Conflict in a Separate Peace
Conflict can be said to be a disagreement which is brought about by a threat (real or perceived) to the interests or needs of an individual or group of individuals. When conflict is between several parties, it is referred to as external conflict. However, when the same occurs within an individual, it is referred to as internal conflict.

I also look at how each of the three characters resolved the conflict.
Conflicts Faced by Finny

Conflict Resolution in the Middle East History of the ARAB-ISRAELI conflict The Palestinian Arab and Jews rivalry is of recent origin that started on the eve of 20th century. Even though both of them have different religions the religious diversity is not considered to be the reasons of such rivalry. This is necessarily a struggle over the territory. The territory claimed by both the groups till 1948 was known as Palestine. However,
The European actions against the natives were in error, because they were committed by Protestant Christians, who, unlike Catholics or savages, should have known better and responded with higher forms of faith and feeling. The Indian atrocities were seen as inevitable, the result of "undesigned provocation" (even though Wesley acknowledges that the settlers are interlopers) rather than a response in defense of their land (Ward, 1872). Thus, although the First
