Conflict- negative or positive?

Conflict whether personal or within a business or other organization is typically seen as negative.  With conflict typically there is two people who think they are each right, because everyone is right in their own eyes. I think conflict is a good thing.  Conflict to me says "we have an issue that needs to be solved.  It's okay that we disagree but after the disagreement lets come to a level of understanding and learning from one another.  Conflict should be a productive force that brings people or organizations together, growing and learning from each other.  

Conflict is seen as negative because people generally do not communicate with each other to avoid a possible conflict.  Others see it as negative because it always bring out the worst in people.  People tend to get defensive when conflict arises and overlook the issue at hand while trying to make themselves look good.  In order to view conflict in a positive manner, people need to come to the realization that they are not always nor do they always need to be right.  Sometimes there is no wrong or right in a crisis.  When learning starts to take place then and only then will conflict begin to take on a more positive view.
