22、 the students always arrive at the appointed hour. Classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States, but also end at the scheduled time.

29、ple, when you and your colleagues try to select the best possible alternative to a problem. However, much more attention is given to the negative aspects of conflict.Conflict occurs when we fear the unknown.

31、ree stages. Stage one is the day-to-day irritations that require minimal coping strategies. Stage one conflict is real but low in intensity.
