Among the many definitions that reveal a greater or lesser extent the concept of conflict, highlight a few.
Some authors define this state as a manifestation of subjective or objective contradictions which are expressed by the warring parties.
According to other figures, the conflict - is the sharpest resolution method relevant contradictions which are formed during the reaction.It is based on the contradiction of the parties.As a rule, he is accompanied by negative emotions.
However, these definitions do not fully disclosed the concept of "conflict" and "the importance of contradictions."
According YV Rozhdestvensky, controversy relates to the speech act.He identified three stages in the development of the struggle for the interests.The first, in his opinion, are the differences of opinion, the second - the contradictions in the process of discussions.The third stage - the conflict - a struggle in direct actions.
contradiction is defined as a dialogue (speech act) in which the expressed differences among the parties.
conflict - is any verbal side effects, which are aimed at causing damage to various other side.
The essence of this phenomenon should be provided in the conceptual scheme.This should cover four main characteristics.These include the dynamics, structure, management and function.
structure contains an object of conflict (controversial subject), actors (groups, organizations, individuals), the terms of scale (interpersonal, global), tactics and strategies of the parties, outcomes.
Any real conflict - it is quite a complicated dynamic process.It includes the following phases:
- objective situation (formation of objective reasons);
- interaction (developing situation or incident);
- partial or complete resolution.
Depending on the nature, distinguish situations:
- objective (linked to the real shortcomings and problems);
- subjective (due to different estimates of those or other actions and events).
Depending on the destructive consequences determine (acting destructively) and constructive (providing rational transformations) situation.
Among the existing classification of certain conflicting situations are quite common conflicts of interest.These include situations in which addresses the issues of distribution, or arising on a background of rivalry for possession.
In other words, a conflict of interests - a situation which involved the interests of the parties involved (the plans goals, motives, aspirations and others) have a conflicting or incompatible with each other.These include, for example, the odds of the spouses about the plans for the upcoming holiday.This situation refers to contradictions.When their incompatibility situation, go to the category of resource conflicts.This often occurs due to the wishes of the parties to get the same resource or the most profitable part.At the same opponents tend towards the same goal, but due to limited resources or individuality, their interests conflict with each other.Such problems often arise in everyday life.
All events, social events, community (political parties, family, etc.) can be considered from the point of conflict.This result is a contradictory situation can lead to discord and struggle, and the unity and solidarity of people.Thus, social conflict - a concept that contains a certain ambiguity.This contradictory nature of the situation, expressed in constructive or destructive beginning, it plays a crucial role in the development of society.
