Not all of these tools will be equally useful in every context, but we will learn to use them all. The exercises that follow will suggest key questions to ask, and will guide us in creating visual representations that help make sense of the conflict.
1. Time and Place: Historical and Geographical Views
For historical view we need to draw up a brief history of the key events in the conflict. We create a timeline leading up to the present day, including any significant turning points that have either escalated or reduced the conflict. We may go back many years, but this is useful to get an overview.
Note to trainer: If it is a very long and protracted armed conflict, it may be useful just to do the timeline for the current phase of the conflict.

Divide trainees into groups of five.
Using a clean piece of paper draw a long line from the beginning of the conflict to the present day. Mark dates on this line, with a note of any event in the conflict which was significant for the community you are working in. The event may have had a direct impact on the people, or its effect may be more indirect, powerful on the memory of the community, or of symbolic value.
(For example: a direct event may be an armed raid on a town, or a killing of a leader or warlord, or massacre of local people; an indirect event may be the defacing of a memorial, a prohibition against the display of a local flag or cultural emblem, public burning of a copy of the constitution.)

In order to put the event into context, Farber takes time to speak about the current domestic and foreign policy issues that were occurring during the time of the conflict. Domestically, the United States was going through a financial crisis.

Conflict has forever been in human history and will undoubtedly stay in human history. Conflict has evolved during the period of 1700’s to the 1900’s and was used to settle disagreements and ultimately advanced war as a whole.
Since the beginning of history there has always been conflict and disagreement, which led to battle and confrontation. Ever since these hostilities have emerged, the problems that spark the conflicts and the battle itself have been illustrated in textbooks and plastered all over the internet, yet no one really takes the time to think of the many soldiers and people who risk their lives for our safety and freedom. To gain a tighter grasp on history and what these veterans have done for us, we interviewed army veteran, Christian Werthmuller, who participated in Black Operations, Operation Desert Storm, and the Iraq War.

Conflict management is a strategized approach to understanding the complexity of conflict within any environment. Sources of conflict can derive from many avenues and include such things as scare resources to personal beliefs and work styles and lack of communication. Conflict is said to be inevitable and subjected to time and change. However, many organizations, including the federal department, have created functional methods through the use of historical theorist to become better aware of contribution and resolutions into conflict management. The criminal justice system within the United States have been subjected to many conflicts that hinder the progress of adaptability. What has been uncovered throughout decades of research is that human conflict is intertwined into the very fabric of our society, making it a formidable adversary.
...e or cold-war among one another. Even from a macro level major issues can take place at a political level. The current example would be of September eleven. One incident occurred and many stories were written. The stories itself led to violation and racism from one group towards the other, further more it created more issues. One group is always oppressed by another, which is opposed by another and so on. People take actions and violate one another without knowing the history. If such incidents have taken place there has to be a reason which can be figured through the history. It is important to point out social issues in whatever form it is possible, whether through oral or written. We have books from the history and oral speeches from the past from which we acquire information. However, whichever form is used, the words used to tell the story is more important.
...nt variables. It can deal with the interests within a country and interests out of it. It can occur due to ideological differences or religious differences. It can occur due to a power grab, and in the cases of a failed brinkmanship, can be a complete accident. Each war throughout history has its own unique set of reasoning for occurring, which makes studying the causation of war so fascinating: in every war you study, you are guaranteed to find so many unique characteristics that it possesses.
