Week 2, Post 1


I feel that conflict in humans is an inborn trait. I believe that one of the reasons why conflict arises is because our basic needs aren’t being met, or may be threatened. For example, a landlord informed the tenant that he is raising rent by $100 each month. However, the tenant knows that she cannot afford rent, and is now worried that she might not have a place to live. Having a place to live is one of the basic needs to survival, and this may cause conflict between the landlord and tenant. Therefore, I feel conflict is a natural instinct and we need certain traits to help us survive and succeed.

Also, I feel that conflict is inevitable because we all come from different backgrounds and our understanding or perspective of one another may be different than someone else’s belief. Therefore, being able to communicate our feelings and thoughts may be difficult when communicating with someone else who may not have the same background or experiences as you.
