What Is Conflict!

[webishqiptar 0]

Like so many other organizational term-effectiveness or leadership, for example- conflict has both a colloquial meaning and a discouragingly long list of specific definitions. The list includes four rather different usages if the term: (1) antecedent conditions to some overt struggle (2) affective states (tension or hostility)(3) cognitive states (for example the perception that someother person or entity acts against one's interest and (4) conflictful behavior, verbal or non verbal ranging from passive resistance to active aggression.Our definition to conflict belongs to the last of these four categories, although the preceding categories are interesting and relevant. If two business firms are engaged in a price war, or a business and labor union are engaged in a strike, it is those actions that constitute conflict as we understand it. Whether a particular instance of such conflict is characterized by real or imagined differences of interest, by great anger and lack of it, by a hostile act or a misunderstood gesture of friendship are appropriate questions to understand conflict but not to defining it; it is defined by the collision if actors.

A conflict take place when two or more organisations or persons are in a contradiction between there. If in your place there are two malls and the owners have a war of prices and offers to sell more or maybe organize some event to call more public you can say that they are in a conflict but personally I think not. Two enterprises that compete for a market for example always will have differiences and that is the paper of the competition in the businesses. But it is very different if you in your college have a girlfriend and some day you catch her kissing with a boy and you get mad...You and the guy who was kissing your girlfriend will logically have a conflict, you will fight with him or maybe you will only discuss with him but the conflict will be there and the conflict will have an end of course...maybe you will leave your girlfriend or maybe you will forget her but the conflict between you and the guy will be there maybe forever until you forget the act or solutionate the act mentally. Based in this examples maybe the definition of conflict is more expansive than whe thougth but the conflict is that a contradiction, a war, maybe a competition but the real conflict in its more greatest way to be expressed is the violence where the conflict can be denied it because where the violence take effect generate more and more conflicts.So the conflict maybe is some complicated but you know how to diferenciate the conflict from the competion. They have simmilitudes but are not the same thing.

I think Wiktionary definition 2 is pretty nice: "An incompatibility of two things that cannot be simultaneously fulfilled."
The word is pretty general and I think it would be wrong to try to specialize it. If you know the general meaning of the word then you will know what it refers to in whatever context it is used in.
