Conflict - It is a literary device characterized by a struggle between opposing forces.

Conflict provides crucial tension in any story and is used to drive narrative forward. It is often used to
reveal a deeper meaning in a narrative while highlighting the charcters motivations, values, weaknesses.

Two Kinds of Conflict

1. External Conflict

- refer to the opposition between an individual and some outside forces

2. Internal Conflict

- refer to the opposition coming from within oneself.

Types of Literary Conflict

1. MAN vs SELF

- conflict within the charcter’s mind.The opposition that the character faces is coming from
within. It is the conflict within the character’s mind. This may entail a struggle to discern what the moral
or right choice is or it may also encompass mental health struggles.

2. MAN vs MAN

- a common type of conflict where one character’s needs or wants are at odds with another’s. A
character conflict can be depicted as a straightforward fist fight or as an intricate nuisance as the
ongoing sturggle for power.

3. MAN vs NATURE

- the character is set in opposition to the weather, the wilderness or natural disaster.

4. MAN vs SUPERNATURAL

- putting characters against phenomena like ghosts, gods, or monsters. It raise the stakes of a
conflict by creating an unequal plain field.
5. MAN vs TECHNOLOGY

- character is facing machines or technology, such as mechanical failure or robots. Must prevail
against it.

6. MAN vs SOCIETY

- character is placed in opposition with society, governement, cultural tradition, or societal

norm. Characters may be motivated to take action against their society by needs of survival, moral
sense of right and wrong, or the desire for hapiness, freedom, justice or love.

CONFLICTS ARE INEVITABLE

No matter how we try to avoid making one or being in one.

Practice patice, Peaceful and non-violent way.

WHY IS THERE A NEED TO RESOLVE CONFLICTS?

Conflict resolution is the process of ending a dispute and reaching an agreement that satisfies
all parties involved. Since conflict is an essential part of being human, conflict resolution is not designed
to avoid disagreements. Instead, conflict resolution skills are used to facilitate discussions, increase
understanding and control emotional responses.

HOW TO RESOLVE CONFLICTS

1. Active listening

- Active listening refers to the practice of focusing on what the other party is saying, then
including their message when making your own statements. Having active listening skills not only
facilitates discussions and increases understanding, but also allows each party to feel heard.

2. Emotional regulation

- Emotional regulation is used to prevent volatility and insults when managing and resolving
conflict. By leaning on emotional intelligence and putting the right expectations in place, and utilizing
anger management skills, both parties can reach an agreement calmly without letting emotional
reactions influence the outcome.
3. Apologizing

- When necessary, the final step to conflict resolution is knowing when to apologize. It’s
important to note that successful conflict resolution will bring both of the involved parties to fully
understand what they’ve done and why an apology is needed—rather than simply going through the
motions to end the conflict.
