Into to Conflict



Is there a right answer? When people argue, and when conflict breaks out, who has the right answer? The answer that makes everyone happy? The answer that stops the conflict? The answer that prevents conflict in the future? When both sides argue passionately for what they believe in, is there still a definite right and wrong? And then, if there is a right answer, who decides that it is right? Is this decision democratic, or a more dictatorial? Where does everyone fit into the whole picture of the conflict?
Maybe these questions do not have a right answer, however, through this blog I hope to explore them. I am not a journalist, I do not have any fancy degree, and I do not have years of experience in conflict. I do however have a curiosity for the subject, and a determination to find out more about it. To find out how conflict is both solved and how situations deteriorate and people get more entrenched within their conflict. To examine both sides of an ideological split, to see what both sides have to say about it. In each post I will pick a conflict that I think it worth talking about, whether it be political, ethical, or ideological. With each conflict I will see what people have said on either side, and what is being done.
Through this blog I hope to learn more about the world, and the people that inhabit it through what they have to say and what they believe. I hope that I can learn more about specific conflicts, and I hope I help other people to as well. If more people know what conflicts there are in the world, then there are more informed people trying to think of a solution. So here goes, more posts to follow soon!
