What communication strategies can be used by to prevent healthy conflict from evolving into unhealthy conflict


This question is for my school. Here it is again
What communication strategies can be used to prevent healthy conflict from evolving into unhealthy conflict?
If any one can please help me out with this weird question that would be great thank You Nicki Ferguson

Avoid the "visceral"…This means avoid letting feelings overwhelm you… All "namecalling" is typically visceral,has nothing to do with subjects and content discussed… And typically its one purpose is to cause injury and emotional slight…
Beyond this observe simple modicums of respect towards the other …Do not fixate to the idea of converting them to your point of view … Listening thoroughly to all they say,and incorporating the contexts of their ideas to your arguments will make you all the more persuasive …
These are actually quite simple to practice and adhere too …In our "Democratic" society,they were once the norm …Now they have become rare …But you will stand out if you practice them …And in fact your technique will 1)bring levity and weight to your perspectives …2)Will frustrate your adversaries who lack the same selfcontrol …
Remember the point is not to "win"…The point is to persuade …Few will have the humility to admit you have changed them …Yet nonetheless your persuasions will change their perspectives …

:D -if someone below’s gonna paraphrase-I wish they’d keep it coherent…next thing she’ll be burning her hubby’s carseats…

    um, that guy above was way too deep.
    1. don’t say "YOU, did this.." blaming the other leads to unhealthy conflict. no blame game.
    2. listen. Actively listening and trying to understand and put yourself in his/her shoes keeps from unhealthy conflict.
    3. offer a solution to the problem, but not a "mysided" solution. offer up a win-win solution.

    so basically, listen, learn, don’t blame, and offer a win-win solution. if you’re teacher doesn’t like this answer, tell them (unhealthy conflict) to go to college.
