Implementing a Collaborative Strategy

      During a conflict with a roommate I could first use the three phases of the collaborative process model. The first step to solving any problems is too obviously acknowledge the problem with my roommate about her dishes and your late portions of the utility bill. During the direction setting phase my roommate and I can discuss what may be causing her to have these issues and why these issues matter to me so that we can develop a clear understanding of each other’s needs before finding a solution during the structuring phase.

        Collaborative strategy would probably help in most conflicts that are similar to this because it allows both sides to be able to be involved in the solution rather than just one person pointing the finger and deciding how the problem with be fixed.

Another thing I saw was that when people are in groups cultural tendencies tend to get amplified. City people are more individualistic and shy when surrounded by other other city kids, while a suburban and country kids are less individualistic and more concerned about the group. But I don't think those labels have to do with anything when it come to deciding who has the easier time negotiating the big contract. I Consider the cultural tendencies of my classmates as them being involved in what outcomes they want to see. One person from a group centered culture may be more aggressive when solo and then more accommodating in a group. While someone from an individualist mindset, like my city peers may be more demanding and independent when teamed with other individualists country peer.
