Essays on Conflict.

The Second Sino-Japanese war was a conflict between the military forces of China and Japan which lasted 1937 to 1945, following the first Sino-Chinese war of 1895. It has been claimed by some historians that were it not for military and economic assistance or support from the allied forces and states of United States, Germany, and Britain, Japan would have won the war even before it began. However, this was not to be as Japan was forced to surrender after the US-led troops dropped atomic bombs one of its cities, Hiroshima in 1945. This second Sino-Japanese is considered to ...

The conflict, in this case, involved two employees, one has just completed one month on the job, David, and a transferee from another department. The standard of conflict involved here is a personal one. The organization puts a special consideration whenever a conflict involves members of different gender. As such, the mediation involves different gender personalities.

The fiery personality of Judy could be the reason towards the conflict. However, David also has an outspoken character, which could prove problematic. The parties involved engage in a collaborative style of solving differences (Sourcesofinsight.com, 2011). Although an accommodating style would have worked, ...

I concur that there are many theories upon which professionals may base their strategies in conflict resolution. Fundamentally, it is good for the concerned parties to recognize the presence of differences that may need arbitration. Arbitration is among the proven ways of solving conflict especially if the parties come with a strategy with the help of the mediator. As you have noted, the mediator does not need to suggest ways of working out the differences but facilitate the reconciliation process. Besides that, it is essential that the counselors separate the people from the problems because mixing the two hinders ...

People do not like to listen. People like to talk. They especially like to talk about themselves and what they think. People also do not like to be told they are wrong. These statements are not universal but are broadly true for most people in most situations. More to the point, if someone has made it to the point where they require mediation or conflict resolution it is a safe assumption that these statements can be accurately applied to them. Similarly, most people are bad at arguing. Many people who are bad at making arguments still enjoy doing so ...

The present world has been developed as a result of a large number of past events and occurrences. All through the past two hundred years, the world has seen a number of wars, disturbances, moments that have created the so called present world. The initial phase for the upbringings saw both a constructive and destructive phase. Thousands of people were killed in all parts of the world while many countries were conquered by the powerful nations. In the same period, some of the countries emerged as the major powers of the world. The most powerful nation that emerged out during that phase that ...

Impact of Technology on the Military The American civil war was fought from 1861 to 1865 in many different locations around the USA. Approximately, six hundred thousand soldiers died in the war. In that war between the Union and confederacy, it was the union states that won the battle. The secession of the southern states was due to the differences in ideologies between the slave and free states (Lovelace, 1997). The major forms of weapons used during the American civil war were smoothbore cannons, rifled cannons; crude forms of grenades, and ironclads were also used for naval battles. ...

One of the longest wars that America has involved itself in was the Vietnam War. This war, which took place between 1959 and 1979, was a prolonged struggle between the United States and North Vietnamese nationalist forces who were trying to unite the country under a single communist government. Unlike many wars where America has emerged victorious, the nation was however defeated in this war and communism took over in Vietnam. Many Americans opposed the war and today, this war is often used as benchmark of what America ought not to do when it comes to foreign conflicts. In my efforts ...

J.J. Abrams’ serialized television drama LOST follows the stories of a group of survivors of a violent airplane crash on a deserted island, stuck without any hope of rescue and beholden to the mysterious forces that govern their new home. In its pilot episode, the filmmakers of LOST firmly establish the recurring theme of good vs. evil that establishes the characters’ journeys in their island setting. This is done through a combination of visual motifs, symbolism, and character moments juxtaposed through flashbacks and editing. Throughout the course of the pilot, the flaws, alignments and attitudes of the characters are weighed against a sense of ...

Ghana and Nigeria are two adjoining African states, which have achieved so much based on economic growth. There are great similarities between the economies of these two countries. This is so because they are the primary producer at about the same stage of development based on per capita income. In both countries, agriculture accounts the greatest percentage in the GDP because they depend significantly on the export of agriculture products. Therefore, external trade plays an equally important part of the economies of the two countries. However, the political stability and proper governance have been the key driver of economic ...

