Step 1. Hunt for definitions. Research the topics of conflict between genders and conflict resolution by gender. Write a one-paragraph summary of your research, focusing on the question, how does gender impact conflict resolution styles? Step 2: Answer the following questions, giving examples of conflict, conflict resolution, and the role of gender in both conflict and conflict resolution from your own experiences in your personal life and professional life. In the movie clip, which conflict resolution style does Brooke exhibit? Which style does Gary exhibit? What role does gender play, if any, in the different ways Gary and Brooke handle conflict? How could each character change their communication to resolve the conflict? Put yourself in the shoes of each character. How would you react to your partner's method of dealing with the conflict?
