do disagreements and conflict make us uneasy? There are those that identify as battlers, those that avoid conflict at any cost, and those that are the collaborators or peacemakers. Which type are you? do you gravitate toward this style? Is it genetic or something you learned? Who else in your family or household also utilizes this style? Does birth order have anything to do with it? (It is said that middle children are often the peacemakers because they grow up in the middle of conflict.) How come some people have a high tolerance for disagreements and conflict while others have a very low tolerance? Are there benefits to conflict? How does conflict influence our life choices (e.g., relationships, occupations, etc.)?
