Structural conflict: This is built into our social structure and results from differences that are created because our various cultures place us in DIFFERENT categories such as gender, TRIBE, race, and class.At the societal level, structural conflict leads to real conflict by creating mistrust among the different categories of people, leading to problems such as ethnic/racial violence. Unfortunately, sometimes we import this conflict into our relationships. This week, we will look at some of the key areas this conflict happens and how we can deal with it.INBUILT CONFLICTIn theoretical TERMS, there is conflict in any system. Think of a car engine as a system. It does not need an external agent to go haywire; sometimes it just acts up.Likewise, in our relationships, the potential for conflict based on how we are socially and culturally wired is ALWAYS there. Every SMALL difference between us is a potential source of conflict. It is how we choose to deal with it at the personal level that makes a whole world of a difference.