The period between 1756 and 1763 in America comprised of a New World Conflict which was part of the long struggle between France and Britain, which had started nearly a century earlier in 1689. The seven-year war began after France expanded into the Ohio River, which was at the middle of British and French territory. Boosted by the funding of William Pitt, the future Prime Minister, the British turned the war into their favor with major victories at the French stronghold, Quebec, Fort Frontenac and Louisburg.in 1763, the British further obtained the territories of Florida from Spain and Canada from France. ...

Thesis: Currently, America’s capability to intervene in international issues as world police is questioned considering the ongoing strife within the failed states of Iraq and Syria due to the presence of both insurgent forces and oppressive dictators. If America utilizes military force in these areas, there is a possibility these states would not be able to recover, and it may be seen as an indirect form of American expansion in the Middle East. - After the Civil War, America has believed in foreign interventionism in order to prevent war, terror and as a means to introduce international law and ...

The main arguments that the President of the United States has turned into an imperial presidency include the understanding that while staff numbers continue increasing, most people take up appointments. This is especially with reference to those individuals with personal loyalty to people at office of president and not eligible to the approval or control from external sources outside. A comprehensive scope of drastic advisory bodies emerged around presidency while most of them complemented the lead cabinet functions with cabinet facing a decline in its level of influence. Vivid examples of this include Office of Management, Budget, and National Security ...

Thesis: As of the present time, the absence of democracy and Western ideals of peace in areas such as Ukraine and North Korea emphasizes a possibility of America failing to act as a global police because one move they make may be read differently by the opposing side and declare war, which America is trying to prevent. - Since the end of the Cold War, the United States had been active to stop the onset of war or conflict in highly tensed nations which were either marred by terrorism or the lack of democracy under the Wilsonian foreign policy made ...

As the adage goes, that a picture is worth a thousand words, and so does the image. The image presents and depicts many themes that range from poverty and torture among woman and children as a result of natural or manmade disasters such as war and violence. The image makes it easy to explain and analyze how war, poverty and suffering are related and dependent on each other especially to the most vulnerable in the community that include women and children (Rwomire 14). The image is of a young woman with her kid of Asian origin cooking in an open place using firewood. ...

Cyber space deals with artificial manmade machines and technology. Therefore, this will require system analysis, tests and checks to ascertain they are working in order (Gourley 1). One cannot just believe that they will work okay. If there is a fault, the system will definitely malfunction..

The various devices in cyberspace may be at risk of being compromised in terms of security. Measures need to be put in place to separate any device that is compromised and ensure their interactions with the rest of the cyberspace system are stopped (Gourley 1).

The enemy is always on the lookout for any ...

The 21st century has recorded radical social transformation; with various significant events that have often left lasting legacy. Smaller and fewer social changes during the modern century have triggered rebellions, spiritual crises, civil wars and violent intellectual.

Raising children can be a significant challenge for parents. Many times, despite how they predict they will react, adults do not know how they will actually respond to specific situations until they are confronted with them. A common conflict that occurs between parents when rearing a child is whether or not it is acceptable to argue with your spouse in front of your child. There are many variables to take into account while making this decision. Not all parents consider all of these variables; some think it is okay to argue in front of children and will not damage them or ...

Basically, human systems in the world can be said to be a multidisciplinary approach which puts into consideration various aspects and evaluates them in the history of the world. It addresses the various changes that have taken place overtime that is social changes, economic changes, cultural changes as well as political changes (Jones, pg199).

The Just War Theory is a doctrine developed by Christians to determine whether the war is just. A number of criteria are used to determine whether the war is morally justifiable. The war is considered just if it satisfies a series of criteria. The Just War Theory has two parts which include: Jus ad bellum (conditions where war is justifiable) and Jus in Bello (conducting war in an ethical way). Jus ad bellum concerns whether it is moral to go to war while Jus in Bello concerns moral conduct expected in war (Jean, 2004). There is need to add a third part: ...

News organizations around the globe would always report instances of violence from households due to misunderstandings to the battlefield due to political, religious or social undertakings. In lieu of these violent conflicts, several methods have been applied to try to diffuse the tensions and introduce peace such as negotiations, armed conflict and treaties. However, while these methods can be effective at times, some companies believe that there is no need to undergo the grueling political dealings to foster peace. In order to sell both their products and advocate peace, companies use television advertisements to show that their products can ...

