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.

Insert a photo of yourself that

exemplifies this type of conflict.

The photo should be a close-up,

clear, and should fit and fill this

space.

MAN vs. NATURE

A character struggles with a force of nature such as natural disaster, desolation, animal, or any natural element (also called Man VS Environment). This can be a struggle for control, or for survival.

MAN vs. SOCIETY

In this conflict, a character or a group of characters fight against a society or large organization or group.

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)

4

MAN vs. SUPERNATURAL

The character(s) struggle against God, gods, ghosts, monsters, spirits, aliens, fairies, magical or supernatural beings.

New concepts learned What new stuff did you learn when you

did this assignment? I learned that inspite of the persistent

conflict, there can be a challenge and a clear understanding with different a perspective. It can be applied to a number of organizational situations that require individuals to learn from each other despite identity differences.

This reminds me of… Swimming competitions Taking exams Family conflicts

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

in some situations in your own life? The next time my mom scolds me, I will

put in mind that she just wants me to be better.

In the coming WNCAA swimming competition, I will not self-pity, instead, think of it as a glory to God.
