In my opinion, not every conflict has a winner. I think not every conflict has a winner. Sometimes, a goal that two competitors want is crushed. For instance, let’s say that someone were to rob another person’s house. The robber got everything he was going to rob. But on his way out, he accidentally dropped everything. The police came and arrested him. The owner of the house didn’t win because his possessions were broken. The robber didn’t win because he got arrested. A true conflict that happened that didn’t have a winner was the disaster of Apollo 13, where the people on Apollo 13 didn’t make it to the moon, but they came back alive. Many internal conflicts and natural disasters also don’t have winners.(Unless you say that the natural disaster won or that the internal conflict won, which sounds weird to say).
I truly think that not every conflict has a winner. Not every conflict will end with someone being right. Also, your not actually a winner, it’s just your opinon.You and your friend could have a argument about a topic and no one wins.You both may be right. Or you both might be wrong.Everyone has the right to there own opinon and that’s why I think every conflict may not have a winner.
Every conflict does not have a winner, because sometimes even though they work through the conflict, there could still be issues that sometimes cannot be fixed quickly. Some conflicts take a lot of patience, understanding, and forgiveness, and still their could still be issues that may not be worked out; therfore, you don’t always have a winner in the end.
I believe that not every conflict has a winner. If you are fighting you can both be right so that means there is no winner. For example, in the Korean War both sides declared a truce and retreated back to there sides so there was no winner or loser. If there was a duel and both people did something at the same time there wouldn’t be an outcome. You can defend this question either way but I chose that not every conflict has a winner. If you are arguing you maybe wrong on the issue.
Personally, I don’t think every conflict has a winner. Not every conflict has a winner because sometimes, you can come to an agreement in a conflict. In an agreement, neither side gets everything they want. Each side gets a part of their request. However, conflicts can have a winner where one side gets what they want, but the other doesn’t. Although, not every conflict HAS to have a winner. Sometimes no one is right and no one it wrong. Therefore, that conflict won’t have a winner. Conflicts can have a winner, but they don’t necessarily have to have one.
In my opinion, I do not think every conflict has a winner. The reason why i think every conflict does not have a winner is because every problem does not always have a winner. Some conflicts end up with a winner and other conflicts don’t. Not everyone is lucky to solve there problem. Conflicts may ends up with one of the sides is happy and the other is not. Other conflicts may end up with both sides being happy or both sides being unhappy. That is what I think of every conflict not having a winner.
In my opinion, I do not think every conflict has a winner. It is the matter of one’s opinion which determines the winner. For example, if two people have an arguement, they are not agreeing on something. One might think they are right and they won the conflict, while the other thinks that they have won and that they were right. Also, internal conflicts do not have winners. If you can not decide on something, you wouldn’t say that thought in my mind won. That would be weird to say. Even though I am stating here that not every conflict has a winner, some conflicts do. An example would be someone battling cancer. If the person beats it, the person has won the conflict, but if they do not beat it, the cancer would have won the conflict. Also, if a predator is fighting another predator, one will probably win and they other would be wounded or killed. Therefore, the one that has been wounded or killed would have lost the conflict while the other won. This is why I believe not every conflict has a winner, but some do.
I believe there are some conflicts that do not have a winner. Some conflicts can last forever. The people could have worked it all out but there was still no winner and no loser. For example i could be fighting with my brother and instead of deciding a winner we both gave up and declared a truce. In that situation there wasn’t a winner. Another situation that will not likely have a winner are conflicts over religion. For example the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. There is a war going on right now that has been going on for many years and no matter what the outcome is the conflict will have no winner.
I think that all conflicts do not have a winner. In a conflict two or more poeple need to compromise. So every one gets part of what they wanted. In order to do make this happen every one must sacrifice. Also a conflict isn’t meant to be solved without a compromise. If conflicts ended with someone getting everything they want and someone getting nothing it wouldn’t be a conflict, it would be a battle for what you want. In a conflict the two or more poeple who start the conflict don’t come out victorious, but to people come out who get part of what they want.
