This course module explores essential concepts surrounding conflict and disagreement. We'll delve into definitions, similarities, and differences between disagreement and conflict, discussing whether one can exist without the other. Students will examine terms such as 'disagreement', which encompasses lack of agreement and diverse opinions, and 'conflict', defined as engagement in opposition or struggle. Through case studies like "Twelve Angry Men," we'll analyze how conflict arises, its sources, and potential resolution strategies, emphasizing their application in broader contexts.
