How to Resolve Conflicts: The Four Windows

The Johari Window-is a conceptual tool for illustrating the interaction between what is known/unknown to oneself and to others. It has been used in its original form as a basis for classroom exercises since its introduction in 1955. This paper argues that limited attempts to operationalize the model have been relatively unsuccessful An alternative to the classic Window is developed that focuses on four roles crucial to attaining greater openness and personal growthfeedback solicitation, self disclosure, providing feedback, and facilitating disclosure. It is presented as a practical tool for experiential student usage in the domain of interpersonal relations.

Research for All, 2019

Research for All is dedicated to research that involves universities and communities, services or industries working together. The aim of these different groups working together is not only to share existing knowledge held by each of them, but also to build on existing knowledge in ways that groups of similar people struggle to do alone. Our own knowledge is always partial, with gaps and preferences that may differ from the gaps experienced and preferences held by other people. Bringing together people with different perspectives not only allows learning from each other, but also allows learning that is new to everyone involved. A first step is recognizing that each of us has our own way of looking at issues, and we may each be missing out if we do not enquire about how other people see them. Thinking about our different perspectives, blind spots and potential for learning together can be prompted by the visual model of the Johari window (Luft, 1961), named after its creators, Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingram. The Johari window was originally designed to encourage self-awareness and communication about behaviour. Rather than use it to investigate knowledge about ourselves as individuals, we have adapted it to analyse knowledge (and assumptions) about our world accrued from the perspectives open to different groups of people (see Figure 1). Instead of considering what is 'known to self' and 'known to others', which makes the Johari window helpful in psychology, we can consider what is 'known to us' and 'known to others' when thinking about research as a collective activity. Another change to the original model is recognizing that what is seen from multiple standpoints may be different yet equally important. Thus, analysing these differences may start with 'us the researchers' or 'us the community' or 'us the service providers' or 'us the policymakers' or 'us the practising artists' or 'us the volunteers', and so on, depending on the situation.

The article aims to explore the Johari Window model and Christ's finality according toRomans 7;4. This article is limited by its comparison of the Johari windows with the text of Romans7:4. One is a model that is still imperfect and still needs to be perfected, while the work of Christ isfinal and comprehensive on the individual.

This approach is cognitive-based with the ultimate goal of the individual having a better understanding and developing into theexpected individual. However, this approach is not adequate because only the cognitive aspect is thecenter of this model. Playing activities in this approach are changing individual perceptions at thecognitive level. While the gift of God's grace to individuals, both individuals and groups, is Christ.His noble work is precisely able to move the individual state from a state of blindness, hidden andunknown to a state of light, transparency and wholeness. This comparison aims to ensure the primacyof Christ's finality in understanding the counselee who is heavily burdened because of his inability torecognize who he really is.

The dark side of organisations is a phenomenon rarely dealt with in management training programs and spoken of only in whispers in corporate tea rooms. Conspiracies of silence, collusion, 'jobs for the boys', hidden agendas and collusion are just some of the issues that affect the quality of working life of individuals and the effectiveness of organisations. The Johari Window (Lutz, 1969) has been used here in a modified form to describe aspects of the dark side of the organisation and as a way of bringing them to life for would be players in 'corporate games'. top Succumbing to Self-interest "Well, human speech be like pictures, only word pictures. When we speaks we paints a word picture that we wants others to see, but we only paints a part o' the picture what's in our heads. The other part, usually the most important part, we leaves behind because it be the truth, the true picture. So your ears have to have eyes, so they can see how much o' the real picture what be in the head be contained in the words!" (Ikey Solomon talking to Tommo and Hawke, the Potato Factory, 1995)

In a happy household, it based on the principle of mutual responsibility for the rights and obligations of husband and wife. But the reality is that families cannot always be calm and calm, sometimes there are conflicts in it. If the dispute not is resolved, it can lead to divorce. The increase in the number of cases that occur each year makes the writer formulate a problem, namely what is the cause of the conflict between husband and wife and how to resolve the dispute between husband and wife that affects the divorce. By adopting an empirical research approach, namely observing the symptoms of law in society. Causes of husband and wife conflicts such as value conflicts, lack of communication, ineffective leadership, incompatible roles, low productivity, changes in balance, problems not solved overcoming conflict by minimizing divorce making peace with religious observance, and increasing the value of local wisdom "Siri Na Pacce."

Communication is the glue that holds the organization to gether. Communication is the key to success for any successful organization, more so, in these digital times ,effective communication has become one of the most important parameters to define organizational effectiveness. Organizations are build around people and an environment of mutual understanding and trust fosters good inter-personal relationships and can be linked to improved productivity for organization and enhanced performance for individuals.In this regard, the communication model propounded by Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingham-JOHARI WINDOW is a revolutionary theory which provides useful insights for improving interpersonal communication through self awareness and understanding. This interpersonal communication model , if applied properly, not only sensitizes managers to the importance of soft skills but also help them build an environment of creativity and collaborative learning. Thus, this conceptual study has been undertaken with the objective to study the application of JOHARI WINDOW in improving interpersonal communication within organizations. The study also throws light on the link between the interpersonal relationships and managerial effectiveness. Further, this study also brings forth the close connect between group dynamics and interpersonal relations.In this era of digitalization, where individuals and organizations are struggling to cope with the nuances of the virtual world, detailed study and application of JOHARI WINDOW can revitalize and sensationalise the way , organizations and individuals communicate.

When we survey the current theoretical landscape, we find two distinct approaches to the analysis of worldviews. The systemic approach centers on responses to fundamental worldview questions (aka “big questions”); the cognitive-behavioral approach focuses on the processes that give rise to behaviors that express worldviews. If we think of worldviews as subjective representations of the environment, that is, subjective “worlds,” we can think of the first approach as a means of eliciting, documenting, and comparing “worlds-made” and the second as a framework for understanding the nonconscious processes of “world-making.” It is not clear, however, how the two approaches are related. If human answers to the fundamental worldview questions are simply reflective additions to underlying cognitive processes, we would anticipate that worldview conflicts could be resolved relatively easily. If the implicit answers are embedded in nonconscious processes that are presupposed by various ways of life, we would expect that the process of resolving conflicts would be much more complex. An evolutionary approach, which views world-making as an evolved capacity, not only suggests that the latter is the case, but also offers a way to integrate the two approaches. If, as an evolutionary approach would suggest, all mobile organisms must implicitly answer basic, species-appropriate versions of the big questions in order to survive, then we can integrate the two approaches by defining worldviews in terms of simplified big questions that allow for both proximate and ultimate answers. This allows us to embed the systemic framework in an agent-based cognitive-behavioral process grounded in the everyday life and behavior of humans and other animals. The article is divided into three parts. The first demonstrates how we can use simplified versions of the big questions to integrate the systemic and cognitive- behavioral approaches, ground the big questions in ways of life, and shift between systemic and agent-based perspectives. The second offers more refined analytic concepts—modes, scale, and scope—for characterizing this dynamic, multilevel approach to worldviews. The third offers several comparisons to illustrate the benefits of this more- nuanced approach in the context of conflict resolution.

Conflict Resolution: Three Religious Approaches

Christian, Jewish and Muslim approaches to dispute resolution.

This article will use the new interdisciplinary connections between religion and science to improve/widen/embed communication strategies at the time to resolve conflict. It will start by explaining Crowling's strategies in conflict resolution that he takes from the Buddhhist and Taoist perspectives. It will improve the understanding of the importance of these theoriesby exploring The Big Theory of Everything by Campbell.
