Why is CONFLICT important?

Without conflict, there is no story: no TV shows, movies, radio dramas, comics, novels… and life would be boring.

The storyline happens due to the conflict. Conflict is introduced in the rising action. Change happens at the turning point. Conflict is faced head-on during the

climax. Conflict begins to work itself out during

the falling action. Conflict is resolved during the resolution. This homework is worth 10 quizzes. Each

quiz is numbered.

1. INTERNAL CONFLICT There is only one type of internal conflict.

1

MAN vs. SELF

The character(s) struggle happens in their own mind(s). This may be a choice between right and wrong, or

related overcoming emotions or mixed feelings.

MAN vs. SOCIETY

In this conflict, a character or a group of characters fight against a society or large organization or group.

The character fights against social traditions, rules, values, beliefs, or ways of doing something.

This can be used to comment on positive or negative aspects of real society (satire)

Usefulness in real situations All happened on the past was just a part
