The Four

In the beginning there was too much ruckus at the time because there were too many people intially trying to think of a decision that would help ones own grade. Each person had their own decisions and others opinions or suggestions had no meaning to them. There were a few that didnt care because they had already done well on the exam, so they all just agreed upon any decision that were made. However for those who done "not so well" were the ones trying to figure a way to NOT DROP the class and recieve a good grade.

After a few moments had passed, I took a step into the "House of Representatives" to see what ideas they were coming up with in the middle of the room. Personally when I took that Next Step in to the "meeting" in the middle, I was trying to handle the conflict with accommodation because I saw the issue that was occurring and more importantly I saw what the majority wanted. The top three ideas were as follows: 1) Curve the exam 2) Drop the lowest grade 3) The format of the exam. I used this method because it seemed to be the most effective way, until there were many or few disagreements. Hence we had to use the avoidance and collaborating method to gain control.

HOLD UP! How did I become the general speaker for the class? I heard that there were many bad things said in class about me in class! All I tired to do was gain a whole understanding of what everyone wanted and people were getting frustrated because they couldnt get their way or I mistakenly said some things wrong.

Anyways ultimately I believe that using all methods of "how people handle conflict" would give the best affect and work the best!
