War Is What Happens When Language Fails (Margaret Atwood)

Communication in conflict can be both constructive and destructive. Those who communicate constructively, or productively, emphasize both themselves and

Conflict is one of many challenges in everyday life. It is presented to us in many ways such as trying to figure out how to get your homework done on time, finding a way to win the football game, or something just as simple as trying to get out of doing your chores. However, there are times in everyone's life where your conflict is beyond the norm. These could include standing up to your school bully, trying to save someone’s life, or as many would say the greatest conflict in human history, the Nazis rise to power. There are many ways to solve a conflict in general no matter how morally wrong it is. However, history has shown time and time again that the best way to solve a conflict is to stand up to it while also

People deal with conflict many different ways depending on what kind of person they are. of person they are, most guys start fighting while some girls start screaming and yelling of what I know. I think that people can deal with it by being calm and brave. Some of the sources that I used were Maus I, Maus II, Boy in the Striped Sweater and Dear Miss Breed. Bravery is one of the best ways to respond to conflict.

Felix Frankfurter once said “…the most constructive way of resolving conflicts is to avoid them.” This means if people want to deal with a conflict, the most effective and simple way is to ignore it. This quote is worthless because if people do not try their best to resolve the conflict, it would become more complicate or more terrible results. A conflict would not disappear by itself. This quote is supported in the book The Crucible by Arthur Miller and the text “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson.

B. Explanation of allusion: Bertrand Russell was a British philosopher, mathematician and social critic who was involved in the Anglo-American philosophy movement. He campaigned for peace and wrote on social, political, and moral subjects publishing 70 books and around 2,000 articles. In 1890, Russell switched his focus from mathematics to philosophy. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950. He spent

Conflict is all around us, and with conflict comes change. This idea is shown in real life, books, movies, and more. The book Among the Hidden and the real life conflict in South Sudan both show this idea. Conflict leads to change.

The power of words can be the difference of a happy ending to the start of a War.

Depending on the situation is how people decide to respond to conflict. Not everyone responds to conflict the same way you might respond to it. If you have a lot of knowledge then you might decide to respond to conflict with intelligence. If you are a person that really believes in themselves then you might decide to respond to conflict with positive thinking or attitude. But if you know that you are that one person that is daring you might respond to conflict with bravery or courage. People though decide to respond to conflict with friends and or family because we all at least have a mom, dad, siblings, aunt, uncle, grandma, grandpa, or even a dog that you care about and count on. In the stories Anne Frank’s Diary, Maus, and Hiroshima they

“When the sniper reached the laneway on the street level, he felt a sudden curiosity as to the identity of the enemy sniper whom he had killed” (439). The story shows a sniper who finds a war and eventually leads to him getting hurt and the result he killed his brother without knowledge during the darkness of war and night. This therefore shows people are not only pushed against each other but their friends and family too. To conclude, this quote shows people harm each other to get what they want from war. But in this result many hurt or even kill each

It´s easier to find ways to predict it, prevent it, transform it, and resolve it. In a book the dynamic character cannot change without conflict, conflict helps the character to grow and understand to better them. If there was never conflict life would be mundane because nothing would change. It’s essential for innovation because it increases the number of ideas available for potential modernization. Conflict is a learning experience to help us learn what is right and what is wrong. If America did not have the American Revolution then we would not be a nation nor a democracy. If there was no Civil War African Americans would have no legal rights. Conflict build a person's character up. Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply. Every kind of conflict produces creative thinking, if it wasn’t for conflict you wouldn’t know half the things you know today, it’s the only thing that gives a solution to a problem, People tend to feel as if they don’t have a say anymore, but when they try to change things but no emulations are acted upon. So, these daily matters have no change.

Conflict has been solved in a variety of ways in many many different situations,but do we as humans really know what the best way is? Though there is not and will never be a definitive answer to this question,studies have shown that positivity is one of the best ways to handle conflict. The conflict can be as big as things like making it through the holocaust or as small as what TV show to watch,but positivity will almost always improve your situation in some way or another.

In many conflicts there are many different endings to them; arguments every day, accidents, wounds, injuries, broken hearts, and even deaths. Many ignorant people resolve their problems in fights and they hurt one

“War is constituted by a relation between things, and not between persons…War then is a relation, not between man and man, but between State and State…” Being between state and state, meant that it was not the people themselves, but a higher power fighting with another higher power. In order for war to survive, it needs opinion, disagreement, a cause, and power hunger. The goal of war is to win, whether that means you either stop fighting or one side won.

Perspective is a powerful conflict; the approach one has about war is an important factor that helps fabricate whether it is essential to use violence or not in order to voice opinions. “..we must resort to force only in case we may not avail of ourselves of discussion” (Source A). Conflicting views are detrimental to the society, the discussion that one has within each other is a conversation in which conflicts arise and therefore war seems to be inescapable. War is consistently an upbringing element, in which society cannot avoid. The emotions behind opinions is ultimately associated with war, it is often impossible to express yourself for others to have an actual understatement therefore perspective is influential.

We are trapped in a world of conflict. We'll never have peace without conflict around the corner, and vice versa. The only difference between where there is war from where there is harmony is that the people there decided to use their fists, and weapons, and the wrong words to settle their problems. Conflict is so deeply rooted in our nature that it's a part of every single one of us, and it's not even something we developed over the years. It's always been a part of us, we have innumerable pieces from the past that show us how prone we humans are to create strife. One of the most famous pieces of literature that show us this was an epic from the Greeks, called the Iliad.
