Conflict and Settlement

Abstract

All living beings are competitors for the means of existence. Competition takes the more intense form we call conflict when contenders seek to disable or destroy opponents, or even convert them into a supply of resources. Conflict need not always be violent; we speak, for example, of industrial conflicts (strikes and lockouts) and legal conflicts (law suits). But physical struggle is a relevant metaphor for these ordinarily non-violent contests. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
