What Does Conflict Mean?

A conflict can be defined as an open clash, dispute, disagreement, violation of laws or rules or argument that takes place between two people or groups of people who have opposing views on a particular issue. A conflict is said to occur if a person experiences two opposite feelings simultaneously, which is also known as a double mind or a dilemma.

Usually conflicts leads to indecision and turmoil in the mind of the individual. Opposing military forces who are engaged in combat or battle are also said to be in a state of conflict. Two events or dates may conflict with each other, but the person who experiences such a conflict must be prepared to sacrifice one of these in favour of the one which is higher in priority.

Conflict is also a verb, which means to be in a state of conflict. Authors, especially those who write fiction, employ this technique in their writings to show the opposition between two characters. This technique often thickens the plot of the fictional work.
