Basic Needs
Some of the reasons associated with how individuals deal with conflict are related to the needs they are trying to have met. Some of the basic needs are identified by Abraham Maslow and William Glasser:
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
Glasser's Basic Needs
Five needs I feel a person is trying to meet when they are involved in a conflict are, Acceptance, Peace within each other, Love/Belonging, Physical needs (food/water, sex and sleep), and Independence. -Amanda Jackson
ReplyDeleteI am more on the side of Dr. William Glasser's side of the basic needs that should be met. all of those category's should be met to have a happy and healthy life.

Five needs a person needs met when they are involved in conflict is love and belonging, respect, so they feel equal and not overpowered, their wellbeing, so they know they will be okay and that they are not threatened, freedom so they can be independent and make their own decisions, safety so they are not living in fear and don't feel endangered and self- actualization so they can feel accepted and be able to understand how the other person is feeling to problem solve, and feel the power of being able to take control over a situation they feel threatened in.

i think the 5 needs that vould cause a person to have a conflict is what abraham Maslows hierarchy of needs because these are the things that most cause conflicts. self-actualization can cause conflicts because you could not agree with what someone has says. Esteem causes conflicts when u get jelous imbarast or even getting put down by someone who you thought cared about you.love/belonging this can cause conflict when you have the need to feel you belong some where. safty can cause conflict when someone around you or your friend doesnt make you safe and you tell your friend you are leave and they get mad because they dont know why you left.physiological can cause conflict when u feel like you dont have/ get what u physicly need.

I agree with Dr. William as people do want to feel a sense of belonging and love. When someone is faced with a conflict they want to know they are loved and want the person to help fix the problem so that you know you belong with the fellow arguer. Personally I have witnessed people who argue for power and it is so true! That person may be wrong but they want to feel superior. I have also seen conflict between my friends that happen just for fun because their is nothing to say. People will also create conflict in order to protect themselves. They will fight for what they need weather it is relaxation or food. As a teen I openly agree with Dr. Williams last point on freedom. I have many conflicts with my parents about freedom to choose my choices & want more independence. These are the things we need out of conflict. Love, sense of belonging, fun, survival, & freedom!

In my opinion, the five most common needs a person is trying to meet in conflict is love/belonging, freedom, power, survival, and self-actualization. It all depends who the conflict is with and in what circumstances, but I believe these are the five most common in general.

personally I think that Dr. Williams Glasser's needs are more what people are looking for. I think that laughter, belonging, being loved, an freedom are few key big ones. we all want to feel loved, belong, and have a good laugh. we don't want conflict to happen, but when it does happen be the first to apologize and make things right. and if they don't want to talk or they're trying to make things worst, leave them alone until they are ready to talk and resolve things.
