Types of Conflict

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

1a. Who was involved in the conflict? What was the relationship between the participants prior to the conflict? Did it appear as if the relationship between the participants had any impact on how either person responded to the conflict?

For centuries, violence has been the go to way to settle conflicts, but it has also been very controversial throughout the years. While some say war is important in order to maintain our freedom, it is actually a very unnecessary and destructive way of settling conflicts because it kills so many innocent people and it hardly ever accomplishes anything for such a hefty price.

There are five different types of conflicts that one could go through, and they are: Person vs. Person, Person vs. Society, Person vs. God/Fate/ Destiny, Person vs. Self, and Person vs. Nature or Technology. Person vs. Person is where one character is in an opposition with another character and an example of this is Creed where Adonis Creed fights Ricky Conlan so Adonis can be the heavyweight champion. Person vs. Society where one is opposed to the society that he/she lives in or its laws, so the example of this would be The Dark Knight Rises when Batman is trying to help the people of Gotham and the cops are trying to arrest him. The next is Person vs. God/Fate/Destiny where a character is in opposition of forces that are not of this world, and this is an example of The Avengers: Age of Ultron where the Avengers are fighting against Ultron who is not of this world. Next is Person vs. Self where there is an internal struggle with the character, and this can be shown in Gone with the Wind when Scarlett is trying to make the one man she loves to get her to love her back. The last is Person vs. Nature or Technology which is where a character is up against the harsh forces of nature or against a type machine or technology, and this can be shown in Big Miracle, where Adam Carlson and Rachel Kramer try to fight the harsh winter in Alaska to save a family of Gray Whales. There are a few of those conflicts going on in the book Fahrenheit 451 that the characters have to fight

Throughout much of the history of civilizations, states have declared war for land, valuables, and resources. In the course of the mid-20th century and the 21st century, ascendant super powers have invaded foreign lands for resources such as oil, and weapons companies have profited from the ongoing cycle of war these super powers promote. The populations of these states have been fed lies vis-à-vis the media; propagandizing these “rogue nations” and promoting an ‘Us vs. Them’ mentality, to garner support for these armed conflicts. War is our primordial instinct, as humans are territorial and aggressive. That is our nature, and by looking at events in our history, one may see that war appears to be timeless and inevitable.

4 possible sources of conflict could be the individual themselves, family or friends, colleagues or policies.

The second conflict problem is that the senior members on the new team have been sloughing off the paper work and giving it to the new guys. At first it was not an issue because we could keep up with the workload, but now we are starting to fall behind on top of all these calls. Now the problem is the sergeant is coming down on us because we can not keep up with the workload, and he is suggesting we should do over time without pay to catch up.

Conflict theorists focus on the conflict of education whereas, a functionalist focuses on the positive aspects of education. I believe conflict theorists sees the purpose of education as preserving social inequality. Conflict theorists also believe is conserving the power of those who dominate society. On the other hand, a functionalist sees education as serving a beneficial role. Functionalists believe that schooling is more meritocratic than it once was, educational systems are providing more vocational courses, and schools are performing positive functions for most children. One commonality between these two perspectives is that they both examine the same functions. The one important difference is their views on the education system.

This conflict is healthy for their relationship, but there were a lot of behaviors that are described in the unproductive conflict stages being displayed. The kitchen-sinking on the behalf on my friend was not a wise decision on his part. The cross-complaining and also the assumption of mind reading by his girlfriend did not make the situation any better. They both should have started with a constructive climate but instead they both displayed behavior that showed their preoccupation with their own self. A disagreement over cellphone passwords turn into an argument that may have hurt the relationship beyond repair. The best thing for the two of them to have done was to find a middle ground where the best solution would have been for the both

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 theory is defined as tensions and conflicts that arise when resources, status, and power are unevenly distributed between groups in society and that these conflicts become the engine for social change. Power can be understood as control of material resources and accumulated wealth, control of politics and the institutions that make up society, and one's social status relative to others not just by class but by race, gender, sexuality, culture, and religion, among other things.

If resources are supplied through government for example, this conflict is minimized as one need is satisfied. The second reason is difference, in other words, individual instinct for survival (Pinker 2011). Regardless of where one is in the world, all individuals have the same instinct to survive and attain safety for first themselves, then their loved ones. If there is an interruption in the process of attaining this safety, satisfaction is not achieved, allowing aggression from a quarrel to arise and in many cases, violence. In addition, there is the reason of glory (Pinker 2011). Man strives for reputation, control, and power. No level of development or sufficient education can take away this innate instinct humans contain. Once again, this problem in attaining a need often causes conflict between humans; which is the reason for warfare. Not all quarrel results in violence, but all quarrel results in conflict and frustration. Given the context, the individuals involved, and the level of desperation at hand, this frustration can easily develop into violence and in larger terms, warfare.

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.

Wars have been waged for decades creating the world we live in today. Charles Tilly observed, “the state made war and war made the state” (qtd in Sernau, 2009, 147). However, these battles have been destructive and bloody resulting in the deaths of countless individuals. These grave consequences lead us to ask the ever problematic question, what could possibly motivate a state to engage in warfare? Fundamentally, some believe war is linked to a conflict of political and economic interests rooted in power struggles ranging from territorial and humanitarian to ideological and ethnic while others argue that war has become ingrained in our societies and economies resulting in this tenacious cycle of confrontation.

Involves incompatibility of preferences, principles and practices that people believe in such as religion, ethics or politics.
