Conflict and Violence Definitions
📌 Conflict originates from the Latin word *configere*, meaning "to strike together," and sociologically refers to a process where two or more parties try to destroy or neutralize each other.
💥 Violence is defined as opposition accompanied by aggressive, unpredictable actions capable of causing physical harm or injury to others.
📜 The term violence derives from the Latin *violentus*, signifying savagery, brutality, and assault.
❗ Conflict frequently escalates to violence if efforts for proper conflict management and resolution are not sincerely executed by involved parties.

Causes of Social Conflict
🌍 Conflicts arise from differences between individuals, such as contrasting opinions or temperaments (e.g., a quiet sibling versus a temperamental one).
⚖️ Divergent interests across economic, political, or social spheres are common causes, exemplified by political party conflicts leading up to elections.
🏛️ Cultural differences shape individual personalities and mindsets, potentially causing friction, such as generational disagreements over adopting Western versus Eastern cultural values.
🔄 Rapid social change can disrupt established values, leading to the emergence of opposing groups—for example, segments of society resisting reforms.

Forms of Social Conflict
⚔️ Individual vs. Individual Conflict: Disagreements between two people, such as a director and an employee over salary or terms.
🌎 International Conflict: Conflicts occurring between nations, such as the ongoing Israel-Palestine issue.
🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Racial/Ethnic Conflict: Disagreements between different races or ethnic groups, illustrated by historical apartheid or internal ethnic disputes.
💵 Class Conflict: Disputes between different social classes, commonly seen in labor disputes where workers seek better wages while companies might impose pay cuts.
👥 Inter-group Conflict: Conflicts between social groups, including soccer fan rivalries, student brawls, or political party clashes.
🧠 Intrapersonal Conflict: Internal conflict arising from emotional differences or choices an individual faces, like deciding between university education or immediate employment after high school.
👴 Intergenerational Conflict: Disputes between generations, often concerning traditions and customs, such as children favoring foreign cultural influences over conservative parental values.
📈 Destructive vs. Constructive Conflict: Destructive conflict leads to negative outcomes and losses, whereas constructive conflict is positive, aiming to build solutions, such as productive disagreements during a meeting that lead to final resolutions.

Conflict Resolution Methods
🤝 Compromise: A resolution where conflicting parties reduce their demands to reach an agreement, such as setting a wage increase that matches the company's capacity.
👑 Arbitration: Involving a third-party mediator whose decision is binding and must be adhered to by both disputing sides (e.g., a referee’s decision in a football match).
🧘 Tolerance: Mutual respect and acknowledgment of each other's differing stances as a pathway to understanding and resolution.
🗣️ Mediation: Utilizing a neutral third party who acts as an advisor; their decision is non-binding, leaving the final choice to the conflicting parties (e.g., a village head mediating a land dispute).
↩️ Conversion (Concession): When one party decides to yield or accept the proposal of the other side.
📝 Accommodation: A process where opposing views are negotiated during talks to achieve a mutual agreement.
🏛️ Adjudication: Resolving conflict legally through courts or trials, such as judicial decisions regarding corruption cases.
🛑 Stalemate (Deadlock): Occurs when disputing parties possess equal power and reach a standstill where neither side can progress or retreat.
🚪 Segregation: An attempt by conflicting parties to separate themselves and avoid each other to reduce tension.
🕊️ Truce (Ceasefire): A temporary suspension of hostility or warfare to allow time for conflict resolution processes to take place.
🎯 Diversion: Ending a conflict by redirecting attention to a shared, simultaneous objective, such as groups pausing a dispute to focus on aiding a region affected by a natural disaster.
