Annotation -
The conflict is not only clash oftwo opposing views, but every situation that can be solved in several ways. Therefore most people struggle with conflicts on a daily basis, both at work and in personal life. This course provides guidance on how to prevent problems from erupting into negative conflicts, how to deal with conflict situations, how to prepare arguments and present them to convince the other party. At the same time, however, it wishes to point out that winning the conflict is not always the best method in long-term, and also to facilitate the methods that lead to understanding and a broadly favorable solution.
