vertical conflict

Examples of vertical conflict in the following topics:

• The Vertical Line Test

  • The vertical line test is used to determine whether a curve on an $xy$-plane is a function
  • If, alternatively, a vertical line intersects the graph no more than once, no matter where the vertical line is placed, then the graph is the graph of a function.
  • The vertical line test demonstrates that a circle is not a function.
  • Thus, it fails the vertical line test and does not represent a function.
  • Any vertical line in the bottom graph passes through only once and hence passes the vertical line test, and thus represents a function.

• Conflict Theory

  • Provide an overview of conflict theory, including its most prominent theorists.

• Issues with the Traditional Political Spectrum

  • Other axes include: the focus of political concern (communitarianism vs. individualism), responses to conflict (conversation vs. force), the role of the church (clericalism vs. anticlericalism), foreign policy (interventionism vs. non-interventionism), and freedom (positive liberty vs. negative liberty).
  • The Nolan Chart, created by libertarian David Nolan, shows what he considers as "economic freedom " (issues like taxation, free trade, and free enterprise) on the horizontal axis and what he considers as "personal freedom" (issues like drug legalization, abortion, and the draft) on the vertical axis.

• The Role of Teams in Organizations

  • In organizations, teams can be constructed both vertically (varying levels of management) and horizontally (across functional disciplines).

• Role Conflict

  • Role conflict describes the conflict between or among the roles corresponding to two or more statuses held by one individual.
  • Role conflict describes a conflict between or among the roles corresponding to two or more statuses fulfilled by one individual.
  • The most obvious example of role conflict is work/family conflict, or the conflict one feels when pulled between familial and professional obligations.
  • In other words, they experience role conflict.
  • Individual personality characteristic conflicts can arise when "aspects of an individual's personality are in conflict with other aspects of that same individual's personality. "

• Styles of Interpersonal Conflict

  • Team conflict is a state of discord between individuals that work together.
  • Conflict is a feature common to social life.
  • Substantive conflicts deal with aspects of a team's work.
  • Other substantive conflicts involve how team members work together.
  • Explain the distinction between substantive and affective conflicts and between intra- and inter-organizational conflict

• Matrix Structure

  • This increase in complexity can result in a higher manager-to-worker ratio, which can in turn increase costs or lead to conflicting employee loyalties.
  • Blurred authority in a matrix structure can result in reduced agility in decision making and conflict resolution.
  • Product lines are managed horizontally and functions are managed vertically.

• Constructive Team Conflict

  • Teams may use conflict as a strategy for continuous improvement and learning.
  • Conflict can uncover barriers to collaboration that changes in behavior can remove.
  • Team members and others can follow a few guidelines for encouraging constructive conflict.
  • This helps people view conflict as acceptable and can thus free them to speak up.
  • Explain how conflict can be used as a strategy for improving team performance

• Adding and Subtracting Vectors Using Components

  • Previously, we saw that vectors can be expressed in terms of their horizontal and vertical components .
  • This can be seen by adding the horizontal components of the two vectors ($4+4$) and the two vertical components ($3+3$).
  • These additions give a new vector with a horizontal component of 8 ($4+4$) and a vertical component of 6 ($3+3$).
  • To find the resultant vector, simply place the tail of the vertical component at the head (arrow side) of the horizontal component and then draw a line from the origin to the head of the vertical component.
  • It can be decomposed into a horizontal part and a vertical part as shown.

• Intergenerational Conflict

  • Intergenerational conflict refers to the conflict between older and younger generations as they compete for jobs and resources.
  • Intergenerational conflict plays a key role in the conflict perspective of aging.
  • The conflict perspective of aging is a strand of general sociological conflict theory, which is the theory that sees conflict as a normal aspect of social life rather than as an abnormal occurrence.
  • The conflict perspective of aging thus emphasizes competition between generations.
  • The conflict perspective of aging is not solely about resource acquisition.
