Blog 39 - Monday, March 13, 2017

Welcome back from March Break!

The Greasers and Socials are about to RUMBLE!

In rumbles, people get hurt and could possibly die.

Is fighting the best way to solve a problem?

What are other possible ways of solving an external conflict?

Have you ever been in a conflict with someone? How did you resolve it?

Explain.

  1. I do not think that fighting is ever the "right" option in any situations. (With some exemptions of course) You would just hurt people and probably would just make you mad afterwards anyway. Another way to solve a problem is to talk about and be friends. Then, without yelling or being violent. Everyone could be happy, yay. :D And yes, I have been in a conflict with someone, usually I would *try solve it peacefully and non violently.

  2. Fighting is not the best way to settle an argument. In fact, that's what caused war in the first place. They decided that it was a good idea to settle problems with violence and death. There are hundreds of different things you can do instead of fighting to settle conflicts, such as taLKING it OUT, SETTLING THEIR DIFFERENCES (i accidentally pressed caps lock) and many other things.I have been in a conflict before with someone, and I settled it by apologizing, he did too, and we were cool again! violence shoukld never be the first option. It shoulnt be an option at all.

    4. Hitler's first choice was to be an artist, when that flopped he just gave up and got mad at life and did all the horrible things to people.

  3. First of all I had a GREAT March Break. Anyway back to the point, fighting is not the right way to solve a problem. In my elementary school we had people that were called "Peermiaters". We would be the people who solved the problems, and from what I learned fighting is not the solution. When you fight someone you just make the problem worse and you create more violence. Someone either ends up being hurt Emotionally and Physically. I have been in some problems but we never fought instead we tried to resolve the problem by speaking to each other and hearing different sides of the story. At the end everyone is happy and we just go back to playing. Most of the problems are just stupid and causing drama for no reason. The best way to solve a problem is talking to each other. COMMUNICATION IS THE BEST CREATION TO SOLVE PROBLEMS. (I made that up)

  5. I don’t think fighting will and has ever been the right way to solve a problem. Fighting doesn’t do any good, except give people a good hit in the head and some pretty bad cuts/bruises. To me, the best way to resolve a fight, is to talk it out. Obviously everybody gets in fights, and it would be practically impossible to say you’ve never gotten into a fight, so yes, I’ve gotten into a fight before. In the fights that I have gotten into, I’ve always talked it out. No matter what,I’ve always talked about how I felt and why I was mad, if they didn’t understand. Even if I felt like not talking to them and wishing they were never alive, I still talked to them.

  6. I have been in fights and a lot of them but usually it is not a good show sometime actually all the time at least someone gets hurt. But sometime I try to solve things in the good ways but if it turn out or if they just punch people it until then it will turn into a bad show. Though people say it is telling an adult but since elementary school some adults just say it doesn't matter. Another way is to ignore the person.In some ways the people you fight don't like that so they straight up punch you. that could be bad.

  7. I don’t think fighting is the best way to solve things. It’s not very appropriate unless you are in a war. Even then it is not great to fight. I don’t think fighting is the best way to solve conflicts. I think the best way is to just talk it out. That would seem the most practical way instead of starting a full on war. I haven’t really been in a fight other than my friends and I were playing in the snow and there was ice on the ground and we started playing with that. Then we were throwing at each other (We were like 7 years old when this happened) and I got a piece of ice in my face. After that I had scars all over my face. The other person told on me saying it was my fault for “destroying” his “boulder” when he shoved the ice sheet at my face. I haven’t liked him since. I have been a bystander many times when a fight happened, like when my friends and I were having a fun Nerf war and two of my friends started arguing over a Nerf gun (this was last year).

  9. It sort of depends on what the situation is. For me, it is kind of what mood I am in. Sometimes when I am very angry and mad, I would want to punch someone but if you are just talking in a board meeting about a solution to pick, then you should talk it out. Like I just mentioned, another way to resolve a conflict is to talk it out. Almost everyone would say that talking it out is the best way to solve a fight and sometimes I do agree. I have been in a conflict before but it wasn't a crazy one that you'd punch or attack if you'd have to. It was with other people and friends. I don't really remember what we were arguing about but it wasn't something insane.

  10. I don't think fighting is the best way to resolve fights but sometimes you still do it.The best is just not to fight. If not(this is going to sound cheesy) just use your words. You just hurt somebody physically for no really good reason. Most fights are just some little stupid fights.I mean its different in different situations.

  11. Fighting is definitely not the way to solve a problem. Even though my brothers seem to think it is, they have proven that it’s not. I think the best way to solve a conflict for sure is to talk it out. Usually people get in conflicts because of a misunderstanding, so sitting down and talking about it calmly can help you resolve the problem. I have been in a conflict before. Many, actually. I’ve resolved literally all of them by sitting down and talking about it. Once I got in an argument with my sister and my step sister, so we sat down, the 3 of us and my step mom, and talked for 2 and a half hours. It was long and boring, but we solved the problem!

  12. Honestly, fighting is never the solution and you should always try and use your words. However, if you are being attacked and you need to use some self defence, then of course you have to fight back. Other ways of solving external conflict can be as followed, using your words, talking to an adult or supervisor as well as ignoring any hateful comments directed towards you. I have definitely been in a conflict with another person. I wouldn't be human if I didn't. I have not had a physical conflict yet but many verbal conflicts regarding black nail and threats. This was only last year. The way I handled the situation was first, trying my best to use my words and find an agreement to go out seperate ways. When that did not work, I went to my parents who gave me advice. Once I used that advice I thought it would be over, yet it wasn't. It had only fuelled more fire, so I did what anyone would do in that case, I went to the principal. After speaking with the principal the problem dissolved and the other student and I did not speak to each other after. (Thank you!) we haven't spoken to each other since and I am glad for that!

