Реферат: Resolving Conflict With Compromising

the back door about forty five minutes ago and hadn?t seen him since. She

knew right then that Mike had taken the car. She knew she had to be at the

hospital very soon so she called her neighbor, explained the situation, and asked

if he would drive her to hospital. Being a good neighbor he said yes.

When she arrived at the hospital and ran to the emergency room, she was

a little surprised to see it was her son laying on the bed. She asked another

nurse what how he was doing and Mike said, ?I?m ok mom… I?m sorry?. He

car when he was told no. Sometimes this might not work, but you shouldn?t do

something like Mike did.

they would be too busy yelling to listen to the other ones thoughts. By talking

instead of yelling they get a better understanding of what they want.

These are just a few good reasons why compromise is the best way to

settle a conflict between teens and parents. The conflict in the story could have

easily been settled by compromising a little. If it were settled, Mike would be at
