Conflict is not all negative. Conflict can motivate and lead to innovation. It also builds character.

I like this response to the brewing conflict:

"I'm sorry I don't understand
Where all of this is coming from,
I thought that we were fine.
Your head is running wild again,
My dear we still have everything
And it's all in your mind."
- From the song 'Just Give Me A Reason' by Pink and Nate Ruess

Do you believe angry people could deal with conflict effectively?
In the first clip, Madea, known as an angry person who is always in trouble, wanted to fight. She even destroyed the sofa. In the second, she was less confrontational and did not beat on Dr. Phil like she usually does. Do you think she handled the interview with Dr. Phil well?
