About This Topic

Conflict is a foundational concept in communications studies, examined across courses in interpersonal communication, organizational behavior, international relations, and intercultural dialogue. It describes the tension that arises when individuals, groups, or states pursue incompatible goals, resources, or values. What makes conflict academically compelling is its presence at every scale of human interaction — from disagreements within school systems and organizations to armed struggles between nations — and the ways societies develop or fail to develop mechanisms for managing it.

The papers archived on this topic reflect a genuinely broad range of approaches. Historical and military analyses examine specific armed conflicts such as the Soviet-Afghan War, the Philippine War of 1899–1902, and the American Civil War, asking how and why certain outcomes occurred. Comparative theoretical work sets frameworks like neorealism and neoliberalism against each other to explain interstate behavior. Case studies focus on post-conflict nation-building in Iraq and Afghanistan or ongoing instability in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Other papers shift to interpersonal and institutional settings, exploring organizational conflict, intercultural misunderstanding, and conflict within school systems, while some take a more reflective or ethical angle, addressing forgiveness, reconciliation, and cases like the Tuskegee syphilis study.

A strong essay on conflict begins with a clearly scoped thesis that identifies the type of conflict, the parties involved, and the central argument about its causes, dynamics, or resolution. Evidence carries the most weight when it is specific — drawn from documented events, theoretical frameworks, or concrete case data rather than general assertions. The most common pitfall is treating conflict as inherently negative without analyzing the structural or cultural conditions that produce it, which leads to surface-level conclusions rather than genuine analytical insight.

Terrorism as a weapon of the weak: global jihad myth or reality

Terrorism has become one of the most discussed subjects in terms of international security and in the foreign affairs offices throughout the world. Especially after the 9/11 events in the United States, terrorism has received the label of the most important threat to national security. Both domestic and international terrorism are phenomena that can hardly be tackled with instruments that have been used traditionally during the Cold War in particular when security was established as a special area of expertise. This is largely due to the fact that this threat is an unconventional one and requires unconventional means to counter.

Downton Abbey: Race, Class, and Gender in Historical TV

This essay considers media engagement from a personal perspective, examining the writer's relationship with the television program Downton Abbey. In particular, it discusses how the appeal of Downton Abbey also helps the show mask some of its more problematic ideological issues, such as its treatment of race, gender, and class. While the program touches on these topics, ultimately it uses its representation of history to undermine radical movements by questioning their motives and justifying the unjust power structures that still exist across much of the world.

Race and World War II:

This order explores the intense racial hatred that fed into World War II. The Japanese and the Americans painted a racial stereotype of each other. This then fueled a growing resentment and desire to exterminate the other group, eventually leading to a war without mercy. Great atrocities and even a denial of Constitutional rights through Executive Order No. 9066 were thus allowed to make the war much more difficult and hostile.

Machiavelli's Prince vs. Lao-Tzu's Tao Te Ching: Leadership

Political philosophers often have significant influence on the lives of the commoner's. This is evident from the works of the Italian Machiavelli and Chinese Lao Tzu. Writings from Machiavelli like "The Prince" vary on what people desire to have as a leader they dream to have. Aspects of morality and time are some of the parameters used textually by Machiavelli to define a leader. This varies from Lao Tzu's writings where he adopts the ‘master' kind of leadership. This study identifies how their works are helpful in the existing political situations.
