Question

What is Conflict? Describe the various types of conflicts.

Answer 1

Conflict is simply differing ideas or actions, often related to the selfish pursuit of needs (known and unknown) that end in a state of unrest.

Various types of conflicts are:-

1) Interpersonal Conflict :-
Conflict that exists between two people is called interpersonal conflict. The conflict is external to each person (hence the 'inter-' prefix) and exists only between the two people. Interpersonal conflict can be seen any time two people disagree on a topic.

2) Intrapersonal Conflict :-
Remembering that the prefix 'intra-' means originating internally, you can see that intrapersonal conflict is when you feel conflicted about your own thoughts or actions.

3) Intergroup Conflict :-
'Inter-' means external and 'group' means sets of multiple things, so intergroup conflict relates to conflicts that happen between solidified groups of people. This type of conflict happens constantly during any heated political campaign.

Answer 2

In the words of author David L. Austin, "Conflict can be defined as a disagreement between two or more individuals or groups, with each individual or group trying to gain acceptance of its view over others."

Explanation:

There are the following four types of conflicts-

1. Intra-Personal Conflict- It occurs within an individual. Goal-conflict, Role-conflict, etc. are examples of intra-personal conflicts.

2. Inter-personal Conflict- It occurs between two or more people. Normally, it happens between two different types of categories in which one is superior to the other.

3. Inter-group Conflict- It occurs between two or more groups. Organizational conflict is an example of this.

4. Inter-Organizational Conflict- It occurs between two or more organizations. It is basically a result of business competition.
