1 answer:

3 0

Functional conflict is a conflict that is productive to the long term goals of the people involved, and is respectful of all its participants. For example, two people having an honest debate about how best to spend a limited amount of finances, while being conscious of each others opinions, is a functional conflict.
Dysfunctional conflict is characterized by loud voices, name-calling, and not listening to what other people say. When an argument devolves into insults and epithets, this is dysfunctional.
People avoid conflict because they either fear hurt emotions, or fear that they do not possess the ability to argue persuasively or clearly enough to "win" the conflict.

your cousin posted a link to an article with an incendiary headline on social media. what action should you take?

horrorfan [7]

Considering the situation described above, the best action to take is to "research the source of the article to evaluate its credibility and reliability."

This is because social media has been found many times without a number where rumors and opinions travel easily.

Also, because an incendiary headline is a sensational headline that writers or bloggers use to attract readers, there is a high tendency that the article content might be false or just an opinion.

Therefore to be sure about the article's truthfulness sent to me, I need to research the source to evaluate its credibility and reliability.
