Problem
1. Create TWO specific conflict scenarios (e.g., personal conflict, group conflict, intra-organizational conflict, and inter-organizational conflict). See examples below.
2. Do NOT identify which type of conflict you are using within your scenario-simply create a good real-world conflict scenario. See examples below.
Be sure that your scenarios actually track the definition of two of the four major conflicts (e.g., personal conflict, group conflict, intra-organizational conflict, and inter-organizational conflict)
For example, your initial post will be created in this FORMAT:
I. Scenario I: Officer Jones, a recent college graduate and new recruit, is being trained by a 12-year veteran officer, Officer Smith. While running a radar unit, Officer Smith decides to stop a convertible with a very attractive female driver, traveling within the speed limit. However, Officer Smith engages the driver in a conversation attempting to get her phone number and a date. Officer Jones confronts Officer Smith regarding his unprofessional and unethical behavior which is in violation of department policies. Officer Smith attempts to demean Officer Jones by reminding him that he is the "training officer" and Officer Jones better learn to "go along" if he wants to "get along" in this police department.
II. Scenario II: Sgt. Wright has been recently promoted to sergeant in the patrol division. The Chief thinks that patrol officers are spending too much time taking coffee breaks at various doughnut shops which have led to numerous citizen complaints that the police spent more eating doughnuts than they do fighting crime. The Chief orders Sgt. Wright to correct this matter. Sgt Wright, under the signature of the Chief, issues a new policy that officers are not to patronize doughnut shops, but to bring their own snacks and coffee and take their breaks in their patrol vehicles. The officers in the patrol division are incensed with this policy and have their own norms and traditions regarding "break time." They feel that this new policy is being applied to the patrol unit only, and it is unnecessary and unfair, given their excellent arrest statistics and crime-fighting efforts.
