Answer both of the following questions as completely as possible. Your answers to these two questions should be, in total, at least two paragraphs in length (approx. 250 words):

1. What are the three methods of dealing with history?
2. How are these three methods distinguished from one another? In other words, identify the basic “elements” of each method and contrast them with one another—in this section that will be easiest done with the first two methods.

Once you have completed your post, you will be able to see other students’ responses. Select at least two posts to reply to and write thoughtful responses to both of them (each reply should be at least one paragraph in length). Do not simply say “I agree!” or “Good point!”

In your replies to other students, you may do any of the following: ask questions about the post, answer questions posed in the post, expand on the post’s comments, share relevant web links, or offer an alternative viewpoint. This list is not exhaustive, so don’t hesitate to be creative in your replies. Be sure to stay on topic, however!

By successfully completing this assignment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assignment criteria:

• Competency 1. Identify variables within structures or institutions that can promote conflict.
  • Describe institutional conflicts in detail.
  • Describe the causes of institutional conflicts.
• Competency 3. Apply appropriate strategies to reduce or resolve conflicts.
  • Analyze how a conflict resolution style can be used to resolve a specific conflict.
  • Explain the advantages and disadvantages of using conflict resolution styles to resolve specific conflicts.
• Competency 6: Communicate effectively in a variety of formats.
  • Communicate effectively through writing.

For this assignment, refer back to the Webuwrite Academy Simulation. This simulation portrays an institution with serious conflicts that are both interpersonal and organizational in nature.

Complete the following:

• Identify at least three conflicts that exist between individuals or groups of individuals at Webuwrite ( http://media.capella.edu/coursemedia/spc3700/webuw…), and describe these conflicts in detail.
• As best you can, describe the causes of the conflicts. Consider both personality factors and variables within the institutional structure that might promote conflict.
• Refer to Hocker and Wilmot’s discussion of conflict resolution styles in Chapter 5. For each of these three conflicts at Webuwrite, choose one conflict resolution style (Obliging, Integrating, Compromising, Avoiding, Dominating) that could be used to resolve this conflict. Describe in detail actions that could be taken that would reflect this conflict resolution style. (This may overlap with this unit’s Organizational Conflict Resolution Styles discussion.)
• For each of these three conflicts, explain the advantages and disadvantages of using the conflict resolution styles you chose.

• Written Communication: Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.
• APA Formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to current APA guidelines.

Chapter 11: Writing Essays Using Sources

Complete the two following research assignments :

Part One:

Before completing this course, students are required to demonstrate knowledge of the fundamentals of research and proper documentation. This week you are to complete a Library Scavenger Hunt assignment. Through this exercise, you will practice your research and documentation skills. You may complete this assignment by using either online or library resources.

To successfully complete the library research assignment, you must answer each of the questions on the Library Scavenger Hunt document (accessible, as an attachment, through the Week Five link above). Your grade on this assignment is based on how you answer each question and how you document your sources.

In addition to the MLA documentation information provided in your textbook, you should also reference the External Links section of your course to access updated information on MLA documentation through the “MLA Formatting and Style Guide.” Refer to this resource, your Lectures – Week Five folder, and your course textbook when responding to the questions within the Library Scavenger Hunt assignment. As mentioned above, your grade on this assignment is also dependent upon how you document your sources (the “MLA Formatting and Style Guide” and the textbook will tell you how to properly cite your sources using MLA documentation guidelines).

The Library Scavenger Hunt assignment is due Monday, April 2, 2018.

Part Two:

This week, you must also complete a Citation Exercise assignment designed to help you practice incorporating research in your student essays for the purpose of supporting your claims. The assignment is accessible, as an attachment, through the Week Five link above. Specific instructions and an example of how to properly complete the Citation Exercise are included in the attachment. Follow the instructions carefully. If you have any questions about this assignment, please do not hesitate to contact me.

The Citation Exercise is also due Monday, April 2, 2018.

Note: Your Week Five grade is based on both of these assignments. Each of these assignments is worth 10 points (for a total of 20 points possible). You will receive one grade only for your Week Five work. Be sure to do both assignments!
