Why don the conventional approaches to resolving conflict work?
Understanding human conflict is conventionally addressed in a remedial, reactive way at the secondary level of resolution through therapeutic or moralistic means, as in the case of individual conflict, or through diplomatic or political intervention, as in the case of social conflict – or it is addressed at the tertiary level of managing conflict through judicial, or military intervention. These remedial, reactive approaches do not address conflict at the primary prevention level in understanding and avoiding the fundamental psychological factors that create conflict in the conditioned way we think and act and are therefore essentially ineffective because they do not prevent conflict from happening in the first place.
