What is conflict? (By Tanya)
26.10.2011, 23:58
Conflict is a word which most of us associate with the pain, a great degree of discomfort, anger, frustration, sadness, depression. Itself the term conflict is a very complex notion. The dictionary defines "conflict" as "a struggle to resist or overcome; contest of opposing forces or powers; strife; battle. A state or condition of opposition; antagonism; discord. A painful tension set up by a clash between opposed and contradictory impulses." And no matter how hard we try to avoid it, conflict from time to time enters our lives. We can experience it almost every day in our lives. It exists in all spheres of live, at all levels of society and in all sorts of situations. Conflict can explain many aspects of social life such as disagreement between people, fights between individuals and groups of people. In can cause disagreements in interests. We all are unique people; we have our own thoughts and opinions that's why some times our views and opinions become differ from other. It is interesting to mention that conflict has positive and negative sides. Conflict has a positive side when it can be the start of something new or the end of something that needs conclusion. And of course the conflict means a negative side when it creates more aggression, anger, discomfort, anxiety or mental and physical stress, when it promotes the war. Today there are many different types of conflicts. For example relationships conflicts are always caused by misunderstanding, lack of communication, negative emotions or bad behavior. It often can be between friends of members of family. Interest conflicts appear because of variety of interests and life positions. Another type is value conflict. We all are different and we all understand life values (for example what is good or bad) in different ways. They appear when one person tries to enforce his values on the other.
And to conclusion I want to say that first of all it is really important not to know how to avoid conflict situations but to know how to remain human beings in such situations.
