Writing Assignment 6

My conflict management strategy

my conflict manegement strategy was withdrawing, compromising, and Smoothing.
I think the result of this test is true, because basically I am not good at poiting bad habits to my friends, in other words, I really nervous about whar the other person think after I pointed otheres. If I got angry about my friend's behavior, at that time I make decision to say something for my friends, but when I face to friend I can not say with anger I always avoid arguing emotional. therefore, sometimes friends can not notice what I was angry and someone who want to be said bad things about her behavior at that time I noticed, sometimes get angry because of my conflict avoiding characteristics.
Of course I am not never facing conflict person, but I am in the habits of storing complaint and finally I expode with anger and the relationship is hard to make up.
I tried to say something at the time I noticed after I pointed about my conflict avoiding characteristics by my friend, because I realized, after arguing about the complaint, the relationship can became stronger and if my friend stand about my behavior, I do not feel good.

chapter 9 "Risk"



I was surprised that Shachleton was cautious man because I believe that the reader should be brave and not afraid risk taking. I know my idea is a little bit extreme, so let me explain it.

When I imagine "an adventure" and "a reader"and connected both of them, one animation was occured in my mind, that was "one piece".

The story of "one piece" is, as you know, the adventure of pirate sailing around the world with members to be a king of pirate. One main character Luffy, he is a reader of the ship, have a great appetite for adventure. He never afraid taking risk but, if there are danger, sometimes other members of ship stop taking a risk. Thus they make a decision to do something dangerous by discussing and sometimes arguing between themselves. It can say the answer of the ship is the answer of the all members.

From the chpter 9, however, the author said Shackleton had a both of two side which is never taking a unnecessary chance and not hesitating when a risk is justified. and then I wondered is it possible for one person who are cautious to judge we should take a risk or not each times. I mean shakleton could have definitly missed some chance because of him carelessness.

He could have a bood sence of judging whether he should take a risk or not, however I can guess there are also good members surrounded who supported Shakleton.

I am interested in "Egalitarian view" the author mentioned it in Chapter 6 ''Core Team Values". "Egalitarian" means everyone is equal and have a same right. "All organization have hierarchy", as the author said, historically there are always social position in human community whether it is the scale of big group or small group and, it is forced by strong force or weak force. In the Shakleton's ship also there are status difference, so Shakleton create the sense of equality "Egalitarian view".
I think the sense of quality is essential for group because if there are hierarchy, the group can not help and be open minded each other.
It reminds me of my high school life. When I was a member of kendo club, all member took a positive attitude for doing chores such as bringing a cup of water for the teacher after excersise and wiping the floor. At that time, the younger members have to work harder, however, I remembered the old members took a positive attitude faster than any other members. Thus the old mambers are seemed to be arrogant but the rule of equality is avoid being arrogant for the old members.
Therefore, The sense of equality is important to manage the group. This is because being generous is really difficult task for people. I also think what Shackleton did is respectable because he imploved the situation of group to take a positive attitude.

As long as people are in a couple of groups, people helps each other. At the same time, people can not be escaped from the guilty. I understand this idea in brain but I was annoyed by guilty until quite recently.
I am a member of acappella group which is singing a song without any instrument, thus we made a harmony and also the sounds of drams by the voice only. I am practicing two song recently and I could not sing the one of main part well the other day during practicing. I feel guilty because I said I want to sing that part and I did not know that how do my voice make loudly and feel better. I talked to my mom and I asked her to give me some advice because she was graduated from college of music and was major in the vocal music course. She told me some advice to do voice training (unfortunately the kind of voice production has a difference between the classics she learned and the pop music I am practicing) and also she give me a positive idea. What she said was "Don't think too much, you do not need to feel guilty so much, because having a responsibility and trusting each other is good thing for you. It means that without you, the other people can not make the harmony. Enjoy singing!!". I am always surprised and helped by her way of thinking everything positive. and also I have learned that if I feel guilty, I do not need to show my guilty and keep pulling a long face. I made a decision that If I feel guilty of missed something, I do not pull a long face and I will try to win the confidence from the next time.
