Think back to a time when you had a fight with a friend, family member, classmate, or coworker and it didn't end well. What was the fight about? Sometimes it is hard to remember exactly what the argument was about; rather we remember feeling that we were treated unjustly during the argument or that we weren't being listened to. But guess what? During fights, the other person most likely feels the same way, too. So once you've thought back to a fight you've had, you are going to write about how this fight could have been different.

Consider tips you've learned about handling conflict—such as acknowledging aloud the other person's concerns or not blaming the other person. If you had to relive that situation all over again, how would you fix the fight or keep it from turning into one?

Think about the following questions and then write several paragraphs in response:

When did the fight occur, and what was it about?
Who was at fault—you, the other person, or both of you?
Why do you think it ended poorly?
In general, what would you have done differently?
What could you have said differently that would have let the other person know you were listening?
If you could take back something you said during the fight, what would it be?
What do you wish you would have said during that fight?
Did the fight result in your not being friends or not getting along with that person anymore?
Would you want repair your relationship with this person again? If so, what are some possible ways to fix the damage?

can anyone give me some ideas and examples

Alright think of a fight you’ve had with someone.

swinn · Answer

@Isry I've never really had a fight with anyone

Isry · Answer

Okay what about an argument?

swinn · Answer

@Isry  I try not to argue with people

Isry · Answer

Can you think of a single example when you did though?

swinn · Answer

not really

Isry · Answer

Okay then we’re gonna make something up. Say the argument was about someone eating a sandwich from your favorite restaurant. You put it in the refrigerator and marked your name on it and they ate it anyway. You saw the person eating your sandwich so an argument erupted out of you feeling like your property wasn’t being respected.
