The text lists several negatives of conflict: many conflicts involve unfair fighting methods and are focused largely on hurting the other person. Conflict can also lead one to close themselves off from the other person, preventing meaningful communication from taking place and making rewards difficult to exchange. Some of the positives of conflict include forcing one to examine a problem and work toward a solution, and the relationship may emerge stronger and more satisfying than before. Conflict can lead participants to become stronger, more confident and better able to stand up for themselves, and through conflict one can stop resentment from increasing and let their needs be known.
