WIN-WIN
We Can Work It Out
We found out that the young people who had a substantial number of lessons in the Resolving Conflict Creatively Curriculum ... not only did better in terms of people skills, that they managed their emotions, they were less violent and more caring, but they actually did better on their academic achievement tests.
~ Linda LantieriEmotional intelligence in the work that we do, in the Resolving Conflict Creatively Program, is about equipping young people with the kindsof skills they need to both identify and manage their emotions, to communicate those emotions effectively, and to resolve conflict nonviolently. So it's a whole set of skills and competencies that, for us, fall under the umbrella of emotional intelligence.
~ Linda LantieriWe're finally learning that it is not an either-or situation ... Feelings and learning and emotion are all very integral to each other."
~ Linda LantieriConflict is inevitable, but combat is optional.
-- Max LucadoTo obtain a just compromise, concession must not only mutual--it must be equal also....There can be no hope that either will yield more than it gets in return.
-- Supreme Court Justice John Marshall
"The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death."
-- Thomas Paine.
-- Bertrand Russell
"To observe people in conflict is a necessary part of a child's education. It helps him to understand and accept his own occasional hostilities and to realize that differing opinions need not imply an absence of love."
-- Milton R. SapersteinI will not play at tug o'war.
I'd rather play at hug o'war,
Where everyone hugs
Instead of tugs,
Where everyone giggles
And rolls on the rug,
Where everyone kisses,
And everyone grins,
And everyone cuddles,
And everyone wins.
-- Shel SilversteinPeace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of creative alternatives for responding to conflict -- alternatives to passive or aggressive responses, alternatives to violence.
-- Dorothy ThompsonThe story of the human race is characterized by efforts to get along much more than by violent disputes, although it's the latter that makes the history books. Violence is actually exceptional. The human race has survived because of cooperation, not aggression.
-- Gerard VanderhaarYou can stand tall without standing on someone. You can be a victor without having victims.
-- Harriet Woods“Cooperation means win-win, confrontation means lose-lose.”
-- Zhu FengConflict Resolution Day - 3rd Thursday in October
