Conflict is a part of life. It occurs between people and nations and within your own mind over wants, needs, drives, wishes, and the demand of others. Conflict is ever present in nature as when animals prey on each other. There is conflict when opposing sides compete as in sporting events or debates. Conflict can be as mild as disagreeing about music preference or as serious as going to war over land boundaries.
