Modeling Conflict
Outside of death and major illness, two of my greatest fears have always been conflict and public speaking. It’s taken me a long time to come to the understanding that conflict doesn’t always have to be unpleasant. Conflict doesn’t necessarily mean that you have done something wrong. It doesn’t mean that there has to be a winner and a loser. It doesn’t mean that blood (psychic or otherwise) will be drawn in the confrontation. Still, learning the form of conflict is something that I have struggled with for what seems like an eternity.

Orthodox Christmas: Conflicts and celebrations
In the Western world we often neglect that there is a vibrant church in the East. In 1954 AD the Eastern and Western churches separated. One book reviewed on BookIdeas.com advanced that Christianity was unified until the Reformation--betraying a lack of knowledge of this schism on the author's part. Anyway, today sections of this Eastern Orthodox Church celebrate Christmas. I thought I would share with you this explanation of the Orthodox traditions and how groups are trying to re-identify with their spiritual past. Many thanks to Brian J Požun for providing this insight.

Tenant-Landlord Conflict: Goffman’s Interaction Ritual Applied (I of III)
Thanks to a recent neighborhood drama that unfolded right before my eyes, I had the opportunity to view up close what anthropologist and sociologist Erving Goffman would have called a character contest between a local tenant and landlord. As Goffman notes in his essay, Where the action is, the character contest is “a special kind of moral game” (1967, p. 240) because it is concerned with discrediting the adversary while at the same time gathering evidence in support of one’s own strength or goodness of character.

Tenant-Landlord Conflict: Goffman’s Interaction Ritual Applied (II of III)
Goffman observes that “to establish an individual in a subordinate status, an aggressor may coerce him into openly performing an undignified obeisance or service on the assumption that once he allows himself to give in he can (and he knows he can) be relied upon henceforth to accede to any demand made of him.” (p. 255). Since she had not yet succeeded in eliciting a satisfying display of subservience from him, Wendy continued to push the landlord further, first by demanding that he recognize the property to be of diminished quality and then by requesting that he demonstrate this fact to another witness: his brother, the owner of the building.

Tenant-Landlord Conflict: Goffman’s Interaction Ritual Applied (III of III)
At that point Wendy brought up the issue of rent abatement – Mr. Jarlson had verbally agreed to give her the last month’s rent free because of building conditions. For the first time, he turned his eyes on Wendy and opened them as if in surprise and outrage. Mr. Jarlson denied that he had ever made this offer and said that this would have been something that he would have offered to people who moved out early. Wendy reiterated that the agreement was not contingent on early move out, but due to reduced security, cleanliness, utilities, and inconvenience since they took over ownership. Again, he denied that this was the case.
