Abstract

The current strife at home and around the world has conspiredto limit the reasonableness of presenting conflict as a positive andinvigorating experience in our lives. Conflict seems to be pressingon us from all potential sources: religious, regional, economic, political,ethnic, racial, class, family, workplace, and moral.However, we must still view conflict as an essential experienceof life, a precursor to change, and the most direct route to amelioration.All substantive decisions are imbedded in a context of conflict.After all, a decision is nothing more than a choice betweentwo or more competing possibilities and competing possibilitiesconfronting one another is just another way of saying “conflict.”Engaging in conflict is simply engaging in the fabric of life: makingchoices, determining the superiority of one course of actionover another, and sorting the relative value of possibilities. All reasonconcludes that being able to experience conflict with somethingmore than an encoded genetic response is one of the eventsthat separates humanity from other social forms of life on thisplanet.
