I can't tell how to write the essay because unfortunately, we cannot do your homework for you.
However, without bragging, I do happen to be pretty good when it comes to essay writing so I'll give you a few tips.
Before you even begin writing the essay, make a plan. It doesn't have to be detailed, just set out how you're going to write your essay. On your plan you should inclde your introduction, three or four main points (more or less depending on how much information you need to include) and a conclusion. For each point, briefly note down the main things you need to include. Having a plan will ensure that you know what you're doing and don't end up rambling or going off the point. Before you start writing your essay, read through your plan and ensure that it flows correctly. Make sure that your points make sense when put together and don't jump dramatically between topics.
Starting your essay with an introduction is very important. It doesn't need to be really long or detailed, just lay out what you're going to do in your essay. For example, if you were to write an essay about dance, your introduction could start something like this: 'Dance has been a feature in almost all cultures across the world since the dawn of time...' You should then go on to explain what your essay is about etc.
If the title of your essay is a question, it is always good to try and briefly answer it in your introduction and stating your personal opinion if necessary.
Good ways to start off your first paragraph after your introduction are 'First and most importantly...', 'Primarily...', 'First and foremost...' etc. As your essay is about fighting, I would suggest that your first point is 'avoiding a fight'. These can also be used for the steps of the fight. Other sentence starters useful to this section could be 'Now, one would need to...', 'Secondly...', 'Next, one could...' etc.
The same techniques can also be used for your 'steps to resolve it' section. I think you'll find that once you've finished your first point, you'll find that the rest comes alot easier to you.
An essay should always be ended by a conclusion. In your conclusion it is good to summarise the points in your essay, say what you have discovered, state your personal opinion if necessary and answer any questions that arose in the title or the content.
Once you've written your essay, read through it and correct any mistakes you may have made when writing it. You may find it helpful to have a friend read it in case there are any mistakes you may not have noticed. Your teacher may also be able to have a look at it before you officially hand it in, and give you some pointers if necessary.
Good luck.
