The type of conflict that is the worst to endure is person verses self because alot of times it's more difficult to make a personal decision while battling your own personal values than being in a person verses person conflict and just being able to argue or fight it out. You have to be a stronger person for some conflicts because you have to be able to put up with situations that come up and if your a weak person you might just collapse under the pressure of the decision or whatever the conflict is.

I think that all conflicts could be equally hard to deal with depending on what they are about. If it is man vs. man and it is just some little conflict, it could be really easy to deal with. i just think that since all conflicts aren't of equal size they vary in difficulty all the time.
I think that man vs. nature is harder because you never know what you are dealing with. It could be a animal that is ten times bigger then you or something you dont even know what it is and you dont know how strong it is. I dont think you need to be stronger in one then the other i just think that you need to be strong in everything to be abke to get through the conflict.

I think that the type of conflict that is worse to endure would be man vs. self because depending on the situation, it can be harmful to yourself as well as others. For Man vs. Man, yes you do need to be a stronger person, especially if you are in a phisical fight. Bus as for the other conflicts, I think that you just need to be stronger internally to win the fight.
I think that Man vs. self is the worst to endure because you need to be a strong person to overcome these kind of conflicts. Also you have to "fight" with yourself on big conflicts.
I think that man vs. nature because you never know what your going to do.Yes you need to be a stronger person for some types of conflict because you have to fight with yourself.

I think the worst type of conflict is man versus man. I think this is becuase you cant make a person do what you want them to do and that can cuase conflict. Also you dont know what another person is capable of doing. I think you do need to be stronger for some conflicts

I think the worst type of conflict to endure is man vs. nature because you don't use usually don't have a lot of times when you are talking about other animals .

I think man vs self is the worst conflict to overcome. I think it is because you cant help what you think and believe. So when you are fighting yourself you dont know what to do and you cant take your own advice.Yes, I do think that you need to be stronger in certain types of conflicts because some of them are more serious topics than others.
The worst type of comment to endure is man vs. nature because not alot of times you are not talking about nature talking about man
i think that man vs nature.is the worst!...i think this because... well if its you vs a animal or something you never know what kind of animal and it could be 100 times bigger then you!....Well i sometimes think you have to be a stronger person in some types of conflicts because you dont know what your dealing with.. because some times you can be your self.. and then some other conlficts you have to be strong and take a stand!

I personally think that Man verses Self is the worst to endure. The character has to battle their values while trying to make a decision that will benefit everyone. If they aren't strong enough to deal with their own personal conflicts, it will eventually tear them up inside. Man can overcome another man, nature or society if he has strong enough will, but they need to be even stronger to overcome themselves.

The type of conflict that was the worst to endure was person verses self because he had to think about if he wanted to be scared for the rest of his life or defend himself and know in his mind that he would have the saftey from people beating him up. I think you have to be a stronger person for some conflicts because it could put you in a life or death situation. And if you are a weak person you would just let people beat on you.

I think man vs. nature is worst to endure because you will never know what your fighting. It could be something you don`t even know or you don`t know how strong it is, or it could be a animal 100 times as strong and as big as you. For man vs. nature, you will never ever know what you are fighting so you will be nervous and it will be harder to fight and endure. Yes I think you have to be a stronger person for some types of conflicts. I sat this because, some conflicts you will never know what your fighting and you will have to be stronger. For example, for man vs. nature you will not know what your fighting and you will have to be stronger because you will not know if what your fighting is stronger than you or weaker than you. For man vs. man you will know what you are fighting and you won`t have to be as strong.

i think the hardest conflict to overcome is man vs. man because you don't know what the person is capable of. The person could also be larger than you or have his/her friends there with them. There for you would be intimidated and if you were to fight them and theirfriends then you coulsd get hurt badly. Plus, anything could happen man vs. man is very unpredictable conflict.

The cloflict that it worst if person versus self. I say that becaue most of the tie uhave a hard time trying to make decisions and choices.If u have hep making some of your choices it makes life alot easier, but sometimes it is soming that you really did'nt want but u had to stick with it.
The type of conflict that is hardest-in my mind-would be man versus self. It is so hard to make decisions when dealing ith you values and trying to make good decisions. This is what lead Edgar Allen Poe to "The Tell-Tale Heart" the narrator was simply battling himself to overcome his values and murder his boss.
You need to be equally strong, in my opinion,for every type of conflict because the situation could get equally complicated as the other types of conflicts and they can all escalate to risking your own life and other lives, although they might not always be at an equal size but all conflicts need a strong individual to resolve them.

I think that the worst conflict to endure is person verses self because it's hard to make a certain decision when it's you deciding by yourself what you should do . You have to be a stronger person for certain conflicts . If your weak at some them you might get over pressured , and decide the wrong thing to do .
The conflict that I think is worse to endure is man vs. self. I think this because you are your worst critic. Even though you may not realize it,we judge ourselves at everything we do and will be harder on ourselves than anyone else. Yes, I think you need to be a strong person for this type of conflict. This is because you put yourself down a lot and make yourself angry. This will lead to establishing a low self-esteem and the possibility of becoming a rebel.

