	Conflict diamonds
		On 1 December 2000, the United Nations General Assembly adopted, unanimously, a resolution on the role of diamonds in fuelling conflict, breaking the link between the illicit transaction of rough diamonds and armed conflict, as a contribution to prevention and settlement of conflicts (A/RES/55/56).
		In Angola and Sierra Leone, conflict diamonds continue to fund the rebel groups, the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA) and the Revolutionary United Front (RUF), both of which are acting in contravention of the international community's objectives of restoring peace in the two countries.
		Conflict diamonds are diamonds that originate from areas controlled by forces or factions opposed to legitimate and internationally recognized governments, and are used to fund military action in opposition to those governments, or in contravention of the decisions of the Security Council.

	Coser - Functions of Social Conflict (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Whether social conflict is beneficial to internal adaptation or not depends on the type of issues over which it is fought as well as on the type of social structure within which it occurs.
		Whether internal conflict promises to be a means of equilibration of social relations or readjustment of rival claims, or whether it threatens to "tear apart," depends to a large extent on the social structure within which it occurs.
		In realistic conflict, there exist functional alternatives with regard to the means of carrying out the conflict, as well as with regard to accomplishing desired results short of conflict; in non- realistic conflict, on the other hand, there exist only functional alternatives in the choice of antagonists.

	UNDERSTANDING CONFLICT. VIOLENCE, AND WAR: COMPARATIVE CONFLICT
		Conflict may occasionally spread across such a society, but the freedom to remove political elites and influence public policy, and the conflict defusing function of competitive political parties, provide mechanisms for bargaining and compromise far short of revolutionary violence.
		Marx's emphasis on conflict, classes, and their relationship to the state and social change, is a powerful perspective shared by the conflict helix.
		The perspective on conflict as a helix is a dynamic view that is related to the process theories of Pitirim Sorokin, Karl Marx, Chalmers Johnson, and Lewis Fry Richardson.

		Conflicts also arise when one party refuses to accept the fact that the other party holds something as a value rather than a preference.

	About Conflict
		Conflicts occur when people (or other parties) perceive that, as a consequence of a disagreement, there is a threat to their needs, interests or concerns.
		Although conflict is a normal part of organization life, providing numerous opportunities for growth through improved understanding and insight, there is a tendency to view conflict as a negative experience caused by abnormally difficult circumstances.
		Collaborative approaches to conflict management require us to engage in the moment of dialogue in profound and meaningful ways, so it is understandable if we tend to avoid such situations until the balance of wisdom tips in favor of negotiation.

	Psych 200 Unit 10 Module 1
		Easily resolved conflicts are said to be in unstable equilibrium: as soon as the person moves toward one of the alternatives, the conflict disappears.
		The avoidance-avoidance conflict situation is a stable equilibrium in which a movement away from one goal is countered by an increase in the repellence of the other goal so that the individual returns to the point where he was at the beginning of the conflict.
		In an approach-avoidance conflict situation, then, there is a point (somewhat predictable in rats) where, as the goal is approached, the relative strengths of approach and avoidance are about equal.

	Treating Core Conflict Problems
		In prolonged and escalated conflicts, distrust is inevitable, and it significantly hampers the ability of the parties to negotiate even a partial solution to their problems.
		The ultimate goal of conflict transformation is reconciliation--a return to normal relations between disputing groups where each side accepts the legitimacy of the other's identity and aspirations, apologizes for and forgives the other for past aggressive or violent acts.
		By helping people involved in conflicts better understand what is going on and what options they have for dealing with their problems in constructive ways, it is possible to provide lasting assistance which will have impact far beyond any outside conflict resolution intervention.
