GUIDE QUESTION : How can we work together to make these scenarios a reality

ANALYTICAL PAPER

INTRODUCTION:

After hearing news of school violence, it's natural for students to worry about whether something
like this may someday happen to them or their friends.

When a tragedy like this happens, it's normal to feel sad and anxious. It's natural to want to make
sense of the situation. But the question is how can we work together as community, workmates,
as a classmate and as human to build a good relationship with others, are there specific things
that we can do to build a good rapport to other people, or simply to build a trust with each other,
violence can be stop, they say prevention is better than cure, so instead of doing what is not right
to others why not strengthen a good relationship with them.

Sha
BODY:
Lets try to give answers in each scenarios on how can we work together to make these things into
reality:
In school:
Why Does School Violence Happen?

School violence isn't easy to understand. There is no single reason why students become violent.
Some are just following behavior they've seen at home, on the streets, or in video games, movies,
or TV. Some are dealing with mental health problems. Some people who turn violent have been
bullied. They may feel isolated and rejected by their peers. These are only a few of the reasons
why a person may turn violent.
But there's one thing experts agree on. Having access to guns or other weapons makes it easier
for some people to lash out against the things or people they don't like.

What Can I Do?

Someone on the verge of violence may show warning signs. These can include:

 playing with weapons of any kind

 talking about violence or weapons
 talking a lot about violent movies or violent games
 bullying or making threats
 cruelty to pets or other animals

If you see signs like these, tell a teacher, parent, or school counselor. A student who is showing
signs like these may need help and support. And safety at school is up to everyone.

If you have concerns about safety at school, reach out to an adult who will listen and help. Many
schools have set up ways to report bullying or signs of violence anonymously. Students can share
concerns without giving their name. Find out if your school has something like this. If they don't,
ask if they can set it up.

What Else Can I Do?

Violence is an issue that many students care deeply about. They care about reducing violence at
schools, in neighborhoods, in relationships, and in families. Many have personal stories about
how violence has touched their own lives.

Some schools have programs that bring students together to share their experiences — and to
talk about solutions.

One program, Do the Write Thing, brings students together with a teacher to talk, write, and do
things to create positive change. If you think a program like this could be a good fit for your
school, talk with a teacher who might be a good mentor. Together, you can find out more.
IN A WORKPLACE:
Workplace violence can be an everyday reality in some professions. We have some tips to spot
the red flags, reduce risk and deal with it when it flares up.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) defines workplace violence as: "Any incident in which a
person is abused, threatened or assaulted in the circumstances relating to their work". This can
include verbal abuse or threats as well as physical attacks.

Tackling violence & aggression at work

Who is most at risk?

 In the US, many workers report having been victims of workplace violence each year, according
to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

Research has identified several factors that may increase the risk of violence for some workers at
certain worksites.

Risk Factors
 Exchanging money with the public

 Working with unstable people

 Working alone or in isolated areas

 Providing services and care

 Working where alcohol is served

 Time of day and location of work (e.g. night or high crime areas)

Among the professions that were higher at risk were delivery drivers, healthcare professionals,
public service workers, customer service agents, law enforcement personnel and those who work
alone or in small groups.

The LGBT Britain Work Report shows that almost one in five LGBT employees has been the
target of negative conduct from work colleagues. Furthermore, one in eight trans people were
physically attacked by customers or colleagues in 2018.

Impact of workplace violence on businesses

Workplace violence can impact businesses in many ways, including staff turnover, damage to
your reputation and your staff's health and safety.

Violence and abuse can lead to work-related stress, which can have serious and long-term
impacts on physical and mental health. Each case of stress-related ill health leads to an average
of 31 working days lost, which has major financial implications for businesses.

Top tips for tackling workplace violence

1. Be aware of potential flashpoints

Certain situations may trigger violence or aggressive outbursts - such as a delay or hold-up,
communicating a difficult or negative decision (turning someone's application down), stress
(having no choice), frustration (a lack of information), resentment (a perception of no rights),
and so on.

2. Act quickly to defuse the situation

Don't ignore trigger points, or things may deteriorate further. Instead, step up to calm things
down, for example, by apologising for any delay or providing information.
3. Avoid situations that make you more vulnerable

Follow company rules on accompanied visits or meet in a public place if you visit vulnerable
people with a history of violence. And try not to travel, carry cash or medication or handle
complaints alone.

4. Familiarise yourself with security systems & measures

Be sure you know the security systems in place at your place of work. This includes security
screens, alarms, emergency codes or codewords, etc. - so you know what to do to protect
yourself.

5. Use de-escalation techniques

These techniques will stop the incidents from getting worse. For example, talk in a low, calm
voice. This technique encourages the aggressor to focus on the facts (being rational stops you
from being too emotional). Use positive body language and - if it's safe to do so - stop them
'playing to a crowd' by going somewhere more private.

6. Use awareness posters to set ground rules

Have a zero-tolerance approach and warn people upfront via posters that abusive and violent
behaviour is unacceptable and is not tolerated.

7. If you are subject to violence at work, tell your manager

It's not usually your fault, so don't be embarrassed to speak out. Share your experiences so your
colleagues can protect themselves too!