Report on 3 different cultures within Australia Australia is an ethnically diverse society owing to its history. Indeed, one out of four residents of Australia were born outside the country while many others are either first or second generation Australia in the sense that they are either children or grandchildren of migrants and refugees in Australia. This identity of Australian people is due to the convergence of various factors. Similarly, the presence of various ethnic communities in the society has led to a multicultural society in the country. In essence, the culture of the people of Australia is a western ...

Armed conflicts in the recent past have been at the back of escalating living costs, which are affecting human well-being. This is through the measures in health spending, per capita income, political system type, income distribution inequality, women’s education, and urbanization.

The price that is paid for poverty does not just affect the poor, it affects are paid for by the society in which that poverty exists. In any society that has poverty, the most vulnerable victims of that poverty are children, who are subject to live in the situations that they were born into. On a micro level, children growing up in impoverished conditions will carry emotional scars, which limit them throughout their adult lives. On the macro level, society will be harmed at various levels due to the prevalence of poverty within their societies. As will be outlined in ...

Diversity refers to the practice of understanding, acknowledging, accepting, celebrating and valuing differences among people with regard to class, ethnicity, age, physical and mental prowess, gender, race, sexual orientation, religion and public assistance status (Green, López, Wysocki and Kepner, 2013). In the current global scenario when the driving forces of globalization like communication, transportation, advent of technologies, transnational companies and internet have diminished boundaries, the work place environment has become extremely diverse with people of various cultures, beliefs and backgrounds interacting with each other on a daily basis on account of work and business. The demography in USA has ...

In furtherance of its role of re-affirming faith in fundamental human rights which include but not limited to freedom not to be held in slavery or servitude, freedom from being treated in inhumanly and other forms of oppression. The United Nations Charter in Article 1 encapsulates the need to maintain international peace and security. It provides the means to this end by expressly stating that some of the effective measures that can aid nations in this war against violence, aggression and breach of peace for secure and safe co-existence is by inter alia developing friendly relations among different the ...

U.S history is full of various victories, changes, and many developments that were just possible through persistent struggle.

However the German Reich encountered several problems during its time that eventually led to its collapse. The country not only witnessed serious political problems but social ones as well. Majority of the population was against the authoritarian rule of the monarchy but the handlers of the empire ensured power did not slip out of their hands through whatever means. Several domestic problems faced the country with civil unrest, the threat posed by the ...

After comprehensive evaluation of the implication of public sector unionization and collective bargaining, we find that these public sector employees were undercompensated than being overcompensated. This calculation also takes into account modest overpayment as low skill and educational level, and modest underpayment at high skill and educational level. Next, it can be inferred that public sector bargaining units have worked well in reducing strikes and in achieving equitable outcomes. Though, care should be taken such that the arbitration process does not take long enough to cause hardship to parties involved. Regarding a response to financial crisis, there are several ...

Cooper in, “Applying the Design Approach to Public Administrative Ethics” and in “the Conclusion” examines the application of ethics in public administration. On the other hand, Gawthrop in, The Moral Dimension of Democracy, examines the application of morals and ethical frameworks in the secular societies. The two authors in one sense look at the separation of the moral from the legal. In one way, the message communicated in their arguments is that while morality may not necessarily be legal, it is necessarily for purposes of complimenting the law. This line of argument restates the initial one by Cooper as ...

A typical morning in the house of two working parents with young children starts with stress. The person who takes the responsibility of daily chores of everyone getting ready, packing food for the day, breakfast and reaching their destination is under stress. In any culture across the world mothers feel obligated to complete everything to perfection at the home front. In the case of working mothers, the additional demands of job responsibilities compound the day. It has been proven that working mothers are under stress due to these dual roles of homemaker and office employee (J.Williams, 1999). Such stresses ...

Introduction The Chinese culture is regarded as among the oldest in the world. Its 4,000 years old civilization has established a nation that has the most distinctive features. From the ancient formation of Chinese culture until today, conflicts have largely contributed to the shaping of a country that is regarded today as an emerging global economic superpower. The capability of any Chinese citizen to cope up with emerging conflicts is a skill that was forged by the culture of oppression from Mongolian invasion during the ancient times and the Chinese reformation during the time of Mao Zedong in 1949.

