Social conflict

Graft and corruption

Our society is divided into two classes: the high class middle class and the lower class. The high
class has access to the resources necessary to undermine civilization. This conflict theory will
analyze corruption and graft.

 Due to the fact that they take money and opportunity away from those who need
them most, graft and corruption can lead to an artificial shortage of resources.
Conflicts over scarce resources, such as government contracts, public cash, or
land rights, can result from this scarcity as various groups compete for
dominance. and also the Social movements and protests will affected tend to be
triggered by it. When a sizable percentage of the population considers corruption
to be a serious issue, they may band together to demand improvements. Conflicts
on the social and political levels may arise as a result of encounters between these
movements and authorities or those who profit from corruption.
 The Economic inequalities is a common effect of corruption since resources are
diverted away from providing public goods and services. As a result, there exist
differences in wealth and access to fundamental resources including possibilities
for employment, healthcare, and education.
Conflicts over gaining access to social mobility, opportunities for employment,
and basic necessities could result from the expanding cut between the wealthy
elite who profit from corruption and the disadvantaged mass.
 Legal efforts utilized against corruption and graft can be controversial. Corruption
suspects might pursue legal action, which can result in drawn-out court conflicts.
The perception of a lack of justice and accountability among the public can lead
to resentment and disagreement when corrupt persons avoid punishment because
of their power or connections.

West Philippine sea conflict


A complicated and continuous geopolitical issue involving numerous nations in the Asia-Pacific
area is the West Philippine Sea conflict, commonly known as the South China Sea issue. In the
South China Sea, which is abundant in natural resources, fisheries, and shipping routes, there are
territory claims, sovereignty conflicts, and conflicts of interest. The idea behind the causes of the
West Philippine Sea Conflict is presented below.

 The South China Sea, which is to the west of the Philippines and borders of the
West Philippine Sea, is a body of water. Numerous islands, reefs, and shoals may
be found there, many of which are claimed by several nations, including China,
Taiwan, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Brunei. The Overlapping
territorial claims and disputes over control of these areas result from nations
claiming sovereignty over various islands and geographical features in the South
China Sea. Conflicts over Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs), the ability to utilize
the region's rich fisheries, and prospective hydrocarbon resources have been
brought on by disagreements over maritime boundaries.
 The Natural resources like oil, gas, and important fisheries are abundant in the
South China Sea. The use and administration of these resources have given rise to
disputes due to competing territorial claims. The South China Sea is one of the
busiest shipping lanes in the world. Tensions have grown as a result of worries
over the freedom of navigation and the possibility that conflicts could stymie
international trade.
 The Conflict of the area are increasing as a result of military presence and
infrastructure being built on contested islands and reefs. Concerns about possible
disagreements turning into armed confrontations have been strengthened by
military operations, including naval patrols and military drills. Based on historical
claims and the nine-dash line, China asserts significant territorial claims over the
South China Sea, including the West Philippine Sea. China has engaged in a
number of territorial disputes with nearby nations and made considerable military
and land reclamation efforts nearby.
 Conflict in the South China Sea has resulted in strained diplomatic relations,
maritime confrontations, and occasionally conflicts. It has not, however,
developed into a major military battle.
There have been continuous diplomatic efforts towards solving the problem,
including negotiations, arbitration, and regional consultations. However, due to
the complexity of the issues and competing national interests, reaching a thorough
and permanent resolution has proven difficult.

aspects and their effects on society, regardless of how the precise kind and intensity of
disagreements may differ from one Barangay to another. here are some common conflict
dimensions and their impact on society down below.

personal lines. Polarization can have a negative impact on society by causing more social
friction and community divisions, which could strain interactions and prevent
collaboration on regional concerns.

can weaken the democratic system and result in disagreements over the accuracy of
election results. Other Communities may feel untrustworthy of the democratic process
and unsatisfied with election outcomes, which might cause protests or other forms of civil
unrest.
 Barangays frequently have a limited amount of resources, therefore candidates may
engage in fierce competition for control of funding for local development, infrastructure
improvements, and other resources. Other Conflicts within the community might result
from resource competition as different groups support candidates who make promises to
protect these resources. Additionally, suspicions of corruption may surface during
elections or when managing barangay affairs. Corruption allegations can damage the
public's confidence in local institutions, provoking tensions between those who favor
open government and those who don't want it.

Extrajudicial killing in the Philippines

The Extrajudicial executions in the Philippines, especially those connected to the administration's
anti-drug campaign, have generated a great deal of debate both domestically and internationally.
The conflict over extrajudicial executions in the Philippines is explained as follows.

 The Extrajudicial executions have been a feature of President Duterte's ruthless anti-drug
campaign, with alleged involvement from vigilante groups and law enforcement.

process, and the use of deadly methods to combat the drug problem. There have been
several reports of human rights crimes, including summary killings, which have
provoked condemnation from regional and global human rights organizations. Conflict
arises when people's rights to life, due process, and the rule of law are violated.

people supporting the anti-drug campaign as a means of addressing drug-related issues

at odds with one another. The extrajudicial executions in the Philippines have drawn
attention from the international community, particularly human rights organizations and
other countries. Diplomatic relations may become tense as a result of criticisms and
penalties that may have an adverse effect on global trade and collaboration.
 There is no easy solution in sight for the ongoing argument in the Philippines about
extrajudicial executions. Despite attempts by the government to war on drug the problem
in different ways, the matter continues to be extremely divided and politicized.

human rights violations, government anti-drug campaign actions, impunity, public
opinion, and international concerns. This war has had important social, political, and
diplomatic repercussions and serves as a reminder of how crucial it is to confront
violations of human rights and the rule of law.
