Conflict Resolution Day is observed on the third Thursday of October every year, falling on October 17 this year. Conflicts tend to arise in many areas of our lives, such as workplaces, relationships, and families. It is an unavoidable process of life. What is important, however, is how we resolve it. Conflict resolution does not have to be nasty; it can be resolved through peaceful methods.
In any relationship, disagreement is unavoidable, and possessing the ability to peacefully resolve it when it arises becomes necessary. Conflicts arise because humans have needs, and in a bid to satisfy their individual needs and interests, disputes occur because of clashes of interests. These conflicts can arise between family or friends. It is in consideration of the above that the Association for Conflict Resolution (A.C.R.) established in 2005 what we now know as Conflict Resolution Day.
Now to you, what do you daily to resolve the conflict between you and your sibling, friends or colleagues.
If there is that friend whom you have not been talking with because of one conflict or the other, we encourage to you pause whatever you are doing and place a call across.
Reach out to that family member and resolve that problem now.
We are counting on you to promote peace in the world.
