WHAT IS CONFLICT?
WHY CONFLICTS HAPPEN?
Conflict is collision of
opposite directed purposes, interests, positions, opinions or views of
opponents or subjects of interaction (Psychological dictionary, L. A. Karpenko).
Conflict is a natural thing in our life. Conflicts happen because people don’t agree with each other. The reasons for this also can be explained by the fact that all the people are different. They have different ideas, different views of life, different values and so on.

EXAMPLE OF A CONFLICT
There can be conflicts between
family members, such as brothers and sisters, parents and
children, between classmates, friends, colleagues, parties or states.
EXAMPLE: you parents want you to wear proper clothes, but you think that such clothes are too conservative. So, of course, you prefer to wear something fashionable and modern, such as jeans and T-shirt. Your parents don’t approve of it, and after some time you have a conflict with them, trying to prove that your style of clothes is good and that you don’t want to wear conservative suits and skirts.
