Lord of the Flies

Person vs. Person conflict
One experience in my life where i was faced with a person vs. person conflict, was back in elementary school. In grade six, we celebrated our annual science fair. Divided into groups of four, we were each given the task to choose one person to represent the leader of the group. Out of the whole group of four, only one young girl and myself had the interest of being the leader. Her mind was set for being the leader and she wasn't going to step down, little did she know, i wanted it just as bad. In elementary school, this was very important to us. It was because our family and friends were going to be there and we both dedicated so much time and effort into our science project.
The steps that we took to resolve this conflict was no help. We started to argue and it didn't get anywhere but contribute chaos. Finally, we sat down and came to the decisions of equally sharing the role as the leader, since we did both put the same amount of hard work. Coming to that conclusion, the arguing went away and all the chaos disappeared as well.
Other things we could have done to prevent the conflict, was had a group vote like what the boys did on the island to Ralph and Jack, in the book Lord of the Flies. It not only held order, and good communication, but it also prevent the chaos.
Allowing this conflict to escalate, could have affected everyone in our group. It could of also risked our performance at the science fair because good communication is what is truly needed.
