Conflict arises from perceived incompatibilities between parties and can be exacerbated by social dilemmas, competition, injustice and misperception. Key causes of conflict include pursuing self-interest at the expense of others in social dilemmas, win-lose competition fostering negative views of opponents, perceived inequity in outcomes, and biases that lead parties to see themselves positively and opponents negatively. Peace can be achieved through contact between parties, cooperation on shared goals, open communication to find mutually agreeable solutions, and conciliation where one party makes unilateral concessions to build trust.

Attributions are inferences that people make about the causes of events and behavior. People make attributions in order to understand their experiences. Attributions strongly influence the way people interact with others.
Conformity involves changing your behaviors in order to "fit in" or "go along" with the people around you. In some cases, this social influence might involve agreeing with or acting like the majority of people in a specific group, or it might involve behaving in a particular way in order to be perceived as "normal" by the group.
According to psychologist Gordon Allport, social psychology is a discipline that uses scientific methods "to understand and explain how the thought, feeling and behavior of individuals are influenced by the actual, imagined or implied presence of other human beings" (1985).
Briefly this field has been discussed.

What are some essential differences between constructive and destructive conflict?
Please make sure the summary is at least 300 words as well as use the reading material I posted below
Adolph and his brother, Rudolph, lived in a small German town and had heard that the American sprinter Jesse Owens was coming to Germany to compete in the 1936 Berlin Olympics. The two brothers had a small cobbler shop and thought they would try making sports shoes for the famed runner. They approached Owens and asked if he would wear their shoes during the Olympic competition. Owens quickly accepted the offer of free shoes and then won four gold medals. The two brothers parlayed that good fortune into making their small cobbler shop into a major producer of running shoes. There was just one problem: The two brothers didn’t get along. In fact, they fought a lot. Eventually, because of the constant conflict, they decided to go their separate ways. Adolph, whose nickname was “Adi,” took half of the shoemaking machines and started his own company on one side of the river in their town. You know it today as Adidas. Rudolph stayed on the other side of the river and called his new shoe company Puma. Their family conflict had thus created two giant running-shoe corporations.1 Conflict is a fact of life. Throughout history, people have been involved in conflicts ranging from family feuds that spawned rival shoe companies to nations that waged war against each other. Communication researchers and social psychologists conclude that when people interact with one another, they inevitably disagree.2 This chapter gives you some ideas about the causes of conflict in groups and teams and presents some strategies for managing it. We’re not going to tell you how to eliminate group conflict but rather how to understand it and its importance in your group deliberations. Despite the prevalence of conflict in group and team deliberations, communication researchers Steven Farmer and Jonelle Rothe note that much of what we know about group conflict has been generalized from research that has investigated interpersonal conflict.3 The prime objective of this chapter is to help you understand how conflict in groups and teams can be both useful and detrimental to collaborative decision making. What Is Conflict? Conflict happens when there is disagreement. Communication experts William Wilmot and Joyce Hocker define conflict as: (1) an expressed struggle (2) between at least two interdependent people (3) who perceive incompatible goals, scarce resources, and interference from others (4) to achieve specific goals.4 Expressed struggle: A conflict becomes a concern to a group when the disagreement is expressed verbally or, more often, nonverbally. Early signs of conflict include furrowed brows, grimacing facial expressions, and flashes of frustration evident in the voice. If the conflict persists, words are usually exchanged and unmanaged tempers may flare. Between at least two interde.
In this presentation options for resolving conflict are presented from a psychological, social, scriptural and judicial perspective. A pattern suitable for systemic change is offered.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
2. What is Conflict?
• A perceived incompatibility of actions or goals.
• A strong disagreement between people, groups,
etc., that results in an angry argument.
• Conflict occurs when one party decides that the
way things are is not okay and seeks change, but
that change is not agreed to by the other party.
4. There is a perceived breach of faith and trust
between individuals.
There is unresolved disagreement that has
escalated to an emotional level.
There is miscommunication leading to unclear
expectations.
There are personality clashes.
There are differences in acquired values.
There is underlying stress and tension.
There are ego problems.
5. 1. Social Dilemmas
• Is a situation in which an individual profits from
selfishness unless everyone chooses the selfish
alternative, in which case the whole group
looses.
