minimum of 1000 words. ? Be typed, double-spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA format. ? Include a cover page containing the tile of the assignment (Unit VI-Essay), the student's name, the professor's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
