In a conflict, each person will have their own view of the situation at hand and react differently. As the old saying says, there are two sides to every story. For example, let’s say you have a couple that gets into an argument or should I say, a conflict, about their child spilling juice on the living room carpet. The mother may view it as being a simple mistake and can easily be cleaned, whereas the father may make a big deal out of it. Obviously, both perspectives are different based on their reactions.…
Conflict between people is a part of life and it is not necessarily a bad thing. I believe a relationship with frequent conflict may be healthier than one that seems to completely perfect or does not have any observable conflict. Conflicts can occur at many different levels of interaction, work, among friends, family members, and intimate relationships. When conflict occurs a relationship can be weakened or strengthened depending on the conflict and its resolution. Thus, conflict is a very critical event in the course of any relationship. Conflict can cause resentment,…
Courage - “ Face fear, danger or adversity (physical or moral)” (Army values). What feeling emerge in our souls when we hear this word? Appreciation, regard, apprehension or maybe just plain nothing. This word has a long history and its cause is from the Latin word coraticum. After the world entered English through French it was finished with an English postfix, which communicates activity or the after effect of action. Implying that its an activity that originates from the heart. The principle interpretation of the utilization of this term is to depict individuals who have a nature of psyche that permits them to face peril without apprehension, which is likewise frequently alluded to as valiance or strength. Courage is strength, fearlessness to stand up to and transcend ones own particular reasons for alarm.…

“In Balfour, where he landed early in the morning, he almost lost courage when he found out that nobody understood him. But at the hardware store a man- the same who had made him a present of the cap he was wearing-had made signs to him as if pitching sheaves, meanwhile talking to him, tentatively , in short monosyllables, apparently asking questions./ he thought that now he looked exactly like a Canadian.” (Frederick Philip Grove 21-22).…
As I read “Speaking of Courage” by Tim O’Brien. I thought of many ways to interpret the story’s meaning. However, after much pondering and reflection I feel that the road around the lake that Bowker incircles continuously throughout the story leads to the true meaning of the entire story. There are many instances in the story of people and objects going nowhere. Everything and everyone he sees along the road seems to be stuck, like him.…
Courage by definition is “the attitude of facing and dealing with anything recognized as dangerous, difficult, or painful, instead of withdrawing from it; quality of being fearless or brave” (Webster 325).

In forming a good society, I believe, courage is a necessity. Courage is what helps us reach out to help others. Courage is what solidifies our beliefs.…
Courage is defined as possessing or characterized by courage; brave. I think I am courageous because I do gymnastics. You have to be very brave to go onto a beam the is only 4 inches wide. Also to do all the flips, the people in the olympics make it look so easy but it is not easy to just jump and twist and hope you land it perfectly. Next is all the injuries. Gymnastics is easily one of the most dangerous sports. In the Olympics a male gymnast broke his shin because he landed wrong. You have to be pretty brave to even do a back handspring which is one of the basic skills in gymnastics. You have to trust yourself and if you don't, then you are not very brave or courageous. I trust myself so that is why I think I am courageous.…

I think it means doing anything that you are not doing on a regular basis it takes courage to do that task. The actual definition of courage is the ability to do something that you know is difficult or dangerous.…
Courage is when some does something that frightens them, or they overcome their fears. As much as I think riding your bike without training wheels, or jumping off of the diving board when you were little takes courage, courage is something that is definitely earned. Feeling fear yet still choosing to act of those fears is something that represents courage to me. Standing up for what you believe in regardless of the situation is also very courageous and it takes a certain type of person to stand up for their values. Doing what you want to do and following your heart is a a big one to me. There are many more reasons why, but those ones are the reasons that come to mind when I hear the word courage.…
