Conflict Argumentative Essays Samples For Students

Marriages are social institutions that sometimes experience extensive challenges. Many couples take divorce as the main solution for the marriage challenges. However, they fail to consider the demerits that come with choices they make. They are inconsiderate of the effects that follow their action. Divorce does not only affects but also children. Divorce can occur in a family where there are children as well as the ones without children. It will be considerable to solve problems in the marriage if there are children than executing divorce. The children are innocent, and they need to be considered in case the parents ...

In the Greek play Antigone, there exist great conflicts between religious/moral laws vs. state/human law. The rebel (stubborn Antigone) and Creon the king, fully represent the conflicts that lie within the laws. Antigone believes that the god’s decrees accompanied by his family chores in taking care of his two brothers had a great importance than any other written laws and decrees by man. She dares to ignore all the written laws including the ones passed by the mighty Ruler of Thebes. She ignores the fact that the powerful King is her uncle and leaves no chance to bow to ...

Introduction

The contact between the European and Indigenous people led to many points of conflict and clashes. The indigenous people for this are the Indians in America. The conflict of the Indian cultural and religious beliefs with the Christianity and European cultures made it almost impossible for the existence of the two groups of people without conflicts. The Hindu religion clashed with the Christianity leading to conflicts and differences between the Europeans and Indians in America (Tompkins 8-10). The differences in cultural background between the Europeans and the indigenous people led to many grounds of conflicts. The attitudes and perceptions ...

Modern warfare as we know it today began to take shape during the 19th century, with the rise of nation states came patriotic fervor and the need to express this through a strong, varied and most importantly competent military force. For the first time in history, armies became institutions and nations took pride in training and equipping their regiments. This change coincided with the industrial revolution which brought wide ranging changes to manufacturing processes. The production line allowed weapons and other instruments of warfare to be produced in mass numbers never before seen. More advanced manufacturing techniques meant more secure ammunition, ...

PARENT’S WISHES
People have dreams to get married and start a family. My father once implied that life is hard and sometimes sad, but all the harshness of life dissipates when you have children. He says having children should make me happier. My parents set goals for me to achieve in order to make them proud of me. Also, their expectations on what I should do did not stop when I graduated high school. Parents usually develop expectations once their child is born, and many develop their expectations for what their children’s goals ...

How does the commercial peace theory, in the long run, attempt to avoid wars and not create them? In order to understand, or answer this question, scholarly articles written by McMillan’s (1997) Interdependence and Conflict; Buzan’s (1984) Economic Structure and International Security; Lynn’s (2005/6) War, Trade and Utopia; and Rowe’s (2005) The Tragedy of liberalism How globalization Cause the First World War are considered.

The Story of an Hour Summary

Kate Chopin’s "The Story of An Hour" is one of her most celebrated works. It reflects the kind of life that women had to undergo in the 1880s male dominated society where women were expected to be highly subjective and any questioning of a man’s decision was actually considered to be a down casting act and anyone who did that was essentially considered to be an outcast. Mrs. Mallard, being a woman who suffered from a heart attack, experienced lots of difficulties in her life due to lack of freedom. She considered herself to be among the most disadvantaged women living ...

Wars around the world can be traced back to a form of religion or religious expressions of difference. As the evolution of mankind has progressed, so too have the unique interpretations of religious elements that each population carries into the world. This study will produce evidence that supports the argument that each military engagement across the face of international civilization has been at the core, a result of religious ideals and the manner in which these philosophical differences are expressed.
Wilson (16) argues that the human race needs a means to explain and control the unexpected, which in turn creates religion. ...

In this universe, there is some task out there that is ours in a morally valid way. This is referred to as our vocation. Education is supposed to lead us to this lifelong vocation, which is ultimately an occupation that will feel natural and we will love. The problem with most of us is that we are so conflicted in life that we never consider looking for our true vocation. Men who have been too conflicted have never found their true vocation and those who find their true vocation; they never had any conflicts about it. Often we become so ...

