a. "the conflicting parties are interdependent,

b. they have the perception that they seek incompatible goals or outcomes or they favor incompatible means to the same ends,

c. the perceived incompatibility has the potential to adversely affect the relationship if not addressed, and

d. there is a sense of urgency about the need to resolve the difference"

3. What is the theory and what is the conflict you have chosen? Using the theory of conflict, explain what is really the cause of the conflict? How could or should one resolve the conflict?
