Name
ID

Use Times New Roman (or similar), 12 pt, double line space, no paragraph space, indentation,
1-inch margins. Provide your answers on the next page
Make sure you use your own words (no copy and paste from any source), but refer to the
content in the PowerPoint regarding the three theories of conflict and relate these to your
personal case.

This assignment requires that you write an essay of about 25 lines, divided into 3 sections:

SECTION 1
Think of a conflict you were involved in; describe it in writing (a long paragraph of about 10
lines). This is pretty much an open-ended, free-style description. Describe a real conflict in your
life, not a made-up story.

SECTION 2
Review the three SOCIOLOGICAL SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT ON CONFLICT discussed in class
(in the PowerPoint)
then, write a paragraph (of about 10 lines) explaining which of these best reflects or describes
your approach to the conflict you just described
in addition, you can relate the three schools of thought in relation to your conflict and talk about
how you could/should have reacted if you had been aware of these different approaches to
conflict

SECTION 3
then write a final reflection (of about 5 lines) putting it all together, adding whatever thoughts you
may have
