To understand how conflict interaction unfolds, it is necessary to explore how climates are created and changed and the effect this has on the direction of conflicts. The climate of the journalism seminar shifted in mid stream, with profound effects on the interaction. With the student's question and the first response it received, the previously established climate in the group changed. The expectation that questions would be asked to seek information or a desired opinion from the speaker was overturned by the student's entry into the exchange. The student sought a defense of the paper's policy and assumed that the speaker would take a stand supporting the paper. The rest of the group may have resented the attempt to change the tone of the interaction, yet in some ways they facilitated the change by disrupting the seminar's format themselves. The shift in climate resulted in new ways of interacting for everyone in attendance. Do you agree with the above and why?
