Resolving Conflict With Communication
[WLOs: 2, 3] [CLOs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Prior to beginning work on this assignment, you should have read all of Jandt (2021) and then selected four additional sources from the Recommended Resources Download Recommended Resourcesdocument or found scholarly sources in the UAGC Library.
This course has focused on exploring types of conflicts and how they can be resolved by using effective communication techniques. In this final paper, you will apply what you have learned in this class to analyzing a conflict and evaluating the techniques that were used and what could have been used for a better outcome.
In your paper, you will
Explain what conflict is.
Choose a conflict from your personal life, or one you have witnessed, and explain the most important details and how it meets the criteria for what counts as conflict as outlined by one or more scholars.
Categorize the selected example of conflict as family, workplace, or something else, and explain the dynamics of this type of conflict, using a scholarly source. THIS IS NEW AND WAS NOT REQUIRED ON THE WEEK 3 OUTLINE.
Explain five themes from the list below you are using to analyze the conflict and your rationale for the selection. TWO THEMES WILL BE ADDED TO YOUR INITIAL WEEK 3 OUTLINE. Listening and conflict management – Chapters 1, 3, 5 and 7.
Power and conflict – Chapters 2 through 4.
Conflict management styles – Chapters 1, 3, and 9.
Culture and conflict – Chapters 2 through 4.
Negotiation skills and resolving conflicts with others – Chapter 9.
Ethics and conflict – Chapter 5. Please note that Jandt does not cover this topic as thoroughly as others, so if you use this theme, please do some additional research.

Anger and conflict – Chapter 6.
Mediation – Chapters 4 and 7.
Apologies, forgiveness, and reconciliation – Chapter 8.
Apply five conflict topics/themes to the example. This means you will analyze your conflict through each of the five themes above, including a consideration of race or ethnicity, class, gender, and sexuality, as applicable to your case, using the textbook and scholarly resources. You will be “applying” these themes directly to your conflict. Therefore, for each theme, you should show how it is relevant to your case, how it intersects with communication, and how its understanding can aid in effective resolution of conflict.
Describe the role communication played in the conflict. THIS SECTION IS ALSO NEW AND WAS NOT REQUIRED IN THE WEEK 3 OUTLINE.
Explain two communication techniques that could have been used toward a better outcome, identifying a clear benefit to using the techniques.. Please be specific and devote a whole section to this, outlining specific communication processes that could have been used from Jandt and others. THIS SECTION IS ALSO NEW AND WAS NOT REQUIRED IN THE WEEK 3 OUTLINE.

Include a table based on the APA style manual 7th edition if relevant. *Note: SPSS usually does not generate tables in APA format so reformating of your results in Microsoft Word will likely be necessary.
3. Include a copy of the SPSS output as an appendix after writing your results section.Your assignment must be formatted using APA Style (7th ed)–student research paper template.

Goal
Use the modules and review resources to complete the chart on this handout comparing skull features of the chimp, human, Australopithecus africanus, Homo habilis, Homo erectus, Homo neanderthalensis, and Homo sapiens. Refer to the module pages for images of skulls of the species.
Instructions
Refer to the module page Skull Images for the Assignments (Genus Homo) for images and 3-D rotations of the skulls you need to describe and compare. You will also find Comparing and Measuring the Skull (Genus Homo) useful.
Open the worksheet An111 Comparing Genus Homo Skulls.docx Download An111 Comparing Genus Homo Skulls.docx and fill out the table to compare features across the species. The rows will ask for one of the following types of answers.
Simple descriptions and comparisons are fine for our purposes, Review:
Present or absent: When a feature is either there or not, you can use a + for present and – for absent.
For example, “presence of sagittal crest” can be answered + or –.
Describe: When you are asked to describe a feature, do so with a few words or short phrase.
For example, “shape of dental arcade” can be answered “U-shaped.”
Compare: When you are asked to compare, you need to ask “compare to what?”
For Example: If there are three skulls being compared, you might say X and Y are smaller than Z. Or X is smaller than Y and Y is larger than Z.
Measure: Use the measurements you collected
Use these measurements gathered from teaching materials at LAVC to calculate the condylar index and the facial index. All measurements are in millimeters

Week 13 – Skull Images for the Assignments (Genus Homo)
Skull Images and 3-D Rotations to compare Skulls
In the Genus Homo Skull Measuring Assignment and the Comparing genus Homo Skulls Assignment this week, you will want to look at the species from a variety of viewpoints. Please use the following tools to make your descriptive comparisons. Anything that needs to be measured will be a static picture with a yellow ruler in the assignment, or I will tell you the actual measurements for you to calculate indexes and compare across species.
