In one word, how would you describe a conflict?
Conflict happens when two or more people have different ideas, needs, or wants. Resolving a conflict may involve talking it out, compromising, or working together to find a solution. Conflict can be positive if it leads to better understanding and relationships.
Conflict: Resolving Disagreements
Conflict: A struggle between two opposing forces or ideas. Compromise: A settlement of a dispute that is reached by each side making concessions. Resolution: A successful outcome of a conflict or disagreement in which the parties reach agreement or satisfaction.
Concepts:
In the early days of the United Nations, the first conflict that was addressed was the Greek Civil War in 1947. During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union maintained a 'hotline' that they could use to communicate in the event of a conflict. The term 'Cold War' was first used to describe the tense relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union during the mid-20th century.
