Here are the definitions of the three types of conflict we came up with in class on Friday.

Man vs. Man / Human vs. Human – a disagreement, conflict, or argument between two people. It can be physical, mental, or verbal (spoken).

Man vs. Self / Human vs. Self – a conflict or struggle in one’s thoughts; an internal conflict. Examples: guilt, good angel/bad angel, making hard decisions.

Man vs. Environment / Human vs. Environment – a battle with the world in which we live. Examples: inanimate objects, things not living, or natural disasters conflicting with humans. Can be as simple as stubbing your toe or tripping on a rock and breaking a bone.
