6) De-emphasis - This is a type of bargaining that emphasizes the areas of agreement. (Townsley, 2006)
Teams require some conflict in order to effectively operate and cooperative conflict has the potential to "contribute to effective problem solving and decision making by motivating people to examine a problem." (Townsley, 2006) the work of Stulberg (1987) states that there are common patterns to all conflict which he calls the Five-P's of Conflict Management as follows:
1) Perceptions;
2) Problems;
3) Processes;
4) Principles; and 5) Practices. (Stulberg, 1987)
Perceptions involve individual associated conflict with negative responses including anger, tension, anxiety and even fear. Problems relate to the time, money and equipment needed in resolving the conflict. Processes of solving a conflict may vary and may include suppression of the conflict, fighting the conflict, litigation or mediation of the conflict. Principles refer to how priorities are determined and Practices refers to "power, self-interest, and unique situations...relating to why people resolve disputes the way they do." (Stuhlberg, 1987) Conflict may be addressed through:
1) Diagnosis;
2) Initiation;
3) Listening; and 4) Problem-solving. (Stuhlberg, 1987)
The work of Heathfield entitled: "Personal Courage and Conflict Resolution at Work" states that unresolved conflict "tends to escalate." (2008) Many individuals are "afraid of conflict resolution...[and]...fell threatened by conflict resolution..." (Heathfield, 2008) Conflict resolution is stated by Heathfield to:
1) cause...
(Heathfield, 2008)

There are many proposed methods for dealing with conflict resolution among teams within the organization however, it appears from the research conducted in this study that the primary factor in conflict resolution is the factor of communication and careful listening. Conflict resolution is effective in resolving disputes and differences among members of a team.

Conflict Resolution in the Middle East History of the ARAB-ISRAELI conflict The Palestinian Arab and Jews rivalry is of recent origin that started on the eve of 20th century.
