Sociological Texts and Concepts
Topic – 3 - TYPES OF SOCIAL INTERACTION

    Competition is kind of co-operative conflict . In competition , individuals or groups struggle to reach the same goals but their main concern is directed towards the goals and not towards the competitors . As in conflict , one competitor will attain the goal.        
To prevent competition from degenerating into conflict , it is necessary for the parties to agree on the "rules of the game" and stick to them . This applies to competition in the market-place , competition among students in the class-room , and competition between foot-ball teams.                                             
                                                                    
Conflict is "the process of social interaction in which two or more persons struggle with one another for some commonly prized object or value" . It is the opposite of co-operation , defeat of an opponent is considered essential for achieving the desired goal . Conflicts because the benefits and rewards of a society are relatively limited . In pursuing these scarce resources , the interests of individuals clash , each individual tries to subdue the others to satisfy his own desires.   
      The sociologist George Simuel identified four major types of conflict : (1) war between groups , (2) feuds or factional strife withen groups , (3)litigation conflict that is handled legally and may be settled at courts) , and (4) the of impersonal ideals.                             
Conflicts over ideals , rather than over some desired material , have often been the most merciless and destructive.                                    
     Some philosophers and social thinkers have suggested that conflict is a problem caused by faulty social organization , and that in a perfect society , conflict would not arise . However , it is difficult to imagine a society without conflict , in fact , some conflict is inevitable.  A stable society is one that finds means of controlling conflict with no injury to any of the conflicting parties.                                                      Because conflict often ends in unhappiness , destruction and violence , and even death , it is naturally viewed negatively . However , several sociologists emphasize that conflict has some positive aspects. Conflict can integrate one people on opposing sides , bonding them firmly into a group . Conflict may also lead to needed social change . These sociologists suggest that conflict-free society , would be lifeless , without little or dynamic quality.