CONCLUSION:
Workplace and classmates relationships are personal relationships between people who work and
studies together. Having employees and students who enjoy positive relationships with each
other isn't only beneficial for the employees and students morale and well-being, but also for the
organization as a whole. Besides friendships between coworkers, classmates, workplace
relationships can also have romantic implications or occur between family members who work
for the same company.

RECOMMENDATION:
Building good relationships with colleagues is essential for thriving in your job. The people you
work with can significantly impact your job satisfaction, productivity, and overall success. When
you have a good relationship with your colleagues, you are more likely to enjoy your work and
be more productive. This article will explore building a good relationship with colleagues to
thrive in your job. Here are some tips on how to build a good relationship with your colleagues.

Communication is Key
Effective communication is the cornerstone of building good relationships with colleagues. You
need to be open, honest, and transparent in your communication. Listen carefully to what your
colleagues have to say, and respond thoughtfully. Avoid gossiping or speaking negatively about
colleagues, and try to find common ground. If you have concerns or issues, bring them up
directly with the person involved rather than talking to others about them.

It’s not enough to listen – you need to be able to express yourself clearly and concisely. Use
humor or lightheartedness to keep the conversation positive and upbeat when appropriate. If
disagreements arise, try using difficult conversation techniques such as “I” statements or active
listening skills to ensure everybody feels heard and respected.

Build Trust
Trust is an essential component of a good relationship. You need to be reliable, honest, and
consistent in your interactions with colleagues. Keep your promises, follow through on
commitments, and be accountable for your actions.

Avoid overpromising or underdelivering, and admit mistakes when they happen. When you build
trust with your colleagues, they are more likely to trust and rely on you.

Be Respectful
Respect is crucial in building good relationships with colleagues. You need to be respectful of
their time, opinions, and boundaries. Avoid interrupting, speaking over, or dismissing your
colleagues.

It may be easy to get frustrated or argue when someone disagrees with you, but this won't do
anything to help the relationship between you two. Listen carefully and consider their point of
view before responding; this way, they'll feel heard while having an opportunity to understand
and appreciate your perspective.

Be mindful of cultural differences and avoid making assumptions or stereotypes. Treat your
colleagues with kindness and professionalism; you will be more likely to earn their respect.

Collaborate
Collaboration is essential for building good relationships with colleagues. You need to be willing
to work together, share ideas, and support each other's efforts. Avoid being territorial or
competitive; instead, focus on how you can help each other succeed.

Celebrate each other's achievements, and be generous with praise and recognition. When you
collaborate effectively, you can achieve more together than alone.

Be Empathetic
Another key element for successful relationships between co-workers is empathy. Empathy is
essential in building good relationships with colleagues. You need to understand and appreciate
their perspectives, experiences, and feelings. Avoid being dismissive or insensitive; instead, try
to see things from their point of view.

Show compassion and understanding, and be willing to lend a listening ear or a helping hand
when needed. When you are empathetic, you can build deeper connections with your colleagues
and create a more supportive work environment.

Try to put yourself in their shoes, understanding their feelings and opinions regardless of
whether you agree. This will help build trust between both parties so that you can work more
effectively together regarding project collaboration.

Have a Positive Attitude

A positive attitude can go a long way in building good relationships with colleagues. You need
to be optimistic, enthusiastic, and supportive. Avoid being negative or critical; focus on finding
solutions and opportunities.

Be proactive and solution-oriented, and look for ways to improve the work environment and help
your colleagues succeed. A positive attitude can inspire and motivate others and create a more
positive work culture.

Foster a Sense of Community

Fostering a sense of community is essential for building good relationships with colleagues. You
must create a supportive and inclusive work environment where everyone feels valued and
respected. Encourage social interaction and team-building activities, and find ways to celebrate
diversity and promote a sense of belonging. You can create a more positive and cohesive team
culture when you foster a sense of community.

Recognise your colleagues' successes and appreciate their hard work. Genuine compliments go a
long way in strengthening relationships at work, especially when you’ve all been working on a
project together. Showing you care about their efforts will make them feel valued and
appreciated– key ingredients for healthy co-worker relationships.

Practice Active Listening

Active listening involves listening to what others are saying and understanding their perspective.
It's an essential skill to build a good relationship with your colleagues. When your colleagues
feel heard and understood, they are more likely to trust you and share their thoughts and ideas.

To practice active listening, give your full attention to the speaker, ask clarifying questions, and
summarise their main points.

Respect Differences and Diversity

In a diverse workplace, respecting differences in opinions, beliefs, and cultures is essential.
Avoid making assumptions or stereotyping your colleagues. Instead, ask questions and seek to
understand their perspectives.

Be respectful of their boundaries and avoid discriminatory behavior. When you respect your
colleagues, you'll gain their trust and build a positive relationship with them.

Acknowledge and Appreciate

Acknowledging and appreciating your colleagues' hard work and achievements can go a long
way in building a good relationship with them. Recognize their contributions and express your
gratitude for their efforts. You can do this through verbal communication, written notes, or small
gestures such as buying them coffee or lunch.

When you show appreciation, your colleagues feel valued and motivated to do their best work.

Be Professional and Reliable

Being professional and reliable is crucial for building trust and respect with your colleagues.
Keep your commitments, follow through on your tasks, and meet deadlines. Avoid gossiping or
spreading rumors about your colleagues and be mindful of your tone and body language.

When you're professional and reliable, your colleagues will view you as a trustworthy and
dependable team member.
