CONFLICT PROGRAM PROPOSAL2
Introduction.
While living in a multicultural country, it cannot be expected that a particular workplace
will be formed of employees belonging to a single cultural background. Multi - cultural and
multi - ethnic communities form a significant portion of the workforce of any major
organization. That is the same forte based on which a gamut of discriminatory aspects come to
light (Van Laer & Janssens, 2011). This conflict program proposal aims to elaborate this aspect
of workplace divide. Furthermore, it focusses on intervention methods based on cultural
inclusion as a prime objective in order to bring the issue to a close. The proposal looks at the
workplace division based on ethnicity and cultural nuances, present in a local copywriting and
advertisement organization in my neighborhood. The program incorporates the concepts of
conflict management and resolution, and while looking at the specific social psychological
principles of groupthink, conformity, stereotype, prejudice and bias, aims to bring the conflict to
a close through group influence and attribution. This paper presents a detailed nature of the
conflict as well as the proposed program.
Nature of the conflict.
The local advertising and copywriting company employs a wide variety of people for
both full time and freelance writing jobs. A significant portion of its workforce is formed of
people from a few different cultural backgrounds. This conflict is focused on a group of three
people in the office who I would like to name as John, Mary and Bill. John is 33, of Caucasian
descent and has lived in the United States for three generations. His grandfather was in the Navy
and his older brother is a Ranger. Mary, 29, migrated with her family from Australia five years