Example:
1.The prisoner’s dilemma
2.The tragedy of the commons
6. Social Trap
- A situation in which the conflicting parties,
by each rationally pursuing its self-interest,
become caught in mutually destructive
behavior.
7. Non – Zero – Sum Games
- Games in which outcomes need not to sum to
zero. (With cooperation, both can win; with
competition, both can loose) – Also called Mixed –
Motive Situations.
9. To summarize, we can minimize destructive
entrapment in social dilemmas by
establishing rules that regulate self-serving
behavior, by keeping groups small, by
allowing people to communicate, by
changing payoffs to make cooperation more
rewarding, and by invoking compelling
altruistic norms.
10. 2. Competition
• In Muzafer Sherif’s (1966) experiment, win-lose
competition had produced intense conflict,
negative images of the out-group, and strong in-
group cohesiveness and pride.
11. 3. Perceived Injustice
• “That’s unfair!” “What a rip-off!” “We deserve better!”
• Such comments illustrate conflicts produced by perceived
injustice.
But What is Justice?
• People perceived justice as equity – the distribution of
rewards in proportion on individuals’ contribution (Walster
& others, 1978).
My outcomes = Your outcomes
My inputs Your inputs
12. • Implication of Equity Theory – is that the more
competent and worthy people feel (the more they value
their inputs), the more they will feel under benefited and
thus eager to get even (Ross & others, 1971).
• Intense social protests generally come from those who,
perhaps after being educated, believe themselves
worthy of more than they are receiving.
“From each according to his abilities, to each
according to his needs” – Karl Marx
14. Seeds of Misperception
Self-serving Bias
Lead individuals
and groups to
accept credit for
their good
deeds and
shuck
responsibility
for bad deeds.
Self-justify
Inclines
people to
deny the
wrong of their
evil acts that
cannot be
shucked off.
Fundamental
Attribution Error
Each side
sees the
other’s anger
as reflecting
an evil
personality.
15. Preconceptions
One then filters
the information
and interprets it
to fit one’s
preconceptions.
Polarize
Groups
polarize these
self-serving,
self-justifying,
biasing
tendencies.
Groupthink
One symptom
of groupthink is
the tendency to
perceive one’s
own group as
moral and
strong, the
opposition as
evil and weak.
16. In-group Bias
The mere fact
of being in a
group triggers
an in-group
bias.
Stereotype
Negative
stereotypes,
once formed,
are often
resistant to
contradictory
evidence.
17. Misperception
Mirror-Image Perception
• Refers to the reciprocal
views of one another
often held by parties in
conflict.
Shifting Perceptions
• If misperceptions
accompany conflict, then
they should appear and
disappear as conflicts
wax and wane.
• The same process that
creates the enemy’s
image can reverse that
image when the enemy
becomes an ally.
18. How can peace be achieved?
1. Contact
2. Cooperation
3. Communication
4. Conciliation
19. 1. Contact
• Desegregation
- The process of ending the separation of two groups
usually referring to races.
Example: (Cairns & Hestone, 2002) experiment on
mixing the White and Black in a small conference they
had.
20. • We will be most likely to befriend people who differ
from us if their out-group identify is initially minimized –
if we see them as essentially like us rather than feeling
threatened by their being different.
• Friendship is a key to successful contact.
21. 2. Cooperation
Common
External Threat
Having a
common
enemy unifies
groups.
Superordinate
Goals
Goals that
unite all in a
group and
require
cooperative
effort.
Cooperative
Learning
Where in a
given situation
everyone in a
group learned
something
new and
beneficial to
them.
22. 3. Communication
1. Bargaining – seeking an agreement through direct negotiations
between parties.
2. Mediation – an attempt by a neutral third party to resolve a conflict
by facilitating communications and offering suggestions.
• Integrative Agreements – win-win agreements that reconcile both
parties’ interests to their mutual benefit.
3. Arbitration – resolution of a conflict by a neutral third party who
studies both sides and imposes a settlement.
23. 4. Conciliation
• GRIT “Graduated and Reciprocated Initiatives in
Tension Reduction”
- The basic idea is that one side can initiate de-escalation
by making a small, unilateral (one-sided) concession to the
other side, and at the same time, communicating a desire
or even an expectation that this gesture will be matched
with unequal response from the opponent does response
from the opponent. If the opponent does respond positively,
the first party can make a second concession, and a “peace
spiral” begins.