A dispute among workers was the main problem that I had to solve for which there was no clear solution. This is due to involvement of other people, and where there behavior as well as decisions highly impacted the solution to the problem. Although it took a lot of time to solve the problem, it was finally settled by clearly guiding the workers of the company’s expectations from each one of them, and educating the workers on conflict handling styles. This required a lot of critical and creative thinking on educating the workers. This was because the seniors thought that ...

- Introduction Chinese and Japanese cultures have overlapped in practically all characteristics including political, cultural, business, and technological despite their immense historical differences dating back centuries. Yet their demonstrations of business characteristics are expressed diversely that their historical concepts of collectivism and individualism have often paralleled. Interestingly Chinese and Japanese business is extensively culturally driven by different reasoning even they seek the same result, but from different approaches even though they are geographically in close proximity of each other. Similarly as to how many ancient civilizations began, China and Japan have long histories of similar empirical rulership and ...

Socio-political conflicts often give rise to civil unrest or civil war. A number of countries that have plunged in civil war often depend on foreign aid as a response to humanitarian needs. Arguably, since the population is in civil conflict, the nation may not have time to concentrate on economic activities. The consequences war includes civilian casualties that are in need of humanitarian assistance and lack of economic development among other factors. A considerable number of studies seem to point on both positive and negative consequence of foreign aid in peace and war (Kang and Meernik 147). A school of ...

In Diminished Democracy: From Membership to Management in America Civic Life by Theda Skocpol the role of civic associations in previous decades is discussed. In the second Chapter, How The UInited States Became A civic Nation, notes that the American Civic creativity traces its roots to the voluntary organization of the American people. This was enhanced by the dispersed authority in the American governance and “from dependence on private religious associations to guide the American moral philosophy.” The civic life was encouraged by the social life that was characterized by strong families, tightly knit neighborhoods. These small-scale associations created a sense ...

Not all nations follow the same political and development course. Although that would make subjective evaluations easier, it is not the case and federalism is an example of this. After Marshal Tito retied, Yugoslavia announced a decentralization plan; Belgium and Czechoslovakia are heading towards federation. The federalist government of Pakistan began as an expedient solution to the political discord extant at the close of British imperial control of India. The Hindus and the Muslims united to cast off the British, but then the Muslims demanded to have their own nation. This resulted in two territories geographically separated by a thousand miles ...

Sarros,Copper & Santora(2008) finds that most organizations concentrate in bringing the latest technological infrastructure to transform the procedures of work. In doing so, organizations tend to ignore the workers and organization culture which is the engine that has the most impact. An organization culture depends with the founders of the institution their beliefs and core practices. It is vital for an organization to engage the employees who design products to enable the organization become successful. Leaders’ decision-making criteria affect the behavior of workers.

[Institution Title] The different social structure theories perceives that societal, financial, and social arrangements or social structures are among the prime cause of deviant and criminal behaviors. Given this effect, it has been significantly noted that because of this society is placed at the mercy of it these institutions to help preserve order and help protect the integrity of man’s basic human rights.

In that respect, managing the conflicts is crucial to enhancing organizational performance, and this analysis demonstrates the problem-solving that is involved. To achieve the objective, the analysis uses two cases on employees conflict. The first case relates to a conflict between employees while the second case concerns conflict between employees and the management. In reference to the cases, the analysis identifies the suitable conflict resolution models, leadership qualities as well as ...

War is always a complicated issue, particularly with regards to wars being fought in nations not directly involved in the conflict. Public opinion of their nation entering dramatic conflicts – risking the lives of their citizens and killing others – depends largely on cultural factors that can shift and change depending on history and context. While World War II was a largely well-supported conflict, given the attack on Pearl Harbor and the undisputed evil of the Nazis, the Vietnam War had a decidedly more complex reaction. These anxieties are also reflected in literature; Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five capitalizes on the Vietnam War tension experienced ...

Disease and illness are a source of great fear for many young and old. There are any numbers of diseases that can limit one’s mobility, ability to function, and even strip them of their five senses. However, there are no conditions more frightening to many in the public as those that affect and compromise one’s mind. As we age it is not uncommon for people to forget things here and there, but when it goes beyond minor forgetfulness, but strips a person memories and ability to recognize even their closest loved-ones, it becomes incredibly frightening. Wives and husbands will ...

