1. Provide an example of the 18th camel principle in your own conflict that you have chosen for analysis in this course or from a conflict in the world or local community. How might we learn to use this principle?
My example is that of a couple that has been having several problems in their marriage because of lack of a child. The wife says the problem is the man and the man says its wife. On top of that, they both don’t want to go to a hospital and they end up going to a marriage counselor who sets the common ground and convinces them to both go to the hospital where the one with the problem is treated and they start bearing kids. People can learn how to use this principle in the society by always having the will to solve conflicts and trying to seek ways of solving arguments. It involves just seeking a common ground or person who will not support them but rather listen to their cases from a neutral ground. 2. What are some reasons that taking a walk works in conflict mediation? What are some other ways that this same principle manifests itself?
Delegate your assignment to our experts and they will do the rest.
According to Whittle, Lee and Walsh (2015), walking out of a conflict works just like Abraham did. The reason for taking a walk in conflict mediation helps remind the two parties in conflict whatever is at stake. It enables one to go away and relax and think what has happened and how to solve the same. It follows the same case of Abraham who stood for the unity of his family in the religious grounds. The latter can also manifest itself in times when a couple is fighting and one of them decides to leave the house, goes to a local coffee shop and chats with some of his friends. From there he will go home fresh and free from anger. 3. According to Ury, what is the secret to peace? The secret to peace is us or the oldest human heritage (Ury, 2019). 4. What is the equivalent of "hiding the poison arrows" in Ury's story? Someone puts away things that could make the whole conflict resolution process more cumbersome. Or if people are fighting it is important to remove all entities that can make them fight more or hurt each other. 5. Define what Ury refers to as the 3rd side.
The third side is used to refer to the ideas that “every society has its own form of it” 6. Explain what Ury means when he states that we should "go to the balcony."
This means going away from a conflict to get some fresh air and find some new perspectives. 7. Provide and discuss an example of how you might take the 3rd side in your own organization or family.
If a couple is in conflict there is a need for the third side. If they have children, they will be hurt and suffer if the couple continues arguing. Other children will be mentally disturbed. Therefore they should be reminded and asked to talk and find new perspectives of solving the conflict.
