Assessment Instructions
Suppose you have been asked to write an article on interpersonal conflict for a local organization with which you are affiliated.

Preparation
Search the Capella library and the Internet for scholarly, professional, or other appropriate resources that address the topic of interpersonal conflict. Keep in mind that Wikipedia is not considered an appropriate resource. You will need at least 2 resources to support your work in this assessment.

. What does conflict mean to you?
. How does that compare with how others define conflict?

· Explain how the communication behaviors affect interpersonal relationships. Be sure to consider communication behaviors in a variety of situations.
· Explain how differences in gender, age, culture, race, and so on can contribute to interpersonal conflict.
· Recommend at least one strategy that can be used to resolve interpersonal conflict.
Because this is an article for publication, format your assessment following APA guidelines.