Rather than preparing the country for self-rule, the mandate agreement sowed the seeds of conflict in Palestine. Assess this statement

Introduction
The Arab-Israeli conflict refers to the war between the Jewish state of Israel and the Arabs of the Middle East over land in the area known as Palestine (Bickerton, 9). There have been various reasons associated with this long term conflict. These include land, claim of the country and anti-Semitism (Bickerton, 10). Consequently, there has been lots of peace agreements and treaties that have been sealed between the two contending groups, in a quest to find peace in the Middle East region. The British mandate for Palestine is one of these agreements. This mandate was developed by the ...

Israel became a nation about two thousand years before the rise of Islam. Modern day Israel shares the same language and culture based on Jewish tradition (" Israel Science and Technology Directory.") Jews have had an important presence for well over three thousand years. However after the Romans overtook Jerusalem about two thousand years ago, those of Jewish faith were exiled to Diaspora (" Israel Science and Technology Directory."). Refugees in the area still remain an issue.
Religious strife continues to be the driving facto between the states of the Arabs and Palestine. Jews desperately wished to return to Israel. Many ...

The Middle East conflict between Israel and the Arab state has been in the forefront of international news for years. However, despite the recent focus on the Middle East, statistics show that conflict has been gradually subsiding since the 1970’s. Throughout this essay I endeavor to clearly analyze the factors contributing the Arab-Israeli conflict and how they might be resolved. The holy city of Jerusalem, is often caught in the middle of this conflict. Considered a city with deep historical and religious significance to many cultures and religions, the question remains, who should claim Jerusalem as their own?

The story of young Francis Tarwater is as old as the tale of Jacob from the Book of Genesis, struggling with God to find his own identity; it is as timeless as Young Goodman Brown’s exploration of his own darker sides. It is the story of the collision between the spiritual forces of good and evil and their own resolution in the tale of each of us. Just like many of us, Francis Tarwater has to make his own decisions about his spiritual future, and the influence he receives from his various father figures in the story is ...

Drug testing

1. A decision should be rendered in favor of the union. The reasons raised by the union should be given merit when the union leaders stated that under the CBA, the employer is prohibited to intrude into the private lives of the employees. The drug policy has prohibited on-the-job impairment or abuse and the random testing can only be made inside the workplace, when the employees report to work and about to leave work. Here, the employee who was tested positive for drug abuse did not report to work when the random drug test was conducted.

Conflict resolution strategies, when applied to post-war reconstruction, reconciliation and peacebuilding, can make significant contributions towards positive outcomes. Ramsbotham et al. (2011), in their chapters on the aforementioned subjects, deal with the importance of conflict resolution in instances of wartime, and how these stages of conflict vary in scope and complexity. While post-war reconstruction is an incredibly tense stage, the implications and reach of the conflict (as well as its importance) are increased in the peacebuilding and reconciliation stages.
Post-war reconstruction is a particularly fragile stage of conflict; war has just ended, but the peace process itself has not ...

According to Attenborough (2012) food insecurity is a global concern. The number of people who go hungry because they can’t access food is on the rise. The fact that food is not available for many has prompted many scholars to look at the cause of food insecurity. In their findings, some scholars and scientists have established that there is only one major cause of food insecurity, the growing world population. In addition, conservationists and preservationists efforts to bring an end to climate change have blamed the rising population for the increasing global warming. With increased buildings, increased environment clearing ...

Introduction

War is an integral part of the human history. It has been the justified as the last resort in conflict resolution, when other peaceful conflict resolution methods, fails. However, many times, it may be urged that war has not been used as the last alternative in resolving societal disputes, but has been rather orchestrated by the party(s) that suppose to hold superior militant power, to coerce the weaker side to concede to the demands or conform to its will. That is fact, not withstanding that there are main situation during the recorded history of the mankind, where war ...

