Chapter 1 conflict

I believe that conflict is not something we are born with but it is a big focus in our lives. The focus is/was on "me." If something is done to us we get defensive about the situation and that's where the arguing comes about. It also has to do with seeing grown ups fighting or arguing about something. I used to watch General Hospital with my grandma as she was babysitting me; although I was young I would see the disagreements on the show; and the two characters won't talk to each other for a while. Then as I got older, grownups would fight I put the two together; so I don't feel like we are born with conflict; I believe it is something that we as people adapt to as we get older; also because there are rules in our society that we have to follow; like when your a kid and steal gum from the store you will not know that's wrong because kids just grab everything; it isn't until parents say, "no put that back!" that kids realize its wrong. On one last note this concept becomes instinctive once we learn the whole process to it. Once we are adapted to it then we start using the concept.
