What makes humans, so much more different than animals is the fact that they have numerous different types of personalities. Dictonary.com defines personalities as the visible aspect of one's character as it impresses others. Moreover, because of this, not everyone has the same type of personality from the other; this can cause positive and negative problems.

He had to leave the room because of how harsh the conversation went. Afterward, my friends and I questioned if I should have gotten in that argument or if it was better to say nothing. This conflict definitely was a personal conflict since it was myself defending myself and my friends, but it also was a destructive conflict. According to Wynn (2015), “Destructive conflict is the result of behaviors that create hostility or prevent problem solving” (142).

Did you know that in 2014, shoplifting and worker’s theft cost the retail industry a loss of thirty-two billion dollars (Wahba, 2015)? According Wahba “a common misperception about shoplifting is that retailers can ‘afford’ the loss of a candy bar or a pair of jeans” (2015). This type of reasoning certainly does make more sense when explained through the context of a criminological theory. For example according to the Rational Choice theory individuals weigh the costs and benefits associated with a criminal and or deviant act and then make a conscious choice. Other criminological theories explain criminal and deviant behavior using a biological, psychological, social, conflict, or multifactor component. Taking that into consideration in this

The conflict in the dogs could teach me starts when Gary realizes that his dogs were very smart. He used to trap animals when he was young but the incident when one of his dogs Columbia meticulously arranges a scenario to tease Olaf, a boneheaded dog changed him. so via his internal conflict which is his struggling to trap and kill animals that could be as intelligent as Columbia is, changed forever his perspective on animals. he swore to never again intentionally hurt any animal. also another example of when conflict lead to change is the american revolution. another example is when american settlers invaded the lands of the Indians. also another example of when conflict lead to change is the french and Indian war. so conflict can cause a change in society but its impact is ultimately decided by the humans and nature within the area.
Realistic Conflict Theory As one of the oldest social psychology theories, the Realistic Conflict Theory deals with the conflict and hostility that is projected to arise between individuals or groups competing over the same limited resources. Therefore, as a resource, opportunity, or even goal, becomes harder to obtain, the amount of aggression is projected to increase as well. This theory is not only visible in many everyday situations, but it also establishes a basis for which discrimination and prejudice can be partly explained. The initial study of this theory was conducted in a three-step experiment.
Managing conflict is a difficult task that we all face, but becoming aware of your own characteristic style could help determine why conflicts result exactly the way they do. It helps determine what is a healthy outcome. Each circumstance is different.
"First come love, then comes marriage, then as many concurrent marriages as you want." This remixed nursery rhyme stated by Samantha Allen from an article in 'The Daily Beast' startled me as I read it. To hear that and learn during this research that there are an abundance of people that live day to day happily committing this crime are just one of many reasons as to why that statement was disturbing. This lifestyle is known as polygamy which is the state of marriage when one guy have multiple wives. I find this very unexceptable and I am going to use conflict theory to explain my justifications as to why it is so.
“To live anyhow is better than not at all” (Chekhov 1) , the short story, The Bet commenced with the conflict when the person had no choice but to choose between the death penalty or life in prison. The Bet was originally written by Anton Chekhov, a profound Russian short-story writer who concentrated a lot on human values and the reflection of the extravagantly selfish Russian nobility. And through The Bet he was able to express all those ideas in two sides, the banker and the lawyer with the conflict along the story line.
I believe that different people have different ways in which they view power and hierarchy. In organizations for instance, employees at the top levels of power may experience conflict with their subordinate counterparts due to the issue of power struggle. This may be due to the fact that people do not usually have common goals and interests. Personal differences in relation to objectives and interests always lead to some kind of conflict. In most cases, conflicts between people in power with their subordinates generate the majority of the conflicts in workplaces. When such issues are resolved, they always produce organizational changes which foster cooperation and innovation. On the other hand, when they are not resolved well or
Children often learn how to communicate and work through conflict from their parents, families, and peers.

Initially the answer may seem simple. One might say when comparing animals to humans that they are cruder than humans; they live their life by instinct, they don't love, they don't strive to educate themselves and each other - their overriding goal is to survive and make it through the day. Yet, human history and the scientific evidence tracing our human linage back to some ape-like predecessor proves that humans (well, their ancestors) most likely lived that same existence - scavenging for food and looking for a safe and warm place to sleep - subsistence. Hence, it must be something else that separates us from the animals.
