Abstract
The paper examines land claims disputes and related issues. The paper begins with the history of
the oppression and subjugation of the native people and discusses how the governments' of North America established control over the indigenous Canadians and Native Americans. The paper further reveals how the nature and history of the European colonization and settlement of North America are paramount to the conflicts, issues and challenges, especially concerning claims to the land, that were presented at the time.

From the Paper
"Beginning in the early eighteenth-century, native peoples in both Canada and the United States were subjugated and oppressed for more than two-hundred years as the Canadian and American governments established political, economic, social, and cultural dominance over native tribes and their lands. Comparing issues related to land claims, conflicts involving indigenous Canadians and Native Americans, and majority culture governments reveals that indigenous peoples face many similar challenges due to the nature and history of the European colonization and settlement of North America. While both indigenous Canadians and Native Americans have legitimate land claims and a host of other justified grievances, historians are in general agreement that American.."

Abstract
The paper discusses the role of power within conflicts and specifically, the role that power plays in the communication that occurs within conflict.

From the Paper
"Conflict arises with two parties have differing viewpoints on an issue and the viewpoints are mutually exclusive. For example, in today's political climate, one person might want a Democrat to be president and be passionate about that desire, while another person might prefer a Republican but be ambivalent if a Democrat is elected. While these positions are different, they are not mutually exclusive. However, if two people are deciding to paint a room and initially disagree on the color scheme..."

Abstract
This paper first examines how all of the gory violence from "Kill Bill," stems from interpersonal conflict, despite the violence's apparent gratuity in the eyes of the viewer. The paper then discusses the major obstacles faced by the protagonist and other characters in the film and propounds that the conflicts in the film arise out of varying attitudes of the characters regarding power.

From the Paper
"The obstacle to impending resolution is the fact that these are all professional killers, who know only one way to resolve a problem: murder of the source of their conflict. However, this negotiation for closure that the two are unwittingly engaged in comes out of more fundamental human conflict, in this case the emotion of love. Bill recruits his hit squad to kill the Bride's fiancee, and then the bride faces the conflict of the need to avenge the murders. As long as the murderers are alive, the Bride feels unavenged, and when they are dead, she will be avenged, and this is the only form of resolution she knows (in effect, the elimination of the symbol of her new life has also served to bring her back to her old ways one last time). It also is the source of the extraordinary will she demonstrates: not just to survive, but because of the purpose of her motivation, which is to avenge herself."

Abstract
This paper talks about the need for, and the benefits of, effective communication in relationships when emotional conflicts arise, and, in particular, when emotional conflicts present themselves in a business relationship. The paper explains how an individual's lack of an understanding of how communication skills work and how important they are to other individuals will seriously impede that person's ability to resolve conflicts, while individuals who have good strong communication skills are able to deal with emotional conflicts quickly and easily.

From the Paper
"It appears that there are many processes and structures that are utilized to teach these things to individuals but they do not always work in the way that they should and many people are left with difficulties in communication when they face some type of emotional conflict with another individual (Dooley & Fryxell, 1999). It is important for these individuals to develop skills in communication and collaboration that are very effective and when they learn how to deal with emotional conflict management they become assets not only for the clients that they deal with but for their employers as well (Dooley & Fryxell, 1999). Traditionally individuals focused on the needs of their clients within any business but there are many more tensions coming into many fields today (Dooley & Fryxell, 1999)."

Abstract
This paper attempts to examine the causes of conflict between individuals in organizational settings and, in particular, educational settings. The paper describes and explains the different classifications of conflicts, as well as the means to reduce the negative impact conflicts have on the morale of the individuals involved in the conflict. The author suggests that understanding the options that are available in conflict resolution is paramount and critical for handling any future conflicts that may arise.

From the Paper
"Conflicts are natural. They are expected to arise in any interaction involving two or more individuals. No two people think, act or react in a similar manner. This variability offers the opportunity for a conflict to arise in any situation. Without conflict, life in organizations would be stagnant. The future of the organization would be jeopardized. Dissonance, or a need to find a better way of doing things, is often the seed, which spurs on the team to higher levels of investigation and searches. The origin of conflict can be often traced to false perception. (Burton, 1968) In an organization conflict can play an important role in offering the workers and the management direction and purpose in spite of the difference of opinions between workers."

