Conflict Paper
Life teaches many things. As we get older, we realize there are constants in life that cannot be avoided. For example, we will most likely never be able to avoid stress, just as life cannot be lived without an encounter with conflict. Conflict seems to be a topic that is not discussed these days. In fact, we spend most of our time trying to avoid conflict. Given that we all have different sets of values, morals, and belief systems, it is inevitable that there will be conflict with some individuals at some point in our lives.

The paramedics from the ambulance did not offer any pain control medications to me either and referred my incident to the nurse as a reckless driving motorcycle accident. Even at this point I cared about nothing but a glass of water. The pain of my shattered wrist, fractured hip and all my skin missing from the right side of my body was nothing compared to the urge and thirst I had for water to make me feel better. My mouth was very dry and filled with dirt and debris from the tumbling on the concrete road. I continued to ask the
