In my opinion, there are a lot of reasons why people have conflicts in their family. At first, if we speak about wives and husbands, there can be different reasons of their quarrels. For example, a wife wants her husband to, earn more money; she thinks that she herself works a lot and her husband doesn’t help her by the house. Sometimes people just don’t understand each other, they don’t speak one language. Usually such pairs have absolutely different view of life and they split up in several years. A lot of conflicts can happen when people just don’t love or respect each other and they live together just because of a habit. Besides these reasons there are a lot of more, which are different in every family.
If speaking about quarrels between parents and children, there is usually only one reason. It is generation gap. Children grow up and want to look attractive and respectful in their friends’ eyes, they want to try different styles of clothes and hair, to listen to popular music, etc. But their parents often can’t understand why their children wear torn jeans or pierce their navels. It often happens that in such situation both parents and children behave in a wrong way. They just shout and quarrel, but don’t try to listen and to talk to each other.
Sometimes parents think that their children are too lazy, that they don’t want to study well, don’t do anything by the house and so on.
We can avoid family conflicts if we will just try to understand other people but not only think of ourselves.
Of course, a lot of conflicts happen also in political life. Usually slates just have different opinions on one subject and they both think that they are right. When one country just wants to get another one’s territory and all its natural resources, it just tries to conquer it and begins the war. But in my opinion this method is too old-fashioned, as nowadays states can solve conflicts by peaceful negotiations without physical force.
We should begin to solve the problem of conflicts from ourselves. We should learn to understand other people, listen and respect their opinion even if they are not right. All people are absolutely different. But it doesn’t mean, that some of us are better and the others are worse. It just means that we all are equal. That’s why we should learn to live in peace, appreciate and respect each other. We shouldn’t just divide people into groups because some of them are poor, some are rich, some are hardworking and some are lazy. We all have positive and negative features of our character, that’s why we can’t say that somebody is bad or good. And to understand each other we should learn to see other people’s positive features and not to point at negative ones.
