2). Briefly outline an example of collaborative conflict resolution that you have engaged in. Contrast that with competitive conflict. Which was more satisfying to you? To the other party?

I can't say that I 100% understand this question but I can say that I went through a style of accommodation that could contrast into a competitive conflict. I once offered all the information I had to my senior instructor in hopes of having my Wing Chun School gain understanding in who I am, why I'm there, and what I'm willing to do for the school. It turned out that my senior instructor completely misinterpreted 80% of the things I said as if I was a bad guy just trying to embezzle in the school's reputation and funds. In a competitive contrast I assume he was only doing it so I would not become a future threat to him so he used my information to try and have me expelled from further attendance to the school. I had no real gain in this situation, I only learned that the man was a jerk. As for which was more satisfying to me I cannot really say. But I'm sure my senior instructor was satisfied only because he was able to show off his knowledge of something once again, but this time in a horrible context. I'm not quite sure if this is the answer to the question but hey I tried my best trying to answer it.
