Conflicts of Women

In Wednesdays class, we talked a lot about aggression and Burton's model of conflict.  We learned there are 3 pieces to the conflict puzzle: issues, attributes, and behaviors all of which feed and build off each other. If a woman was driven by her career then decided to stat a family, she would encounter some MAJOR conflicts within her job and at home. Her boss could persuade her to rethink her decision and her husband could be pushing for having children.  The woman is stuck in the middle and her arms are being pulled in opposite directions and she has to decide because in the business world its all about making choices (especially for women). You cannot have your cake and eat it too. It's messed up if I say so my self.  Women have to conform themselves into men once they hit the CEO, Director, President, Vice President position because of the expectations set upon us. We can't have children, must work late nights, hardly ever see our husbands, get calls from coworkers and such throughout all hours of the day, we would miss all the soccer, basketball, football and baseball games of our children and best of all.... WORK COMES FIRST. Fair... no not really.
