CONFLICT RESOLUTION essay

The Kingdom of Wakanda is a technologically advanced state that has been hidden away from the rest of the world for centuries because of the power that it holds and the presence of the precious mineral vibranium. It is feared that if such kind of technology became exposed to the rest of the world, it would lead to a shift in the balance of power thus resulting in wars and chaos. The Kingdom is headed by a King, T’chala, who came back after the death of his father (Chen, 2018). He is unaware that there is an underlying secret about the succession to the throne. Outside Wakanda, there is a character named Killmonger. The cause of conflict in the film is political, as much as it is psychological and is motivated by revenge.

He is enraged by his uncle’s actions, a rage that only grows stronger as Killmonger grows older and vows to seek revenge for his father’s death. The second type of conflict is interpersonal. He swiftly cast aside any form of discussions afterwards. His mother and the priest of Wakanda attempted to mediate in vain. The only option he remained with was to use Diplomacy. As a tradition of Wakanda, the only to settle such a matter was a traditional fight, which T’chala quickly gave into the idea, as the winner would be assured the throne.

At the battle, Killmonger Won, thus, he became the King while T’chala was badly injured and feared dead (McCann 2018). In order to manage and resolve a conflict accurately, there exist methods and tools that can be utilized.