Conflict Resolver's handbook

Conflict Resolution

Increased tensional levels at intergroup, interpersonal, inter-organizational, and intercultural levels has intensified the need for understanding the aspect of conflict resolution. Many a researcher have studied conflict resolution using theoretical approaches and practical inquiry strategies, and thereafter coming up with appropriate strategies or models for addressing issues under conflict. According to Schelling (1980), the study of conscious, intelligent, or sophisticated behavior to unearth the rules for guiding the behavior amounts to strategy. As such, the process of resolving conflicts is largely dependent on the strategies employed in the conflict resolution process. Schelling further argues that strategies employed in ...

D.W. Augsburger found that women and men do have fundamental differences in how they regard violence and conflict resolution, with women preferring methods of negotiation and nonviolent resistance to the use of physical force and coercion. Because of differences in culture and socialization, women simply lacked political, economic and military power in the public sphere while they wielded considerable influence in the private and domestic world, especially as the ‘power behind the throne’. As societies become more urban and industrialized, though, with more educational and economic opportunities for women, these distinctions may change. After all, there is no realm ...

It can be clearly argued that a nation has got the full rights to decide whether it has to go or not to go to war. The question is why do wars occur? Wide range of answers can be given to this question but mainly it depends on what sort of conflicts a country is going through. Some countries undergo major conflicts while others may only deal with minor ones. There are a few circumstances that allow a nation to go to war immediately and at the same time some circumstances insists the country to make decision and not to go to war.

A non-state actor can be defined as any entity that acts within the scope of international politics, but does not belong to a state structure. They do not have legal sovereignty over a specific group of people. The terrorist cell known as Hezbollah qualifies as a violent non-state actor; it is an independent militant group based in Lebanon whose goal is to free the borders of Palestine from the "Zionist entity" that is Israel (Saad-Gohrayeb, 2002). The Israel-Lebanese conflict as a whole involved a number of other nonstate actors, primarily terrorist and extremist militias such as the Amal, SSNP, LCP and PFLP-GC. These non-state ...

The end of Cold War in 1991 was expected to usher in an era of global peace. However, the era following the collapse of Berlin Wall and the Soviet Union was characterized by a new pattern of conflicts. For instance, in the decade following the end of Cold War, it is estimated that more than 115 internal conflicts took place in diverse parts of the world (Gilbert 151). There has been emerging and unprecedented form of intra-state conflicts across continents since then. This paper seeks to critically analyze the trends of intra-state conflicts following the end of Cold War. ...

Differences between efficient and group-level explanations for war

The efficient explanation for war is centered and derived from the constitution as well as from the legal structures within an entity. This means that wars are constitutionally appropriate if the lives of the citizens are threatened by an outside entity. This means that the decision to engage in war is independent on social or other cultural background (Danziger 35). The group-level decision is centered on the idea of dominance. Countries decide to engage in war for reasons that are defined buy cultural and social differences. Countries are therefore in a rush to enter into war with other countries, not ...

Chinese Politics - Will China's Rise to Economic Global Dominance be Peaceful?

China is a rising economic hub not only in Europe but also in the world as a whole. The developments in China have taken storm over the world as all the sectors have risen to compete at the world’s highest economic level. However, China will sustain the economic growth and maintain peace in the country at the same time. This paper argues on the possibility of challenges in maintaining ...

Throughout centuries of fighting, the fundamental basis of warfare remains the ideological or militaristic conflict between two opposing sides. While the means, methods and strategies of warfare have changed dramatically in the last four hundred years, governments and militaries have always needed to find a way to ensure that morale remains on their side and encourage antipathy towards their opponents. Influencing activities have been important in warfare throughtout history, with military leaders and campaigns requiring the moral and material support of the people in order to succeed. When looking at the strategies of Napoleon Boneaparte, Clausewitz’s trinity, and the ...

‘Warfare state’ or ‘welfare state’: which better describes the British State in the 20th century?

