Getting along

Anglo Australians have some okay conflict management skills. We know how to talk things through and we may even be able to do so calmly. But our skills can make us a little too atuned to being wronged and leave us with the expectation that every issue must be sorted out. Chinese Australians, on the other hand, have pretty decent conflict avoidance skills. They can overlook wrongs and bear with other peoples' failings. But they can also bottle stuff up inside until finally they explode in anger. So there's things we can learn from each other.