  13. In the end the greasers won the rumble because one of Tim Shepard's men used a pipe to cheat and then Ponyboy and Dally went to see Johnny before he died. Fighting is a bad way to resolve conflicts or other problems. I do fight sometimes in conflicts and it doesn't feel great afterwards. So the lesson is never fight in conflicts even though you can say it but it won't happen.

  14. In my opinion fighting is deffinetly not the way to solve a dispute or a rivalry. Because the socials and and the greasers are such enemies and they dispose each other so much. The greasers are more poor and come from disfunctional families. The socials like to jump and hurt greasers for fun and they come from rich families who spoil them. These two are polar opposite's no wonder they both don't like each other, they have nothing in common. A different way to solve a rivalry like this one is to trade something off like the socials are not allowed to pick fights and jump greasers and greasers are only allowed to start rumbles with there own kind and have to stay on there territory. They don't have to like each other but they also don't have to be mean to each other and hurt each other. All in all to say that there are much better ways to solve a dispute without people having to get killed or hurt because at the end of the day a person is a person and no one should be treated more less then someone else.

  15. A rumble deos not solve a conflict!! Fighting won't help anything it will just cause pain. Adding additional conflict will make things worse. The best way to solve a problem is to talk it out in person. NOT on social media and NOT in a physical fight. Hurting someone is never the answer. If their is a really big problem get help.

  16. Fighting does not solve a conflict in most ways. It is, sometimes, instinct (fighting with brothers, etc.). I think that the best way to solve a problem is to find a solution. It may come as a surprise, but for my brothers, seeking a solution is not an option...AT ALL. I always get into fights with my brothers. Sometimes we solve the problem otherwise, I just look at it as training. But really...fighting is not the way to, especially with siblings and grave enemies. Solving a conflict for me means me talking it out to the person and possibly taking a break from talking to that person.

  18. Fighting is for sure not the only way to resolve conflict. There are other ways such as word so speaking/ talking. You can talk to an adult get them involved and be able to help. So what I'm trying to say is there are always other way to resolve conflict especially going to an adult. If I ever have problem I first talk to whom ever I'm in conflict with and if that doesn't work then I go right to an adult.

  19. most all of the time, fighting doesn't solve the problem. there obviously are other ways to solve a conflict, but sometimes it seems like there's only one. Kick and scream at someone until they say yes or realize that you where right. BUT THATS NOT RIGHT you need to snap out of it and realize you're just going to hurt someone or yourself. other ways could be talk to the person you are fighting with or a friend or family member. And there's always the classic scream into your pillow or punch something like a punching bag. I ALWAYS have conflicts with my sister and i am take way less long to get over something compared to her so, i am always ready to move on with my life and forget about it and she's still analyzing the details. We usually just ignore each other for the afternoon then i have to say sorry because i know she will be mad at me for ever and never apologize (even if she's wrong and she knows it) . Oh well even if i don't mean it i'm preventing a fight.

  20. To be honest, I don't think fighting is always a way of solving problems. But I think sometimes it is. We you are just so mad at someone or a group of people, I don't think talking it out is going to solve anything. By fighting you could possible get hurt or even die, but it could also trigger a memory flash of the times you two got along, which could end a fight right there. But if that doesn't happen, and you all just let out all your anger a frustration for some time, could actually make you feel better about yourself in the end. Although I personally have never been in violent conflicts or fights, I have seen friends been in fights and have tried my best to try breaking it up.

  21. Fighting is never te right answer. I hate fighting and I don't get into them often unless I'm with my sister. I mean why can't people just talk without physical contact it's stupid. People can get severely injured or killed in fights or rumbles and I don't think it's an acceptable behavior. The worst fight I got into was with my sister and the worst thing that happened was she had a bruise on her and and I had one on my head and leg. I also had a nasty cut on my stomach after she pushed me into the stairs. We faught until my parents got involved so we fault fo about two minutes and it was for a stupid reason.... We couldn't aggree on what movie to watch. I've never gotten in a worse fight and I hated it. Overall people should be mature and not fight each other r just talk it out it'd not the end of the world.

  22. I don't think fighting is ever the answer to any problem. There are many other ways of solving problems when you are in a situation. Such as, you can talk it out or you can these days text it out. At rumbles, people get killed sometimes and yet, kids still go. It's getting much worse these days and it's going to keep getting worse.

  23. I hate fighting but seemingly countries act the same way. every country except Switzerland thinks that it's the only way to do anything(If you got that reference I am proud that you know WW2).All the wars that happen are all because in life country's cant learn anything until they win a war.We could just talk but no country really wants to because they are actually stupid and what you'd call somebody with anger issues.It's so stupid to believe that Hitler caused world war 2 because he wasn't accepted in to art school.

  24. No fighting is definitely not the right thing to solve a problem! I think the best way to solve a problem or to figure out how to end the problem is to talk to an adult. I know everyone says that, but its true it always works. I have never really been into a really bad situation but I have helped friends and heard from them what they have gone threw and they mostly say that they talked to their parents or to their very close friends and they say itreally helps to end the situation or the problem.