Great Britain has been a witness to many conflicts that had led to a shift in international and regional politics, triggering the onset of policies and programs directed to either war or welfare. As a veteran of the Great Wars and one of the world’s influential hegemons, Britain had succumbed to both victory and immense loss especially in economic and social development. With the trauma caused by the Great Wars to the nation, the British government alongside the monarchy had revised its programs to revive the once dominant British state towards the 20th century. However, experts have argued as to what ...

The Hostage Crisis, a Key to Understanding Modernity

In the history of human civilisation, there were very few ages characterised by stability and even less as peace. As no other species humanity can be characterised by warfare and conflicting nature of behaviour. There is probably no such region in the world, where there would not be various conflicts and were war did not take place. On the other hand, there are those regions where conflicts are transferred with mother's milk. The region of Middle East is the best example of such region. The Arab-Israeli conflict was a cornerstone of regional, interstate relations for almost two millennia. That is ...

The modern world is a wonderful place with millions of chances and possibilities for everyone. A person may find good in everything that surrounds them; however, there is also different side of the world that is full of evil. Evil is something morally wrong and wicked that may cause harm or pain. It is difficult to find the only objective root of evil, as it is actually everywhere, waiting for a person at every corner. My best guess would be that the humans with their free will are the sources of the most evil deeds on this planet, as ...

Introduction

At times, attorneys ask therapists to provide information that they obtain from their patients as expert witness testimony in a number of their therapy patients litigations. The therapists include psychologists and other professionals in mental health. As a result, they end up providing inaccurate information in the court. Research has found that most attorneys do not understand the difference between forensic and therapeutic roles. Although the two parties may be dealing with the same patient/examinee, this does not justify a therapist proving both services to the same patient-litigant (Greenberg & Shuman, 2007, p.130) .Their roles are distinct based on different professional elements. ...

The human family in all its forms and all its habitat has undergone struggles to restore the world in order and create a peaceful society.

It has not been easy to maintain peace in the world we live as nations have engaged each other in conflicts. The detrimental effects that resulted from the first and second world ...

Throughout centuries of fighting, the fundamental basis of warfare remains the ideological or militaristic conflict between two opposing sides. While the means, methods and strategies of warfare have changed dramatically in the last four hundred years, governments and militaries have always needed to find a way to ensure that morale remains on their side and encourage antipathy towards their opponents. To that end, propaganda was created – the biased historical and cultural narratives created by cultures and governments to vilify their opponents and uplift their own military forces. Propaganda has survived four centuries of change through its durability and malleability throughout ...

The theory of realism has been a source of constant conflict between the government policies and the academia. The lines put forth by John Mearsheimer bear testimony to this conflict. Mearsheimer believes, “Realism appears to have a bright future in the twenty-first century. Unfortunately, we still live in a nasty and brutish world where the great powers compete with each other for power. The only possible threat to realism is likely to come from inside academia, where it is frequently reviled. But any attempt to silence realism within the academy is likely to fail, simply because it is difficult to repress or ...

Every historical event has its reasons, prerequisites, characteristics of development and further consequences. Particular feature of historical events is that their meaning changes with each epoch’s interpretation of it. There were events which contemporary scholars called insignificant and even harmful for the development of their society. On the other hand, representatives of the next generations would consider those events essential for the development of modern social order which is more advanced and democratic than the former one. In other words, history is an interpretative science and it gains new half-color each time scholar from a new epoch looks into ...

Revolution in military

Revolution in military affairs can be attributed to use of new processes and new tools of waging war like system of systems, command and control, as well as network-centric warfare, all driven by information technology. The term “Revolution in Military Affairs” is used to refer to a major shift in the nature of fighting which is as a result of the application of new technologies which adjusts the nature and accomplishment of military actions, when these technologies are pooled with organizational and operational concepts as well as vivid changes in military doctrine, (Theodor, 1995, pp.3-9).
The concept of revolution in ...

