Person vs. Person
This is the most traditional type of conflict. involves two or more characters that oppose each

in some way. The conflict is derived from the actions of characters, and typically (though not always)
involves a distinct protagonist and antagonist.
For example :
Two siblings fistfighting over the TV remote.
Two parents battling over custody of their child.
Sometimes, your hero needs to feel like the whole world is against them. That’s
where “man vs. society” conflict comes into play. Rather than having a single

governments, the general public, or cultural norms. The character would need to

government. Many times, stories that revolve around this type of conflict adopt

A group of protesters rallying support for a political candidate
