Q & A

What is social conflict?

Social conflict refers to the relationship between individuals or groups that involves actions of mutual threat or violence. It occurs when conflicting interests or goals arise between parties.

What is a functional conflict?

A functional conflict is a type of conflict that supports the achievement of organizational goals and is constructive. An example is the competition between a school’s Scout organization and OSIS (Student Council), which pushes both groups to improve their performance.

What is a dysfunctional conflict?

A dysfunctional conflict is one that hampers the achievement of organizational goals and is destructive. An example is a conflict over the position of a leader in an organization, which leads to division and even violent clashes.

What is the difference between vertical and horizontal conflicts?

Vertical conflict occurs between different levels or classes within a group, such as workers demanding higher wages while employers resist. Horizontal conflict, on the other hand, occurs between individuals or groups of the same rank or status, like student brawls in school.

What is diagonal conflict?

Diagonal conflict arises within an organization due to the unequal allocation of resources, leading to extreme opposition. An example is the conflict between pilots and management at Garuda Airlines over unequal pay.

What distinguishes open conflict from closed conflict?

Open conflict is known to all parties involved or even the public, such as the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine. Closed conflict, however, is only known to the parties directly involved, such as wage discrepancies between local and foreign workers within a company.

What is the difference between spontaneous and sustained conflict?

Spontaneous conflict occurs quickly and is typically short-lived, often due to misunderstandings. An example is a sudden altercation between neighbors over a minor issue. Sustained conflict, on the other hand, is prolonged and difficult to resolve, like interfaith conflicts that persist over time.

What is the role of controlled vs. uncontrolled conflict?

Controlled conflict is when the involved parties manage the dispute, preventing it from escalating, such as a disagreement between employees and management over salary. Uncontrolled conflict occurs when the conflict spirals out of control, potentially leading to violence, as seen in clashes between protesters and the police.

What are systematic and non-systematic conflicts?

Non-systematic conflict arises spontaneously and lacks a clear goal, such as a heated argument during a meeting. Systematic conflict, however, is planned and aims to achieve specific objectives, like illegal fishing in another country's waters.

How are conflicts categorized based on human activity in society?

Conflicts can be categorized based on the activities they affect, such as economic conflicts (between businesses over tenders), social conflicts (like student-government disputes), cultural conflicts (due to regional language differences), political conflicts (between political parties), and religious conflicts (between different religious groups).

How did Soerjono Soekanto define different types of conflict?
