Conflict Resolution
There are very many ways to resolve an issue but personally I think the best resolutions are:
Collaboration: The action of working together with someone to produce or create something.
Work with someone to help gain awarness for the feelings of homosexuals and your feelings towards homophobia. Let people know it is not okay with you that people are out there saying gay is not ok, or being gay is a sin. Working together will make it ore affective.
Active Listening:Active listening is a communication technique. Active listening requires the listener to undestand, interpret and evaluate what the speaker is saying.
I.D.E.A.L
I-Identify the problem.
Realize what the problem is that you are currently encountering.
D- Discuss possible ways you might choose to solve the problem.
Figure out how you are going to solve the situation you are currently encountering by bainstorming a few solutions.
E- Evaluate each possible solution
From the solutions you have brainstormed think about the pros and cons of each solution and figure out which solution is the most accurate, and positive as possible.
A-Act on the best solution.
The solution that you picked to be the best, act on it, make a plan step by step so when you are going through with your solution you knnow exactly how you are going to handle the solution and handle yourself.
L-Learn about your plan.
Evaluate your plan before actually starting to go through with it. Think about some positive out comes, and then think about the negative out comes that you may encounter.
Anger Managment Skills
To deal with homophobia, some may simply remain calm, and distract themselves from the situation. Then others will then cause a commotion, harm themselves, harm others even.
When people handle a situation negatively, of which I would not recommend, terrible things could and can occur. Homophobic comments have left some homosexuals feeling absolutely alone, and some of these homosexuals relieve their pain just as a straight depressed person would do, by cutting or even commiting that dreadfu word. Suicide. Again I would definitely NOT under any cicumstances handle homophobia in this manor. Ever.
To handle a situation positively remain calm about the situation, do something that makes you happy and calm, whether it be going on youtube and listening to your favourite song or reading, it is your decision, but all around just take the high road and leave the hate and dissappointment behind and move on.
