Document Summary

Conflict; different types of conflict and sources. Hidden, surface, competition for resources, task interdependence, personality clashes, interpersonal. Important to know how to engage with people and cooperate with each other. We are very global in our workplaces now (ex. having international conferences); it is good to know how to speak to people from different cultures. We are living and working in an increasingly diverse place. If you are going into a workplace you need to be culturally sensitive. We talked about 3 things last week that are central to being a professional: Prejudice attitude that makes someone behave in a certain way; opinion of belief; negative attitude toward individuals who belong to groups considered to be different than the dominant group. Discrimination the way you act on your prejudices. On a test you may have to distinguish between prejudice and discrimination; provide examples (can find in textbook) In canada we protect 11 grounds for discrimination under the canadian human rights.
