I selected Intrapersonal conflict ..

[Binte Ahmed]

In my opinion Hasan is facing intrapersonal conflict ..

[Binte Ahmed]

Interpersonal conflict refers to a conflict between two individuals. This occurs typically due to how people are different from one another. We have varied personalities which usually results to incompatible choices and opinions. Apparently, it is a natural occurrence which can eventually help in personal growth or developing your relationships with others. In addition, coming up with adjustments is necessary for managing this type of conflict. However, when interpersonal conflict gets too destructive, calling in a mediator would help so as to have it resolved.
Intrapersonal conflict occurs within an individual. The experience takes place in the person’s mind. Hence, it is a type of conflict that is psychological involving the individual’s thoughts, values, principles and emotions. Interpersonal conflict may come in different scales, from the simpler mundane ones like deciding whether or not to go organic for lunch to ones that can affect major decisions such as choosing a career path. Furthermore, this type of conflict can be quite difficult to handle if you find it hard to decipher your inner struggles. It leads to restlessness and uneasiness, or can even cause depression. In such occasions, it would be best to seek a way to let go of the anxiety through communicating with other people. Eventually, when you find yourself out of the situation, you can become more empowered as a person. Thus, the experience evoked a positive change which will help you in your own personal growth.

 It is intrapersonal conflict ..which is relates to inner situation of Mr Hassan.

[Binte Ahmed]

Intrapersonal is a conflict within your own self. For example, debating on whether you should go to that awesome party or study for the big test tomorrow.

 
Interpersonal is a conflict between two, or more, people. For example, two people debating over whether the baseball player was out or safe at the base.

Solution: 

you can get the idea from this

 

Q2. Do you agree interpersonal or intrapersonal conflicts strengthen the relationships? Why or why not?

I agree on that conflicts do not always have to be destructive. In fact, in many instances, Interpersonal or intrapersonal conflicts are incentives that cause us to take action to accomplish a particular goal.  Getting issues out in the open and on the table allows teams to evaluate an issue with more complete information and, in the end, to make a better decision.

Although it is often assumed that people avoid conflict, many people actually enjoy conflict to a certain degree because it can be the stimulus for new thinking. Considering a different point of view which represents conflict can open up new possibilities and help to generate new ideas that might otherwise have not been considered.

Encourage constructive conflict across the teams in your organization.  They will enhance their performance. Conflicts help to make better decisions, to get better information, to have better choices, to encourage collaboration and to increase understanding. When a conflict develops and the result lead to everyone getting involved, it is a good conflict. Conflicts can be good for organizations because it encourages open mindedness that many organizations fall prey to. Working toward collaboration is desired in many companies and if the process involves conflict to get there, so be it.
