Conflict management can be defined as the act of identifying and dealing with disagreements in a sensible, equal and effective manner. It is assumed as a section of the big process of making sure that human beings live in harmony as well as in a systematic way where conflicts are directed towards positive impact in all communal set up.

The judicial Approach

The theory is used to solve conflicts inside a legal structure where third parties are offered a kind of power of attorney, according to the conflict sections’ confidence in them, to take the accountability of developing an effective accord as far as the resolution is barely achievable using the theory. (Cahn & Abigail 2013). Although highly employed, the concept results in a win or loses result.

The conciliatory Approaach

According to Cahn and Abigail(2013), the concept tries to bring the fighting parties with the help of a third party to an accord by developing communication among them, assist them understand the problems existing between them and coming up with possible ways and methods to bring peace in their midst.

Suggestion to better manage conflicts

The different approaches to managing conflicts are:

Avoidance

This is the process of factually ignoring or refusing recognition to any of the parties alleging unfairness and discrimination as well as those who are in position to assist redress the unfairness subjected to the parties (Cahn & Abigail 2013).

Problem solving

The best and sensible approach to develop and manage conflict is coming up with solutions that will best suit all the parties without favoritism or biasness. Problem solving involves developing solutions to existing issues within their environment to the warring parties by themselves or by other parties. This is a non-judgmental and all round participatory of all parties. It facilitates union between fighting parties who in unison analyze the framework of the problem and systematically develop means for reconciling with one another (Cahn & Abigail 2013).

Concept application to better manage a conflict

The conciliatory Approach is one of the best and most applicable forms of conflict management concept. Since time in history, problem solving has been used to settle the warring communities. For instance, in Africa, many retired leaders have brought the fighting parties to peace by sitting them down and sign agreements to cease fire. Today, many communities of the world are coming together to develop solutions to existing problems such as in the increasing rates of terrorisms and environmental degradations, where the parties disagreeing are brought to consensus on the way forward. These methods will still be applicable in future as the world keeps developing and advancing in their management and sophisticated communal integrations.

Judicial approach can be used to shield vulnerable groups by those on power and are misusing it. The judicial approach can be employed when the conciliatory approach has failed in the past, present or in the future. Judicial processes can solve conflicts by ensuring that people’s rights are observed to the later.
