Conflict analysis assignment

One-hundred of your total points for this course will be based on your written assignment. The assignment must be written in APA Style (7th ed.) as this is the required style in the Communication Studies Department. These are the requirements for this assignment (and you can see the grading rubric on Canvas).

Select a specific conflict that interests you (e.g., gender, culture, bullies, families, relationships, work, social media, etc.).
Find a conflict in the news that relates to the type of conflict you have chosen. For example, the woman who last year accused a black teenager of stealing her iPhone in New York when she left it in an Uber (She went to trial on Monday, January 10, 2022 and was found guilty of a hate crime and is on probation): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ophFfLiHwjE . Make sure that the event you have chosen meets meet the definition of conflict presented in the lecture, “An expressed struggle . . . “ Identify how the conflict you have selected meets this definition. Write out specifically: “The expressed struggle is . . . the parties are interdependent because of . . . . the conflict is over scarce resources . . . ”
Discuss the dispute using appropriate references (at least five) so that the reader (me, your instructor) can understand the conflict you have referenced. Remember, your sources must be in proper APA Style format.
Explain what dispute resolution method would best resolve this conflict (e.g., mediation, arbitration, litigation, negotiation, etc.). Make sure you provide a clear rationale for this.
Conclude your paper with an explanation of what would be learned from this conflict using concepts from text and lectures. Your final grade will be largely determined by your ability to incorporate information from the text and lectures.
These papers must be no more than five and no less than four pages. You will need a title page and a reference page (these do not count in the total page numbers). Papers are to be double-spaced and the font should be no larger than twelve-point with no more than one-inch margins.
