Summary

Is it ever worth fighting about? With? For? What is 'it,' you ask? It is any number of resources-most commonly time, money, or material possessions. And whether or not the resource is worth fighting with someone about depends on your personality, perception, and a number of other factors. As for if an issue is worth fighting for, that depends on the goal you want to accomplish. Dr. Mac McCrory, drawing from three decades of teaching dispute-resolution courses and experience with personal conflicts both large and small, offers practical, firsthand advice to students and anyone else who needs to learn some effective conflict-management techniques. So next time someone pushes your buttons, try to Fight the Good Fight before you react negatively.
