Conflicts are the different confrontations that occur between two or more people, having as a cause opposing interests. Often, as these develop, there is a tendency to use a series of words or actions aimed at physically, morally and psychologically damaging the opposite individual; In this way, the reasons that initially started the situation could be reached. These, in the long run, are capable of generating problems for both those directly involved, as well as those related to them; These are characterized, however, by being debatable and these can be resolved.
Conflicts between people can start, in one way or another, by overflowing emotions. This is based on the belief that man is a social animal, which is related to others by needs of cooperation or competition; Therefore, it follows that aggressiveness, produced by an exchange of completely opposite interests, has a completely biological or psychological origin. Another quite important element in conflicts is violence, which may or may not be present in any of the circumstances, but that it cannot exist without a conflict having previously occurred. It is necessary to highlight the presence of two situations that are regularly confused with conflicts, such as pseudo-conflicts, generated by poor communication or mistrust and latent conflicts, where the difference of interests is not perceived.
Conflicts of interest or interests, for their part, are of a much more complex composition. These refer to those circumstances in which an individual affects others and their own primary interests, due to the influence of secondary interests, which can be personal or economic. Within an institution, this can appear when personal interest is superimposed on work or institutional interest.
