  • Essay / Interpersonal Conflict in Cinema - 688

    Interpersonal Conflict in CinemaThe interpersonal conflict in this film is the same as in most of our daily lifestyles as humans. There are many times in life where the things people say are taken out of context and/or out of control and you wish you could play them as if they were never said. There were so many conflicts in this movie that I couldn't pick just one. After watching this awesome and funny movie, I learned that I need to pay attention to what is being said. It is also said to avoid escalating any incident you may have in an active relationship with a loved one or even just a good friend. When handling interpersonal conflict at any stage of a relationship, handle yourself the same way you want to be treated. Early in the relationship, make sure you ask lots of questions, but make sure they are the right questions to ask and keep family questions to a minimum until later in the relationship. No relationship is perfect, but with the correct interpretation of romance, all conflicts can be handled accordingly. The first incident in the movie “Hitch” that I noticed regarding interpersonal conflicts was that I observed the lady discover that the man she is dating was known as the relationship expert “Hitch”. Although the question of what he did for a living was never brought up (to my knowledge), if the right questions had been asked and answered, this information would have come up in the conversation. If trust and accurate information had been conveyed to the parties involved, this incident could have been avoided. Then she brought this information up during the conflict to let him know that she knew what his real job was. Another incident that caught my attention but...... middle of paper...... an ending that happens in a relationship but he couldn't take that same advice and apply it to his own relationship. There are a lot of things right now that could have been done differently, but in the heat of the moment, people tend to say whatever comes to them and express it with the words coming out of their mouth, especially s 'they are hurtful. Once things have calmed down, you want to take back what was said and by then it's already too late. When handling interpersonal conflict at any stage of a relationship, be respectful and handle yourself in the way you want to be treated. ReferencesMordaunt, W., Tadross, M.