Throughout history, religion was always the most powerful source of common values in the building of society. It promotes the unity of the humanity, strengthens peace love and friendship amongst people. Besides, the religion has become one more branch of the government and sometimes it is sought to be unfair and disingenuous. The great role is being played by the democracy. You should not be mocked or penalized because of your beliefs and your religious choice. Every democratic constitution protects the right of religion. However, many believers can face disapproval and neglect because of their choice. Actually it ...

Morality is a personal distinction of the right and wrong. What is moral to you might not be moral to a friend, neighbour or even to a family member. Morality is not however equated to ethics. In our readings, we have differentiated the two concepts. While morality is an individual distinction of just and unjust, ethics is a societal standard of right and wrong. For example, bowing to elderly is an ethical standard to most Asian communities but it isn’t in the western communities. An anti-feudal Korean may however find no moral ground for the idea of respect when bowing. Thus, what ...

According to FDU Magazine (1999), three out of every four American workers report stress associated with their employment with the United Nations’ International Labor Organization stating the epidemic is global.

The important concepts of law and justice are necessary foundations that lend legitimacy to a state, in particular and to a society and/or a civilization, in general. Owing to the intrinsic differences in social organizations the concepts of law and justice have varied definitions and approaches in the West and the East. A valid comparison of the Western and the Eastern approaches to these concepts make the comparisons and the contrasts extremely enlightening (Nov 17).

The Western legal culture primarily evolved from the Judeo-Christian sacred texts, the Greek philosophy and logic, and the Germanic-tribal or folk (law) traditions. After 380 AD ...

As long as there is a firm relationship involved in a particular situation, conflicts are unavoidable. It means that both work and personal relationships encounter conflicts. Conflict refers to a situation in which “an individual or group feels negatively affected by another individual or group” (Borkowski, 2011, p. 285). Even though, all professional fields encounter conflicts, the health profession is a notch higher due to excessive regulations, scarce resources, high emotions and stress. However, conflicts have both negative and positive consequences (Borkowski, 2011). As such, it is important for leaders to analyze the nature of the conflict, and thus, choose the most suitable ...

David Hume was a successful philosopher who was social and pleasing to be around. His first book, Treatise of Human Nature, did not receive much attention from people. However, it did not deter him from coming up with his second book, The Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding. The book is a remake of his first book and focuses on building on empirical philosophy done by Locke and Berkeley. The book also attacks Descartes’ metaphysical rationalism as well as others. The book has an argumentative series that has incremental steps, with each chapter containing its logistics and succeeds the previous chapter. The book ...

Classical realism and neo-realism represents the evolution and proliferation of international politics. Even in contemporary times, the political leaders staunchly represent these theories in their practical application of political ideals. This paper is an extensive study of these two forms of realism. It begins by defining realism; then identifies the major differences among these concepts and exemplifies its significance across the world. Finally, a conclusion is drawn by elaborating on contemporary politics and its use/rebuttal of these concepts.

According to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (2013), realism has its foundation in theories proposed by Thucydides, Machiavelli and Hobbes. It is ...

The changes could be either needs-based or demand-based, and whatever the problem is, it arises from necessity to change existing policies and work patterns. When such a situation arises, it is time to negotiate, and negotiations are pursued to ensure a compromise is obtained between the varying factions. The graph below shows how conflicts can be resolved. Graph courtesy bollettinoadapt.unimore.it Organizational conflicts can be because of a number of varying reasons. Some of the most common reasons are ...

Sociology has been linked with the way people live their daily lives. Many scholars have tried to explain the relationship between law and social theory. The most widely known scholars or sociologist who attempted to create a relationship between law and social theory would be. Marx who came with what has commonly come to be referred to Marxism and then mark weber who was a well-known sociologist. Their works had similarities and differences, but their aim in trying to figure out the relationship between law and social relations was similar.Max weber Conferring to weber work in his book economy and ...

John Updike’s ‘A&P’ and Tillie Olsen’s ‘I Stand Here Ironing’ are two short stories that seemingly do not have anything similar, yet they share some themes that form the central core of the stories.
