Conflicts originate from different sources and contain different qualities. Different conflicts, therefore, may require different approaches, and be more or less difficult to resolve. The following is a list of conflict types and their sources:<\/p>\n

For example, a situation may provoke fears about change, loss, or being controlled. The same situation may provoke a belief that rights have been violated. Depending on the situation and our reaction to it, we may perceive the conflict as a communication breakdown, a conflict between values, or both.
