Personal Conflict Project: Part 2 – Reconciliation Plan Assignment Instructions
Overview
Throughout this course you will be introduced to different theories, strategies, and skills necessary for conflict resolution. This theoretical underpinning is necessary before you can practically apply any of the concepts you learn in this course. This project will allow you to start to identify a current personal conflict and attempt conflict resolution strategies and reconciliation based on the theories, strategies and skills you encounter. This project has three parts: Part 1 – Identifying the Dispute, Part 2 – Reconciliation Plan, and Part 3 – Reflection.
Instructions
In order to continue this project, you must clearly articulate your plan for reconciliation. Due to the sensitive nature of this assignment, full confidentiality will be maintained.
Copy and paste the following questions into a Word document and provide at least a one paragraph response to each question:
1. Describe the material issues in this conflict.
2. Describe the personal issues or offenses in this conflict.
3. Write down everything you can think of that is noble, right, or admirable about the other person in this dispute, including good memories or ways God has blessed you through that person.
4. What rights, legally or morally, do you have in this situation?
5. Which of the personal issues or offenses described can you simply overlook? Which of the material issues described can you simply give in on?
6. Which listening skills do you have a hard time with: waiting, attending, clarifying, reflecting, or agreeing? Write down some things you will do or say to overcome these weaknesses.
7. How can you show that you are trying to believe the best about the other person (i.e., making charitable judgments)?
8. Which worldly weapons have you been using, or are you tempted to use, in this situation?
9. Have you been using your tongue to bless your opponents or to speak critically of them? How could you breathe grace to them in the days ahead?
10. To whom can you turn for godly advice and encouragement?
11. What can you keep on doing in this situation that is right?
12. Would it be wiser to communicate in person, on the phone, or by means of a letter? Why?
13.
Clearly articulate your plan for resolving this dispute over the next two weeks.
This assignment should be between 3 – 5 pages in length and each paragraph should be a minimum of five sentences. No title page, abstract, or reference section is necessary unless you use citations. If you use any citations, you must properly cite according to current APA standards and include a reference section.
Prior to completing Part 3 – Reflection, you must schedule and attend a meeting with the purpose of reconciling this dispute. You must utilize at least two strategies during this reconciliation and provide a thorough explanation of the steps you took to resolve the conflict based on what you have learned and researched in this course.
Please note that while attempting to resolve the conflict, your plans may adjust as the situation warrants. Your final grade is not contingent upon successful reconciliation, but the process you go through during this project.

Part1: Identifying the Dispute
Michael Whitener
1. Briefly summarize your dispute as you perceive it, placing events in chronological order. Include what you have done to resolve the dispute.
I have a dispute with my closest friend Erick. We got entangled in a confrontation last year on the eve of 25th December. I had been chatting with Erick’s girlfriend before that day though he had never discovered. Despite our frequent conversations, I had no bad intentions, and I saw no wrong in maintaining our conversation. Erick went through her girlfriend’s chats and found our conversation on that fateful day. Though his girlfriend had saved me with a different name, Erick discovered me because of my posted picture.
That was the beginning of our dispute. Erick called me and threatened to deal with me mercilessly for having an affair with her girlfriend. I disowned the accusations, but he still insisted that we were dating. From that moment, I avoided chatting and blocked her girlfriend to avoid more contention. I also tried to reach out personally to Erick to explain my case, but he refused until he recently accepted, and we met. I accepted that chatting with her girlfriend without his knowledge was a mistake, and I would not repeat it. However, Erick is still unwilling to forgive me and end the feud, claiming that he needs more time.
2. Have you been striving earnestly to resolve this dispute or giving only partial efforts to reconcile?
Given my closeness with Erick, I have strived to solve our dispute. I have severally tried to prove that I am sorry by sharing not all the conversations I had with his girlfriend, but that has been fruitful (Walter, 2018). During our meeting, I acknowledged that it was wrong talking to his girlfriend without his knowledge and that, since then, I had blocked her and cut our communication. In most of my conversations with Erick, I remain absolutely humble to him as I seek to solve the dispute. I believe my innocence will be proven though it will take more effort.
3. What questions, doubts, or fears do you have because of this dispute?
One of my fears due to the current dispute between Erick and me is that Erick may damage my reputation by sharing the incident with my friends. The act would cause some people to isolate me even without allowing me to explain myself. I am doubtful whether I will solve the conflict soon. Every time I talk to Erick, he seems so disappointed with me and strongly believes that I had a love affair with his girlfriend. I am also unsure whether his girlfriend is trying to reconcile with him. The question I have is whether I should involve a mediator in solving my conflicts or leave everything to fate.
4. Have you been looking at this dispute as something that happened by chance, as something done to you by someone else, or as something that God allowed in your life for a specific purpose
I look at the dispute as something that God allowed for a purpose. It was not the first time I was talking to my friends’ girlfriend without their knowledge, but it was the first time to be caught up. I think God wants me to avoid interacting with people who can create problems in my life. Also, God allowed it to happen so that I would learn about true and false friends. My pleadings of innocence and my behavior would prompt Erick to forgive me as his friend. However, his unwillingness to let it go has shown that we never trusted each other, and currently, I am just seeking to solve the dispute and not renew our friendship.
5. Using what you currently know about conflict resolution, which response to the conflict have you been using to resolve the dispute?
Based on my understanding of conflict resolution, I think I have been accepting my mistakes that resulted into the dispute. Acceptance is a conflict resolution approach where one or all conflicting parties agree to causing the conflict (Bogue, 2021). It is a method used to prevent de-escalation of the dispute between the disagreeing parties. By embracing acceptance, I managed to prevent more confrontation with Erick despite our existing conflict (Bogue, 2021). I am ready to take the blame as long as I can until we find a solution.