Hundreds of people pass away on the daily basis because of gunshots and about three times of these people get severely injured. Thousands of families are destroyed; fractured bones and hearts broken are a result of gun violence. If wounds and disabilities resulting from guns were characterized as a disease, it would have been viewed as a widespread problem across the globe. Although, human beings are the creator of this weapon, guns are obviously not good for health of human beings. The incidents occurring around the world due to gun violence are of different types.

Management and the Organization Theory
Question 1: In order to boost the morale of the workers and consequently increase the quality of output, a change in the culture of the organization becomes my priority as a manager once I am offered the job. Firstly, involvement of the workers and supervisors in setting goals, objectives and targets of the firm will help to make them feel recognized hence building their morale. Once the workers are back to the required standards, I will involve them in setting a code of ethics and quality control schemes so that each member of the firm knows ...

Managerial Implications of Employee Engagement

Employee engagement is a world’s leading force responsible for increasing employees’ productive levels in addition to driving increased outcomes. Equally, top-performing organizations rely heavily on employees to realize performance goals and growth. Other than organization-related benefits, employee engagement also plays a fundamental role in enhancing customer loyalty thereby leading the creation of enormous profits. Successful businessperson, Sir Richard Branson of Virgin Atlantic, admit that making Virgin into a worldwide brand involved making employees a top-priority instead of prioritizing shareholders. Many a person has argued that employee engagement is a fundamental factor in influencing organizational performance, attitudes, values, and customer relationships. However, it is emphatically ...

Any historical event has numerous interpretations and judgments of a certain time. American history is not an exception; it is full of important events which were definitely changing the country and nation. There is probably no more important and arguable event in the American history than the Civil War as a result of colonial societies’ existence for a century of common history. In this context, of particular importance are origins of the war and how each epoch interpreted them. In the previous times, the main reason for the war was definitely slavery as a symbol of social inequality and an obstacle for the ...

This essay explores the dialogue On Liberty by Mill in relation to the Communist Manifesto by Mark and Engels. On Liberty can be understood through the lenses of his autobiography. According to Mill, On Liberty revolves around giving human beings full measure of freedom to “expand itself in innumerable and conflicting directions” (Gray 6) Mill believed in the absolute freedom of human nature. In this regard, he rejected any attempts to limit the behavior and opinion of human beings in the name of social pressure and coercion. Despite his belief in the totality of freedom, Mill observed that coercion ...

“Mulatto” is a play written by Langston Hughes in the thirties of the previous century. The play explores the issues of the race such as lynching and miscegenation as well as the tragedy of family relationships between father and son during a difficult and controversial period in the social relations in America. The author received the national reputation of a dramatist due to the performance of “Mulatto” in 1935 by Martin Jones on Broadway. The play appealed to the public of Broadway because it examined the theme of tragic mulatto that symbolized the failure of the myth of egalitarianism. ...

“Gender is actually central to the constitution and practice of international policies.” Marysia Zalewski

Historically the international relations (IR) have been overwhelmingly dominated by the male politicians. Therefore, in the dominant Western culture patriarchy and its natural corollary masculinity has been the undisputed norm in politics. The aggressive masculine image of the ideal macho male politician is deeply etched in the collective psyche of the entire Western civilization and culture. However, in the present day post-modern, post industrial West the dominance of the man in the domestic and the international arena has been under stringent scrutiny, and in certain instances under open frontal attack by the vocal feminists. Today there are no two ...

Recent researches indicate that there has been a great stride in women advocacy and right. However, despite this, violence against women as well as girls continues to rise (CEDAW, 2015).

The end of World War II has introduced an era where human rights were not only appreciated, but also considered inherited entitled. They were addressed by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was adopted by the U.N. General Assembly, as part of the International Bill of Human Rights, in December, 1948 (United Nations). According to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 9, no person should be subjected to “arbitrary arrest, detention or exile” (United Nations).

