Encountering Conflict Essay #1
“It is through conflict that our true nature is revealed.”
Humans will always encounter conflict to the day we die and have had experienced what happens to society, when conflict develops. Conflict displays how ourselves’ experience changes and when we are striving to survive how we will influence other people to pursue the hope of surviving. An understanding of the nature of conflict is acquired through close study of the extraordinary story ‘The Rugmaker of Mazar-E-Sharif’ written by Najaf Mazari and Robert Hillman as well as the confronting story of ‘Persepolis’ created by Mariane Satrapi. These texts reveal that inner conflict can be catalyzed by conflict with the environment or others however an awareness of one’s strengths and weaknesses can arise as a result of encountering this type of conflict.
Conflict always escalates large enough to affect individuals, physically and mentally, with mixing positive and negative emotions towards society and their strong views and beliefs. If it is as minor as a dispute over ideas, to as big as individuals terrorizing a village for strong beliefs of religion. Conflict will not halt until lives are lost and the strongest of individuals fall. This can be determined from violence which was the decision chosen in World War 2 by Adolf Hitler, who was a German Dictator that ruled Germany from 1935 – 1945. Hitler’s decision of killing so many Jewish people was that he claimed that the Jews were a morally and culturally corrupting influence, in the Great Depression. As a result he gassed and killed six million Jewish individuals, which caused a great deal of conflict in survival and beliefs rapidly deteriorate for Jews. However, as found Mazari and Hillman’s story, the story presents the main character Najaf Mazari, a man that resolves conflict non-violently. If it is avoiding or hiding from the Taliban that protects his family and himself, it is the action and behaviour he strives to follow.
