You're body can take the rigors of physical training and you're body will recover from injury, but what you take from an experience such as WWI stays strong in your mind. Erich Remarque's book titled All Quiet on the Western Front uncovers the harsh reality of war. Of course the tragedy that comes with war cannot be understood unless you have experienced it first hand but in his book, Remarque tries to portray the life of a German Soldier. There are a few different possible messages that the author, Erich Remarque, is trying to convey. I think the most obvious message is that the life of German soldiers was more horrifying than you might think.
I will then go on to look at minimising conflict using a recognised technique and how the adverse effects can be minimised. Causes and Explanation Because there are a variety of personalities within the work place it is inevitable that there will be conflict at some point and this could be for any number of reasons; * Different Personal Values; at some point you may be asked to complete a task that conflicts with your ethical standards. When work conflicts with personal values conflict can arise very quickly and this can be overcome by trying not to ask people to do tasks that you know will cause them distress due to their beliefs/values. * Unpredictable Policies: When rules or policies change within the workplace and those changes are not communicated clearly, confusion and conflict can occur. It is essential to inform people of changes and why these changes are happening as when you are aware of why something is being altered you are much more likely to accept it.
Conflicts in Group Communication A conflict in group communication can be dissimilarity in character, a difference in view, a misinterpretation or a challenge. These reasons cause conflicts among group members and although we all can distinguish and have encountered conflict it can be difficult to figure out and deal with. Conflict is articulated, formed, and controlled throughout communication. There are many grounds for conflicts and many reasons in which group members make use of communication to extract conflict. Group communication can be a factor to conflict however there are group members viewpoints in relation to conflict can fluctuate depending on the routine they use to deal with conflict.
The decisions the creature makes out of his suffering, or his characterization, show that one may not overcome suffering. The creature is also turned away without being taught a thing and suffers from the confusion over the world. The conflicts with Victor continue on multiple occasions in Frankenstein. Once the creature learns that it is his appearance that causes people to flee and reject him, he despises himself, but even more Victor. His suffering over his rejection in society had fueled his angry making him hostile.
An individual's true character is shown when they encounter conflict. Whether spiritual, emotional, physical, personal, mental, or familial, conflict always presents a person choices and decisions to make. The reality of conflict presents itself in birth and even in death. Conflict is an inevitable part of life and often, an individual's true character is highlighted during the encounter. However, there are cases when an individual's character is not only identified at conflict but rather redefined or changed by it.
O'Brien's extract conveys to the readers the contradictory feelings that war evokes in a person. War can be seen in different perspectives and can be felt with many different emotions. The author describes war as astonishing; an adjective rarely used in the general opinion. But O'Brien has seen and felt first hand, and writes that war makes you grow up and learn about yourself as a person. You learn to value life in those desperate moments where death comes close.
People are born to conflict. Many people experience some form of conflict daily. These conflicts may range from minor problems to disastrous events. Conflicts can bring people closer together or push them further apart. Since conflict has a permanent place in our lives, it is important to learn how to deal with different conflicts.
The Iliad still has much to say about war, even as it is fought today. It tells us that war is both the bringer of renown to its young fighters and the destroyer of their lives. It tells us about post-conflict destruction and chaos; about war as the great reverser of fortunes. It tells us about the age-old dilemmas of fighters compelled to serve under incompetent superiors. It tells us about war as an attempt to protect and preserve a treasured way of life.
Owen starts the second stanza with an ironic ‘merry.’ The war front was not a happy place, but a place filled with intense pain and death. In the next line Owen exposes reality of how ‘death becomes absurd and life absurder’ and how soldiers lost all morality and became desensitised as they felt no ‘remorse of murder.’ The soldiers were trained to be mindless tools of their government as they did what they were ordered to do without questioning the morality of what they were instructed to do. Owen personifies fear as something which can be ‘dropped off’. Fear can be paralysing which can be disastrous for a soldier. ‘Behind the barrage, dead as my platoon’
External Factors Create Meursault's Main Conflict After our discussion about The Stranger written by Albert Camus, I strongly agree with your point that the main character Meursault, has conflicts defining life differently from the majority of the society. For instance, in the book, During Maman's funeral, while everyone cries and weeps, Meursault acts like a stranger and feels nothing for his mother's death. However, Meursault becomes irritated when he sees others cry. We can conclude that Meursault's perception of life and society contradicts to that of normal people because only external environment can influence him. Also, his emotions and his beliefs oppose to the philosophies in both contemporary and modern American society.
