From the end of the nineteenth century until the attainment of independence in the early 1960s, the countries of East Africa were under the colonial administration of European empires. After decades of foreign rule which saw unparalleled transformations within society, the post-colonial states that emerged have been blighted by ethnic conflict. It has been argued that the beliefs of British, Belgian and German administrators led them to completely reorganise the societies they governed based on a
Ethnic Conflict in the Middle East Ethnic conflicts are well rooted in the world's history and perhaps inherent in human nature. This type of conflict is difficult to resolve as is evident in the situation in the Middle East. The ethnic conflict theory explains that it is not territory, politics, or economics that prevents the achievement of peace between the Israeli and Palestinian peoples, instead, it is a deep-seated hatred of one another that neither group can overcome.

Conflict impacts individuals in altering and unique ways. We all have our own perceptions of right and wrong as well as differing reactions to our struggles. The way we deal with conflict reveals much about who we are, our intentions change throughout time which means the outcomes are dependent on the individuals desires.

peace that comes from conflicts. All conflicts are resolved one way or another, and sometimes things are take too far for their own good. Family feuds can end very badly for both sides over unimportant issues. As an example, the feud between the Hatfields and McCoys is one of America's most known family feuds. To me it isn’t smart to take a simple family conflict and push it that far. Similarly, how could rival record companies lead to deaths in the conflict of West Coast vs. East Coast rappers? Also
Wars - The Results Lead to Further Conflicts During the twentieth century, conclusions of wars created the conditions for subsequent wars. Whether it was the conquered or the conqueror, few ever remain content past an initial truce. Two examples of this can be found in the events that lead up to WWII and the constant conflict in the Middle East. The conclusion and consequences of World War I created many issues, which helped intensify World War II. The Treaty of Versailles, which outlined

The Socs live on the West side where they live a supposedly better life with everything that they want and the Greasers live on the East side with nothing much but anger and jealousy about the Socs who always seem to be privileged in every way.

Introduction When we go to work every day we all have to face co-workers that just get under our skin. It can be for a number of different reasons, they are too loud, they complain too much, they are not doing their job, or they are just breathing when they come in in the morning, whatever the case maybe at one point or another everybody has experienced these things.

those affected in a secondary way. This creates a dichotomy between those experiencing an internal conflict, survivor or otherwise, and those who had experienced the physical external conflict of the Holocaust. Thus, I will argue that internal conflict is more damaging to the individual because it is polarizing both in a mental way but also with the relationships formed with others while external conflict actually serves as a bonding agent for a group by creating a common, albeit, negative experience
is rife with conflict. Online classrooms are no different from these online jungles, where words can be easily misconstrued in the low-context environment of computer-mediated-communication (CMC). Conflicting values are imminent in diverse group settings, but online-only, low context communication leads to increased conflict. The first line of defense for managing conflict is the use of online mediation. A secondary line of defense for resolving conflict and preventing future conflict is to change