Abstract
This paper addresses conflicts of interests facing professionals in financial planning in Canada. The paper points out that the Financial Planner Standards Council (FPSC) was put together in 1996 in order to better regulate the rapidly expanding industry and to reduce or eliminate the potential for abuses in the industry - the most common abuses being the potential for conflicts of interest for the financial planner. The paper delineates 3 types: financial, structural and personal. The paper concludes with the suggestion that one of the best ways to protect the interests of financial planners is to become certified through the FPSC.

Outline:
Introduction
Conflicts of Interest
Conclusion

From the Paper
"Another type of conflict may develop when the financial planner actually holds some type of formal or informal position of influence over that of the client. These are termed structural conflicts and while not very common are certainly difficult to regulate or prevent (List). Many of these types of conflicts of interest are prevented by the standards to which all Canadian financial planners must adhere to in order to remain certified financial planners through the Financial Planners Standards Council in accordance with its code of ethics."

Abstract
In this essay, the writer examines the role of religion and nationalism in the origin and development of the India-Pakistan and Arab-Israeli conflicts. The writer discusses religion and nationalism as exacerbating factors in the conflicts. The writer also considers the prospect that religion and nationalism will continue to be factors in wars in the future.

From the Paper
"States go to war for a variety of reasons, but two that have proven particularly effective in generating mass mobilization are religion and nationalism. Unlike other reasons for war, such as control of a trade route or more broadly even economic prosperity, these reasons are capable of motivating large numbers of people on a deeply emotional level even when they do not stand to share in any material gains from victory. By the same token however, once brought into ... "

"Current Maritime Issues/Conflict in Asia Pacific Region


This research paper outlines and discusses the major maritime issues and potential armed conflicts in the Asia Pacific region, their implications and the outlook for regional peace and security, with particular relevance to ASEAN nations. The ASEAN nations now include Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.


1. Arms Race and Growth in Chinese Naval Power
The Asia Pacific region is one of the most heavily armed regions of the world. The United States is the world's leading military superpower. China (the PRC) has had nuclear weapons since the 1960s and the largest army in the world. Japan could easily become a nuclear power and its Self-Defense forces, particularly its air force and navy, are formidable. The military..."

Abstract
The paper discusses how there are a number of subjects that bring about conflicts in marriage- sex, economics (i.e. wife earning more than husband) faith and how to raise children. The paper then argues that the idea of finding confidence and trust in resolution of conflict may mean trusting a higher power as well as finding the maturity to realize that a marriage is more than a "social" union.

From the Paper
"Marriage is a union between two separate individuals. While obviously it would be necessary that these two have many things in common, over the years conflicts surely will arise. It does not mean the two marriage partners drift apart. It only indicates that viewpoints change, or are somehow influenced, or that, in some cases, one or the other of the two marriage partners tends to mature. Conflicts may arise over a rainbow of reasons- sexual, religious, job-related, social, child-rearing differences and others. In some cases, conflicts in marriage may require outside objective counseling. In others, the two marriage partners may be able to..."

Abstract
Using Laurie Coltri's book "Conflict Diagnosis and Alternative Dispute Resolution," this paper analyzes a hypothetical workplace scenario in which a manager is forced to choose leniency or harsh disciplinary action in dealing with a single mom employee who has been taking excessive sick leave to attend to her sick child. The paper addresses the key issues ad concerns in the matter and discusses potential solutions to the conflicts.

From the Paper
"Negotiation is the key to resolving this conflict. Bob's has the opportunity to use his non-traditional supervisory style to try to create alternate solution plans that can be agreeable to both parties as well as other employees. Kathy's quirky habits might also be used in negotiation to address both her personal needs as well as her professional hopes. With both parties likely to seek alternate resolutions via negotiation, the potential to end the conflict could be easily accomplished if they are willing to accommodate each other's styles of negotiation and avoid a formal negotiation agreement that might stay on record for years to come."
