In life we will run into conflict that is a no win situation. When two people are arguing that have strong opinions it is very hard to reach a solution.

This is also known as avoiding a situation because you do not want to deal with it.
First off everyone has their own approach that reflects their personality. It is important to understand what yours is. Next, it is important to look at your goals.
