What Is The Best Response To Conflict

Have you ever had a conflict to deal with and were unsure how to handle it correctly? Having a positive attitude is the best response you can have when you are dealing with a conflict. There are many examples in the world of why this is true. For example, the stories Dear Miss Breed, The Diary of Anne Frank, and Prisoner B-3087 all provide great examples of why having a positive attitude is the best response to conflict. In these stories, there are characters who, in the face of very severe conflicts, found ways to overcome these struggles by maintaining a positive viewpoint. When dealing with conflict, having a positive attitude is the best way to respond and overcome the conflict. Dear Miss Breed is a compilation of the many letters a librarian
In one of her entries, Anne says “Yesterday at lunchtime I had an appointment with the dentist on Jan Luykenstraat. It’s a long way from our school on Stadstimmertuinen… Fortunately, people automatically offer you something to drink.” In this excerpt, Anne talks about her long, dreaded walk to the dentist in the heat. Instead of complaining about the long walk, she has a positive outlook on her dentist appointment, saying that at least the people at her dentist offer her something to drink.

It’s more like being on vacation in some strange pension.” Anne misses her old home, and nothing compares to it, especially not the house her family resided in to hide from the
The story is about a young Jewish boy named Yanek who resided in Poland during the 1930s. Yanek is separated from his family and forced from one concentration camp to another. He encounters many brutally evil events at these camps. On page 137, the text says “Nazis called the new camp B III, but we prisoners called it Mexico. I don’t know where the name started, but Mexico always sounded exotic to me. Warm and sunny, with beaches and laughing faces. Maybe that’s why the prisoners nicknamed it Mexico. To make them think of something very different from what B III really was.” In this excerpt, Yanek talks about the camp he is currently residing in. The camp has very terrible conditions, and many people die in this camp every single day. The prisoners call the camp Mexico, which is very ironic because as Yanek says, Mexico is thought of as a very happy and positive place. They call the camp Mexico because it forces them to think about Mexico, which is a very positive place. They are able to almost forget about the terrible place they are currently living in and instead think about a place they would enjoy residing in, instead of B III. Prisoner B-3087 portrays many reasons why having a positive attitude is the best response to
