Journal number 6

What patterns can you identify in your conflicts? Do they fit with any of the models we have discussed?

I can´t say which patterns I have during a conflict because I think that they vary depending on the conflict I am in and more important it depends on the other party.

For example do I have other patterns whenever I am in a conflict with a friend. During these conflicts is it very even between the two of us which means that nobody has more power than the other person.

However when I am in a conflict with my father the situation changes a little. Therefore I feel like we are not on the same level and the power is not equal and as a result of that I am not in such a good position to make him convince about my allowances and aims.

But I also recognized that the conflict between us changed when I grew up and even if I do not feel like we are on the same level and therefore have the same power in the conflict to achieve our aims does the power become more alike and he actually listens to me more often and considers my opinions and goal, aims more often.
