Question

The socialisation process involves a continuous dialogue, negotiation and even struggle against significant others (those directly involved in our lives) like our parents, family, kin group and our community. Our community provides us the language (our mother tongue) and the cultural values through which we comprehend the world. It also anchors our self-identity.

Community conflicts are hard to deal with because:

1. Each side in the conflict thinks of the other side as a hated enemy.
2. There is a tendency to exaggerate the virtues of one’s own side.
3. There is a tendency not to exaggerate the vices of the other side.
4. In such conflicts, they are constructing matching but reversed mirror images of each other.
