...Conflict Inevitably, every person will encounter conflict. How a person responds to conflict can determine their success or failure. In addition, A person’s response to conflict will have either a positive or negative impact on the person and the people around them. There are several types of conflict; a few of them are: man versus man, man versus self, and man versus society. One of the several types of conflict is man versus man, which is an external conflict. Man versus man is a conflict that involves two characters or people that have opposing viewpoints, desires, and interests. The two most common character archetypes that are involved in man versus man conflicts are the protagonist and the antagonist. A good example of man versus man conflict can be found in the novel Things Fall Apart, which was written by Chinua Achebe. At the beginning of the novel, it is shown that the protagonist, Okonkwo, defeated a man known as the cat. By reacting to the man versus man conflict and defeating the cat, Okonkwo was able to gain respect and influence within his tribe which was a positive impact on Okonkwo and his future family....

Even though the children play in the street it cause a safety risk to drivers that don’t speed or drive wreck less do to the children running in and out of the streets without looking for cars. The children are our future and they need to be protected. When a person is looking to buy a future home they want to see a nice neighborhood that looks respectable and not as if it’s a bad neighborhood. The appearance of a home in my belief can say a lot about the people who live there. Someone who takes care of their home for example pressure washing, not trash in yard, paint nicely applied. Also there are some resident that don’t have the money but the residents should do as much as they can. To give an example of this a resident in my neighborhood has fixed the garage door which is tilted half way closed and it’s not very appealing. The appearance of a residents lawn as well as home its self make a community. A yard or lawn care should at the minimum have the grass mowed. The plants should be not over grown or deceased.

...The poor people usually depends of this places for basic things like food or sleep,without that help some of them don`t survive winter. Most of these institutions exist thanks to donations made it by average people and not government assistance. Every day there is more people living on the streets and the help is simply not enough, even when these kind of institutions exist. The people which suffer of poverty even when we see them like a kind of dog in the street, they are human and they want a decent life like normal people. Is normal to say that those poor people are living on the streets by their own choice, but like I said before, that is ignorance. That people suffer a lot of things, even things that we never going to feel, for example the hungry . The sad of these situations is that most of these people is...

...The conflict in “The Jacket” supports the overarching theme not be so materialistic. In fact the boy with the jacket balmes all of his troubles on the jacket that his mother gives him. For an example he says,” My clothes have failed me.” It's really not the jackets fault about how he feels, but his own. He blames all of his bad luck and misfortune on the jacket. Another example of conflict is when he blames his mom for buy a cheap and ugly jacket. Their poverty is not his mother's fault or buying an ugly jacket; she could only afford that specific one. In the jacket, the boy with the jacket says, “I blame my mother for the bad taste and her cheap ways.” . The boy is being so bitter and his mom works so hard at her job to even buy a jacket....

...several conflicts in Frankenstein in several different ways. Person vs. Person When Dr. Frankenstein is preparing to encounter the monster at his wedding night, a person vs. person conflict takes place between Frankenstein and his monster. “Well, be it so; a deadly struggle would then assuredly take place, in which if he were victorious I should be at peace and his power over me be at an end. If he were vanquished, I should be a free man. Alas! What freedom?” (Pg. 204) The quote shows a person vs. person conflict because it shows how two characters go into a struggle against each other.

...During my freshman year of high-school, I was just like any other angsty teen. One night I was hanging out with friends and wanted to travel to a nearby town for something to do. We mainly just wanted to screw around in the Walmart, and get some Taco Bell, two things that our small town did not have. I called my parents to see what they thought about the situation. They must have thought I was going to go do meth because they were extremely adamant about me traveling the thirty minutes to another town at 9 pm on a weekend night. In this situation, I used the avoidance conflict strategy. Instead of confronting the conflict I got done with the call and went anyway. When my girlfriend gets hungry, she stereotypically gets angry. To make the...

...One example of this is when Nick Carraway found out about Tom Buchanan's affair with another woman and was stuck with the dilemma of whether to tell Daisy or not. Another example of internal conflict is how Gatsby has an unhealthy obsession with the past and is desperately trying to repeat the past with Daisy. Gatsby will change anything in his life in order to impress Daisy and make him more attractive to her. With Gatsby being too focused on Daisy and asking too much of her, Nick decides to give Gatsby a taste of reality and says, “You can’t repeat the past” (Fitzgerald 110). This quote instantly backfired when Gatsby said shortly after, “I’m going to fix everything just the way it was before” (Fitzgerald 110). He truly believes that the past can be repeated and he will be able to make things just like they were before when it was just him and Daisy and there was nothing that could change his...

...Causes of Organizational Conflict by George N. Root III, Demand Media Managerial Expectations It is the job of an employee to meet the expectations of his manager, but if those expectations are misunderstood, conflict can arise. Managers need to spend time clearly communicating their goals to employees and then confirming those goals in writing. A manager should also encourage her employees to ask questions about their goals, and hold regular meetings to discuss the goals and how best to reach them. Breakdown in Communication If a department requires information from another department in order to do its job, and the second department does not respond to the request for information, a conflict can arise. Some interdepartmental disagreements might trigger a nonresponsive attitude that can quickly become an internal conflict. Another way of creating this sort of conflict is by giving a circular response such as an issue being perpetually "under review." When people or departments are late in responding to information requests, or they are withholding information on purpose, it is best to address the situation immediately with a personal meeting with both sides to resolve the situation. Related Reading: Organizational Structure & Conflict of Interest Misunderstanding the Information According to mediation expert Robert D. Benjamin, writing on Mediate.com, internal conflict can sometimes arise as the result of a simple misunderstanding. One person may misunderstand information...
