Hocker and Wilmot / Conflict Mapping - Comprehensive Assessment Guides- by NA
Conflict assessment is the process of systematic collection of information about the dynamics of a conflict. The guides stress open-ended, participant-based data as the path to specifying conflict processes. Such approaches are particularly useful for third parties such as intervention agents and students wishing to study a particular conflict. As a party to the conflict, one can use the guides to collect information from himself or herself and the other party about the conflict. In either case, one needs to use primary information from the parties -for they are the ones who created and maintain the conflict.

The Purpose of Conflict- by Phil Wamsley
In the dictionary conflict is defined as a struggle, a battle. Mutual antagonism. Some people seem to thrive on creating conflict while others will do their best to avoid conflict. I have often pondered what it would be like in the world if everybody could just get along without all the nonsense of conflict. In order that everyone get along in the world everyone would have to be a clone of yourself.
