I think a conflict is a problem or disagreement between two people or groups. A conflict can be small, like the argument between Dally and Cherry at the movie theater, or it can be bigger, like when Johnny was beaten up by a group of Socs. The way I respond to conflict changes depending on the situation; if the problem was small and easily solvable, I would try to work things out with the person involved in the conflict; if it wasn't too important, I might try ignoring it and hope the problem goes away. If the conflict was more problematic and needed to be resolved, I would probably go talk to someone else who wasn't involved so they could help me figure out what to do. To resolve a conflict, you might try talking to the person and explaining your point of view to reach a compromise instead of ordering what you want and unilaterally deciding how the situation will end. Also, you could try talking to someone else about the problem and get help solving it. The most important thing to remember when resolving conflict is to stay calm and listen...
