Journal Entry 26: Conflict Avoidance

            Conflict is something required in a story. If you don't have a conflict then your story won't be interesting and no one will like it. Conflicts are in real life too. We have conflicts everyday and anytime. I think half of the people in real life try to avoid conflicts, and the other half of the people welcome or accept it. Everyone treats conflicts in different ways and with different emotions. And there are situations where conflicts should be avoid or situations when conflicts should be welcome or is good for you. In some situation, when conflicts can't help anything or if they make things more complicated in a bad way, conflicts should be avoided. And people who usually try to avoid conflicts are the people who thinks ahead but are easily afraid and don't want to get in to any troubles. But on the other hand, conflicts can sometimes be a good thing. Conflicts can be a good thing when it is a competition to make things better or when you are having a boring life. If we don't have any conflicts in our life, then we will be all lazy and doesn't do anything. And we will have a very boring life. I think I would rather welcome a conflict because I believe that life without any conflicts will be boring. I am also kind of a trouble maker so I often face all kinds on conflicts that I will have to solve everyday. But I like it this way. An example of conflict will be when we went to ThiMUN, Ms. Pamela wanted us to stay in our hotel rooms and study, while we wanted to go out and go shopping and play. So as the result, we finished our homework early so Ms. Pamela agreed to let us go out.
