We live in a very complex and culturally diverse society. When we bring individuals together from diverse backgrounds in a work environment conflict can arise when expectations are not realized or met.

Describe the steps taken to resolve the conflict or, if it is an ongoing conflict, propose steps to resolve the conflict.
Describe a minimum of three conflict outcomes that could reasonably occur as a result of the conflict resolution. Support your reasoning for each possible outcome.
