Why is CONFLICT important?

Without conflict, there is no story: no TV shows, movies, radio dramas, comics, novels… and life would be boring.

The storyline happens due to the conflict. Conflict is introduced in the rising action. Change happens at the turning point. Conflict is faced head-on during the

climax. Conflict begins to work itself out during

the falling action. Conflict is resolved during the resolution. This homework is worth 10 quizzes. Each

quiz is numbered.

1. INTERNAL CONFLICT There is only one type of internal conflict.

1

MAN vs. SELF

The character(s) struggle happens in their own mind(s). This may be a choice between right and wrong, or

related overcoming emotions or mixed feelings.

The character fights against social traditions, rules, values, beliefs, or ways of doing something.

This can be used to comment on positive or negative aspects of real society (satire)

New concepts learned What new stuff did you learn when you

did this assignment?I learned the different type of

conflicts with my own understanding. And I am able to insert a different selfies that will indicate the different types of conflicts based on my understanding.

NEW INPUTS8

This reminds me of… Connect the new stuff you learned to

events in your own life.Like the picture I use in the conflict

“man vs. nature”, there is an effect of what I do before it happens. I can connect it to my life when I usually say a words to my neighbors without thinking the feelings that they possible to feel. Maybe they will feel hurt or glad but there are effects in them.

CONNECTIONS9

Usefulness in real situations How can you use what you have learned in

some situations in your own life?Maybe, I can use it by understanding

and respecting others insight. Because sometimes, there are things that our opinions are not the same. Like my classmates last 1st sem. Our president is so responsible but my other classmates said that he/she is a bossy type. So I think, we need to listen each others opinions and respect it.
