4) Other key factors determining conflict
Aside from the determinants that are characteristic of any resource conflict, theorists believe that other factors can also determine the possibility of conflict. These factors have been derived from major wars fought and are also applicable to determining whether conditions present may precipitate a conflict. Interestingly, some of these factors have also been identified in the Guyana-Venezuela conflict.
a) General factors that characterize war
John Stoessinger believes that no country that began a war in this century emerged as the victor. These include Iraq’s invasion of Iran and Kuwait. In all cases, those who initiated war took heavy losses and the nature or the ideology of the government that started the war was not significant to influence the outcome of the conflict. Aggressors basically came out on the losing end of any conflict. Another premise is that wars between small countries with big friends will most times be inconclusive. A small country with a close tie to a big ally can no longer be defeated e.g. the North Koreans were unable to defeat South Korea as long as the United States was willing to support the South. Thus wars between small nations with big friends will be interminable so long as the ally of the weaker side is willing to continue his support. Another premise is that those peace settlements that are negotiated on a basis of equality are much more permanent and durable. In most cases the negotiations
From my knowledge, I believe both parties have to assemble together to find the solution for this rising conflict. Democrats and Republicans have different viewpoints over this problem. Democrats going to say something or tries to take any action over it which Republicans won’t support. However, if Republicans efforts to change laws for gun control, Democrats going to start showing pros and cons over that decision. They are just going to pick each other instead of solving this issue. If they both compromise with each other beliefs, they can able to bring strong ideas to reform, gun laws which going benefit the whole nation. Because of not dealing with unity, our government is unable to solve this matter. If they start playing with all these
In general, conflict theory is to explain the conflict between authority groups and powerless groups through the uneven distribution of power and resources in society (Lai, 2013). It is based entirely in power and how those in power do all they can to hold the majority of the population down and to keep them from gaining power, so as to secure their own position. Conflict theorists all assume that the existing social order is not a product of consensus and mutual benefit but rather a function of power differentials in society. These perspectives recognize that societal resources are limited and contend that opposing groups are in a constant struggle for a greater share of the resources and power that comes with them. As groups struggle to gain
(Doc G) In this case, militarism caused a country to attack two others as they thought they were stronger than the two. This actually leads to more conflict because other countries will jump in to settle the

William stated by fighting, ignoring it
Throughout history, neighbor has been fighting neighbor over land. Some of these wars have gone down in history as the most violent or largest of all wars. The study of war must include all aspects of the struggle, including historical, financial, and political ramifications. Insight into the strategy used by military troops, the rational of the military leaders, how the economy was affected, provide an understanding of society during that time. Wars are studied for years after they cease. Studying the causes, results, the economics, the destruction and reconstruction, and other particulars of war offers insight and, hopefully, the wisdom to prevent future ones.
My external conflict is Ronda, if I do not fulfill my intention the outcome could go one of three ways:
2- a group of 4 people, and they are from 4 different country. They have different culture and values.
The conflict is when Alaska dies and Pudge and his friends are trying to put all the pieces of her death together.
The functionalist perspective is based off of the belief society is a stable, orderly system which is in equilibrium. Each part of society is interrelated, and is relied on in order to maintain the stability of the society as a whole. In other words, it is similar to a biological cell. Every part needs to be working in order for it to work as a whole. For example, families send their children to school, which to fund this school they pay taxes to the state, and they then rely on the school to provide their children with the tools they need to succeed past secondary school, which they then become law-abiding citizens who end up paying their own taxes which then in return goes to support the state. Emile Durkheim, Talcott Parsons, and Robert
The conflict theory approach emphasizes issues of inequality and change in relation to social class, money, race ethnicity and gender. The conflict theory pinpoints the belief that these social classifications are parasitic: only benefiting one group while negatively affecting another. In particular, the social conflict approach focuses on the struggles that lower-class people face in a world where the rich and powerful benefits at their expense. Persons of the lower-class are often disadvantaged, since they are not given a chance to move ahead and are always stuck at the bottom of the social ladder. Upper-class individuals are able to fully educate their children, and hence, their generation will always be rich and powerful. However, a weakness
Conflict theory is the theory that human behavior in social contexts is the result of conflicts between competing groups, as different social groups, be they class-, gender- or race-defined, have unequal power and access to power, yet all groups compete for limited resources. This inevitably gives rise to tension and conflict, albeit often of the subtle variety, as oftentimes the conflicts between groups have been institutionalized in society to such a degree that the conflicts and tensions are such an expected part of society that the conflict, and inequality, itself disappears from public sight, and consciousness. For example, an adherent of a world systems theory of conflict would point to the global competition for resources, particularly the inequality between rich and poor nations struggling to provide the basic necessities of life to their inhabitants, as evidence of global conflict. Conflict theories seek to explain the interactions of groups within society, and assert that social order is preserved involuntarily through the exercise of power one social class holds over another (Lindsey, 2010, 7). The conflict between groups is not always obvious or apparent, so it must be unraveled and examined in order to identify and establish the impact of such conflict on society as a whole, as well as individual members and social groupings.
Conflict permeates throughout all human relationship. It generally derives from the acknowledgment of the individual uniqueness of all people. Ever individual has experienced things that are distinct to their world. Thus, coloring the lenses from which they see. These experiences create differences in opinions, world views, and values. Individuals must learn how to manage these differences when interacting with others. This individual differentiation can be further intensified in an organizational environment. Interactants within an organization are ostensibly working towards the same organizational goal. However, because of differences in organizational roles and duties, many employees find themselves in opposition. It is up those employees to effectively manage the conflict that dissimilarity creates. That said, this article explores an incident were an employee of a company found himself in a conflict situation. The reference article highlights the choices that the employee, Frank, made and the deleterious aftereffects (Liberman, 2012). Frank, an employee of FootWorld has been selected to participate in a cross-functional team, within the company, to develop a go-to-market strategy for a new orthopedic technological device. Failing to articulate his conflicting ideas to the team he begins to vent his frustration to coworkers outside of the team. Eventually word is relayed back to those who Frank criticized. Consequently, Frank feels he has become ostracized from the
To solve the conflict for lack information the team members should be collaborating in the team. Cooperation is dividing the work between the team equal to avoid the conflict. The team should read too much in the book, magazines and internet in order to get a lot of useful information that will help to complete the project without any conflict in the team
This is a research about conflict which should be considered and resolute during a project. Although, six experts are from different background, there are many sufficient methods to deal with different kind of issues during the working. The great mode has used in the research is Thomas-Kilmann’s conflict mode instrument. (Thomas, K. W., & Kilmann, R. H. ,1974). There are five effective approaches are discussed. Each approaches have its positive and negative effects. Also, there are many problems that each expert should consider about themselves which can devote their effort to help finish the project successfully. Achieving mastery through a comprehensive study of all of these methods can finally bring a huge success to the whole project.
Conflict arises from differences. It occurs whenever people disagree over their values, motivations, perceptions, ideas, or desires. If you are out of touch with your feelings or so stressed out that you can only pay attention to a small amount of emotions, you will never be able to understand your own feelings. It is important to know that if you do not understand your own needs you will have a very difficult time communicating with other people.
