People across the globe pursue various goals to meet their needs and interests but, in the process, disadvantage each other. That inconvenience created from incompatible drive towards individual goals leads to the build-up in energy reflecting as conflict. Conflict arises whenever individuals have different values, opinions, needs, interests and are unable to find a middle way.
