Interpersonal conflict: a

disagreement between two or


more people.
Intrapersonal conflict: when you
think about something, wrestle
with it and have inner conflict.
Name THREE causes of conflict in any relationship.

Family and friends


Difficulty communicating
Criticism

2.3 Discuss TWO impact why avoiding conflict is not healthy in any
relationship.

If you avoid conflict, your partner might try to get you to respond to them by pursuing you
more. In response, you could end up becoming even more distant. This sets up an unhealthy
relationship dynamic. The more you withdraw, the more your partner chases.

1. Resentment and unresolved issues

When conflicts are not addressed, they tend to fester and grow, leading to resentment and
unresolved issues. This can cause a buildup of negative emotions that can eventually cause a
rift in the relationship. Resentment can also lead to passive-aggressive behavior, further
damaging the relationship.

2. Lack of communication

Avoiding conflict can result in a lack of communication, which is a vital component of any
healthy relationship. Without communication, there can be no mutual understanding,
compromise, or resolution. This can lead to misunderstandings and a breakdown in the
relationship.
2.4 Elaborate on how unresolved conflict can result in Gender Based
Violence and Femicide (GBVF).

Unresolved conflicts can fuel Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and femicide by reinforcing
power imbalances, normalizing violence, increasing stress, disrupting support systems,
allowing impunity, weaponizing gender roles, and making displaced populations more
vulnerable.
It is fairly well documented that gender-based violence (GBV) increases during times of war
and conflict. This includes sexual violence, forced or early marriage, and intimate partner
violence, among others. In some conflicts, GBV is used as a weapon of war to create fear
and terrorize populations. Lack of access to health services, education, and employment —
particularly for women and girls—aggravates the situation.
Gender inequities are a root cause of GBV, which disproportionately affects women and girls
living in conflict situations.
The lack of delivery of essential services to the population who has experienced conflict and
instability can have a disproportionate impact on specific groups of the population, including
women and girls

2.5 Distinguish between the following terms that relate to conflict:

a. Conflict Avoidance

b. Conflict Confrontation

C. Conflict Resolution

Avoiders deliberately ignore or withdraw from a conflict rather than face it. Avoiders do not
seem to care about their issue or the issues of others. People who avoid the situation hope
the problem will go away, resolve itself without their involvement or rely on others to take
the responsibility.
Conflict confrontation is the act of addressing and dealing with a conflict directly and head-
on. “An example of this might be a manager sitting down with an employee to discuss a
disagreement they have been having and working to find a solution. “
Conflict resolution is the process of ending a dispute and reaching an agreement that
satisfies all parties involved. Since conflict is an essential part of being human, effective
conflict resolution is not designed to avoid disagreements

2.6 Sometimes conflict in a relationship can be healthy. Justify this


statement.

Conflict can lead to creative solutions to problems. Confronting conflict allows people to
engage in an open and honest discussion, which can build relationship trust. Conflict
encourages people to grow both as humans and in their communication skills. Conflict can
help people become more assertive and less aggressive.
If you use conflict as a growth process, it can help you increase patience, care, and love,
helping you focus on what's really important. And what's really important is the happiness
and health of your relationship and your partner, as well as yourself.

2.7 Recommend TWO ways in which a person should approach


conflict resolution in order to sustain healthy relationships.

Establish boundaries
Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, even during an argument. If your partner
swears at you, calls you names, or ridicules you, tell them to stop. If they don’t, walk away
and tell you that you don’t want to continue arguing right now.

Find the real issue


Arguments tend to happen when one partner’s wants or needs aren’t being met. Try to get
to the real issue behind your argument. It’s possible that you or your partner are feeling
insecure or like you aren’t being treated respectfully, and are expressing those feelings
through arguments over other things. Learn to talk about the real issue so you can avoid
constant fighting that obscures the heart of the problem.

Agree to disagree
If you and your partner can’t resolve an issue, sometimes it’s best to just drop it. You can’t
agree on everything and it’s important to focus on what matters. If the issue is too
important to drop and you can’t agree to disagree, it may be a sign that you’re not
compatible.

Compromise when possible


Compromise is a major part of conflict resolution and any successful relationship, but it can
be hard to actually achieve. Take turns making decisions about things like what to eat for
dinner, or find a middle ground that allows you both to feel satisfied with the outcome.

Consider it all
If the issue you’re arguing over changes how you feel about each other or forces you to
compromise your beliefs or morals, it’s important that you stress your position. If not,
consider your partner’s views on the issue, why they’re upset, and if compromise is
appropriate. Try to contextualize your arguments to give each other room to express your
feelings.
