Conflict resolution was a great topic for me learn because after hearing the lecture, I realized I am usually guilty of focusing on the content, not the process.  The lecture was mostly focused on couples, but most of what Professor Hollist spoke about could be applied to relationships with friends, family, and many other people.  One thing that really made me think about was the role homeostasis plays in fights.  Once people establish the kind of fighting they use, that type of fighting will usually take place every time people fight.  For example, a couple might yell at each other, name call, or ignore each other.  It doesn't matter the style of fight, but its interesting that most couples will always fight the same way.  I wonder how hard it is to change the style of fights after so long?  The graph that was put on the projector came as a surprise for me, but it makes sense.  Every couple fights once in awhile and the intensity of fighting and the number of fights is not relevant AT ALL!
