Abstract
Conflict is a special phase of development, an intensification of certain contradictions in social life, characterized, generally speaking, by the fact that the contradiction has already become ripe for solution but under such circumstances that particular forces (internal or external in nature), constituting one of the conflicting aspects, interfere with its solution in one way or another. It is clear that because of its general nature this characteristic does not and cannot embrace the entire range of possible conflicts. The concept of conflict is not identical with that of antagonism. The latter term describes a type of contradiction, while the former has to do with the degree of acuteness. A conflict may be antagonistic or nonantagonistic in nature.
