Chapter six of
Resolving Everyday Conflict
talks about engaging with others, particularly
with corrections. The Bible does tell us clearly that there will be times when we need to address
others' shortcomings, but this is an opportunity to restore rather than an opportunity to prove we
are better. We are to gently engage with others, not aggressively do so. We also should not be
eager to make these corrections and should do them when needed, remembering that we too are
flawed.
Pages 110-132 of the Hocker text talks about power, the structure of conflict. Power is a
creation of various systems and is not possessed by the individual, but instead determined by that
system and participants' reactions to that system. This involves a recognition that power is only
given to those that others depend on, and it is a fluid recognition that changes throughout a
lifecycle.
