How Conflicts Escalate: Overreacting to Perceived Slights

Our Policies, Biases, And Conflicts

Conflicts Abound In The Vaccine Debate - Is Your Child Safe From The Scound
2008-05-12 06:26:00 In response to a court case regarding Michelle Cedillo (one of thousands of families attempting to establish the connection between vaccines and their child's autism), Dr. Paul Offit, chief of infectious diseases at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania claims the apparent connection between vaccines and autism is "nothing more than a sad coincidence". Imagine being the parent (and there are many!) who watched their child's fast retreat into silence and disability following a round of vaccinations upon hearing this incomprehensible dismissal!Should all parents of children, believed to be vaccine damaged, accept that this remarkable timing is a mere coincidence? Should they stop sifting through the thousands of pages of research by reputable doctors and scientists exploring the topic of vaccines and its potential connection to autism and other diseases simply because Dr. Offit declared this epidemic to be nothing more than a SAD COINCIDENCE?So who is Dr. Offit?

How to Manage Conflicts?
2008-03-28 01:56:00 No matter what our communication style or family background, there are some damaging patterns of speech that must be avoided to manage conflicts effectively. For example, if we have the urge to retaliate. Retaliation only leads to anger and an escalation of the disagreement. Instead of retaliating, know that the quickest way to take the heat out of a quarrel is to acknowledge your mate's viewpoint and to apologize for your part of the conflict.Do you minimize or belittle your spouse's feelings? Granted that not everyone sees the same situation in the same way, but if your spouse is clearly distraught about a matter, your first reaction may be to say, "You're just overreacting." You may have the intention to help your mate to see the problem from a different angle but more often than not this comment makes your spouse feel more angry than comforted. Both wives and husbands need to know that the people whom they love understand and empathize with them.Give extra thought to how you ...

Managing Conflicts
2008-03-27 07:27:00 To err is humane. So if a couple argue, does this mean that they no longer love each other? The answer is no. Even in the best of marriages, there will occasionally be some conflict. Although most married couples want to treat each other in a loving and kind manner, we are imperfect and will make mistakes. So when disagreements arise, emotions may be difficult to control. Once an argument starts, some may find it a real challenge to curb bad habits such as screaming and abusive speech.Sometimes factors such as different communication styles between the male and female can be the cause of such contention where one wants to discuss a problem in detail but the other are just interested in the end result. Another factor could be the family background in which one was raised up in. Some families are quiet and finds confrontation difficult and uncomfortable whereas there are folks that are very expressive and they have no problems letting others know how they feel.Interestingly researcher...

'Awakening' Forces Arouse New Conflicts
2007-12-27 19:30:00 by Ali al-Fadhily and Dahr Jamail FALLUJAH, Dec 26 (IPS) - The controversial move of the U.S. military to back Sunni "Awakening" forces has created another wedge between Sunni and Shia political groups. Following disputes between the tribal groups assembled into Awakening forces and the Iraqi government, the creation of these forces has become also a political issue. U.S.-backed Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, who heads a Shia political bloc, has adamantly opposed the U.S.-military policy of backing tribal groups and former resistance fighters. To date, the U.S. military has paid more than 17 million dollars to these fighters, whose groups it calls "Concerned Local Citizens" and "Awakening Forces." Each member receives around 300 dollars monthly. Many are former resistance fighters who used to attack occupation forces. These new forces now have a strength of more than 76,000. According to the U.S. military, at least 82 percent are Sunni. It h...

Conflicts of interest in the open access debate
2007-10-29 16:55:00 I can accept that some society publishers are concerned that open access may make it harder for them to fund their activities. I can accept that some people are confused about the implications of open access.What I find very difficult to accept is that executives at the American Chemical Society appear to be raising spurious arguments against open access, such as calling it 'Socialized Science', and that they have clear, undeclared conflicts of interest in this debate, namely that they are paid bonuses depending on the profits of the publishing division of the ACS.Just as we now expect medics to declare their competing interests in journal publications, anyone involved in the open access debate should declare their own competing interests. My own financial competing interest is a fixed salary received from BioMed Central. Let's see some more transparency from all concerned.

2007-10-16 14:00:00 Alex Chou's Log for: 1/8/2352 23:16We just arrived at the Crimean System. This is where the rendezvous is supposed to occur. So far our luck has held and no Vinak have followed us this far into the string of dead systems. We're still half a day from the planet, or rather, moon, where we are supposed to meet. Thankfully, It looks like we're going to be about a day early. The crew could probably use an entire day of stressless waiting. I'm sure once we have a new commander and some new crew he'll be putting us to round-the-clock work. New COs love testing their crew. It's a tactic to build comradery amongst the crew. Force them to achieve something they thought wasn't possible.

Conflicts, Conflicts, Conflicts
2007-07-19 19:02:00 You may know that when a multitude of conflicts is present in a story that it makes the story interesting, dramatic, and controversial, thus making the story enjoying to read. However when applied to the real world, a lot of conflicts present in one's life does not make the life too enjoying but rather makes living that life troublesome. Everyday, however, new conflicts are introduced. A new block is added to the 'conflict tower' multiple times throughout the day. They may range from your best friend's dog getting ran over by a SUV to several US troops getting shot down in the Iraqi war. They may not directly apply to you, but will affect you sooner or later down the road. And the worst thing to do is to cause conflicts yourself, but it is almost inevitable to do so.

Israel succeeding in fueling intra-Arab conflicts to its own benefit
2007-06-27 12:30:00 A commentary in Oman's Al Watan said the bomb attack against UN peacekeepers in South Lebanon that killed six Spanish troops could only be linked to the region's crises, especially those of the Palestinians and the Lebanese, themselves. The attack, it said, was a "bloody message to whomever ... concerned" that there were those using the tension and charged "atmosphere" to accelerate violence and chaos. The pro-government daily added that what was happening in the Arab and Muslim world were militant responses to conflicts originally aimed against Israel. But Israel's insight, with US and Western support, allowed it to successfully turn such conflicts inward, it argued, shifting the threats away from itself. "The [plan to identify] an internal enemy in every Arab society has succeeded," it said, "and scenarios were [played out] to inflame these enemies against each other, to ease the threat against Israel." It complained that Arabs had fallen into a trap, insisting that I...