Argumentative essay on the nature and evidence of professional skills

Introduction
There are skills needed for one to be successful in their profession. Certificates alone do not prove one worthy of acquiring a job.

These skills include; behavior management, communication skills, building relationships, decision making, leadership, advocating and negotiating for oneself ,boundary enforcement, work-life balance and career management and planning (Caprino, 2012). The three top skills among these required for a ...

Introduction

For a long period, Christians and atheists continue to maintain conflicting perceptive about the existence of God. Consequently, this issue triggers unending debates. The argument about the existence of God does not simply entail sensory proof. This is because universal perception is a determinant of what will be accepted as proof in the first place. In order to be certain in either side of argument, there is need for evidence. Theorists provide conflicting perspectives in support of atheism and existence of God. Christians derive their source of proof from biblical writings. However, these sources receive disqualification from atheists as mere theoretical ...

Introduction

Corporate governance in strategic management entails a framework of rules and regulations with which the management uses to enhance accountability and transparency in dealing with the company’s stakeholder relationships. Stakeholders of the company include shareholders, suppliers, employees, management, the community, and the government. Each stakeholder has its own set of rights and expectations from the day-to-day activities of the business.

On the day Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated on June 28th, 1914 in Sarajevo, it could not have been known to anyone alive at the time how vast the scale of consequences would become. But the balance of power among the European nations had been offset in recent years and decades due to various events that placed various pressures on the nations involved and set the stage for the large European conflict that was to come. While the war was certainly by no means inevitable, the rising pressures within the various nations as well as increasing pressure between the ...

Today, the United Nations is an organization in a period of transition. It was an organization born from fear of the future, with lofty goals and soaring aspirations. However, from the beginning, the United Nations faced many logistical problems with fulfilling its goals and central philosophies. The United Nations (UN) was designed to replace the League of Nations, the international organizational body that was formed in the post-World-War-I era (Annan, 2000). After the League of Nations failed to stop World War II, the organization was dissolved in 1945 and the United Nations was formed (Annan, 2000).

Introduction
The concept of the existence of God spans throughout all existing religions in the world. Divinity centered on a supreme being became the main reference point of different people across various cultures in explaining particular phenomena that has found difficult elucidation. Several concepts of God are apparent in the way different religious bodies manifest their beliefs. Yet, arguments assailing the existence of God continue to be prevalent, alongside variations on how numerous religions conceive God. Up to what extent is the concept of the existence of God controversial? This study seeks to ...

Burma (Myanmar) currently has the largest number of child soldiers in the world. This number is expected to increase exponentially, given the most recent unrest in that part of the world due to religious conflicts between Buddhists and Muslims. This fighting arose between the Rohingya Muslims and the Rakhine Buddhists in June 2012, and erupted once more after the reelection of the President on the 21st of October. Many of the rebel groups put to use child labor and child soldiers in carrying out their illegal activities.

Child Labor

For many societies, child labor was part of life. Many families viewed ...

In What Ways Can a Classical Realist Be Critical of Waltz’s Neorealism?

The international political playing field has long been rife with commentary and criticism: the sheer nature of every country being independent of others in their politics but are still wholly dependent on others for their security (war and economy are but two factors reliant on other nations). Classical realism and Waltz’s Neorealism are two such theories which comment on international relations and attempt to explain the behaviour of individual states within the global perspective. Both relate directly to the Realism Movement, which dictates having a realistic approach which prioritizes the national interest over ideology and moral concerns (Moseley). Political ...

Women have been involved in combat for longer than many individuals realize. For centuries they have been the backbone and the support behind the troops of many nations. Women have undergone dangerous missions and been placed into life-threatening circumstances quite often. Unfortunately their role has always been seen as supportive, never as combatants. The role of women in combat is changing from passive support to active participant.

There are concerns that go beyond the leaderships qualities that may or may not have