I think man vs.self would be the worst to endure because if you get stuck into a situation you have no i dea what to do, even if its for the good or for the bad you still have to make a decision and live apon the decision you made because you can never change the past!
The type of conflict that i think would be hardest to deal with would be man v.s. self. I say its man v.s self because no matter what happenes people usually tend to put the blame on themselves, and make things worse then they already are. Also with man v.s. self you cant talk to the person about it like in man v.s man. Some people even sometimes collapse under the pressure against themselves. So I think the hardest type of conflict to deal with is man v.s self.

i think that the type of conflict that is the worse is person verses person. i think this because its hard to make a real personal decision when you going against your own values
Dear Mr.Powell i was reading this blog and was thinking about what it said . I do need to be a stonger person. i always get upset like when people talk about me and it starts problems. I usally get in alot of fights or just truble when this stuff happens. I think if i learn how to bite my tong and not say any thing , it would be best. Well any way i think that presser is crazy ! CJ
I think that the man versus self is the hardest type of conflict to endure. It is alot harder to deal with a problem about yourself. You have to figure out how to handle a conflict on your own. Nobody can really help you with it. You have to find the courage in you to solve the conflict. You have to be a very strong person find your own conflicts and solve them for yourself.

The worst conflict to endure is person vs. person. If there is a person versus self conflict you cannot be hurt physically, and cannot technically be afraid of yourself. Fear is the strongest motivator, so fear of someone can be worse then fear of yourself.
Steve
I think that the hardest conflict to endure is person versus self because with conflicts with nature or other people can be resolved with simple reasoning. However with person vs. himself, there can be no consolation because there is no one to reason with. That is why I believe that man vs. himself is the hardest conflict to cope with.
Matt h.
ahron f. I believe that man vs. man is the hardest conflict to endure.I think that some conflicts need stronger people to come up with a resolution that could help the situation or conflict better. Therefore, the most hardes conflicts I personally think is hard is man vs. man.
The hardest type of conflict to endure is probably person vs. person. This for me is the hardest because it is a mentallity issue. You must overcome the "I can't do it" frame of mind before you can face any person vs. person, or any person vs. nature conflicts. this is due to the way the human mind functions.
For some conflicts you do need to be a stronger person, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally also.
I think that the worst conflict is man vs. self. I think you need to be confidnent with yourself to be able to stand up for yourself. When you are confident with yourself you believe in yourseld and if you do not beliece in yourself, then you would not beliece that you could stand up for someone who is bigger than your or stronger than you.

Hello, your probally coolest english teacher i've had,coming from catholic school it is really diiferent than coming from a public school and i think you have helped with the change.Thanks Alot
Josh
Personally, i think the worst conflict to endure is man vs. self or man vs. man because technically tou are dealing with a person either way. I also think you need to be a stronger person for some of the conflicts because when you make mistakes when your dealing with the conflicts, you need to learn how to cope with your decision and if it happens again then you know if you're going to do it again or not.
Jessica
The conflict that is worse to endure id person vs. self because it is much harder to get through things when you want to do something but your interself is telling you otherwise.

I think the hardest conflict for me to endure would be the man versus self, because you're fighting a battle against an opponent who knows all your strategies and knows what you're going to say next. On the flip side, if you're fighting against yourself you know what the other side is going to say next, too, so it's equal on both sides. And that's what makes it so hard to win for either side. And definitely yes, you do need to be stronger for some types of conflicts than others. Like man versus man-if you are stronger than the other person you'll probably win. But that's only physical. If it's something like man versus society, you would need to be very self-confident and sure of yourself to stand up to a whole community.

The type of conflict that's the worst to deal with is man vs. self. I think man vs. self is the hardest to deal with because any other thing you usually can get around it no problem. But when it's versus yourself, you have to figure out what you're going to do about it. If it's man vs. man than you can get your friends and family to help you but when your thinking about things in your head no one can get them out for you.
Samantha english2
The type of conflict that is hardest is man vs.self. I think that's worst because in other cases you can get help. If it's man vs. man you can get friends and family to help, but when you're against yourself no one can get thoughts out of your head. So I think man vs. self is the hardest.
i think that man vs. man is hard because that is the most common with people today. People are always getting into fights or aguments with another person. If you end up getting into a fight then yes you will need to be a stronger person. You have to be a stronger person against the other in order to defend and protect yourself.

I think that man vs. self would be hardest to cope with. This is because you have to learn to be strong to be able to handle these kinds of issues and/or conflicts that you may ever come across.
Nicole
The conflict that is worst to endure would have to be man vs self because you're dealing with yourself and who you are. If a situation was to come up and if you're not ready to deal with the situation then you can't fight it. For example if someone in your family died, you would have to face the fact that they're dead and that you have your life to live. If you don't you will feel restricted from moving from your depressed spot and you would never get over it. Then 30 years from now you'd wonder why you spent 30 years dwelling on the past and how you can't change it no matter what you could do. This is why I believe the hardest conflict is man vs self.

The type of conflict that would be worst to endure would be person vs self because you're dealing with yourself and who you are and your reactions to what is happening around you. The reason that I believe this is the toughest one would be that you can't control those around you unless its something that isn't serious to the point you shouldn't bother about it. For example if someone in your family passed away you would feel sad and depressed. Face it, they are dead and what much could you give them now except for the fact you can't forget them and you still love them. If you couldn't move on with your life and stay in the depressed state you would crack and say, 30-50 years from now you'd reflect on why you didn't get over it and how much you missed because you were afraid to move from a depressed
space.That is why I believe person
vs self can be worst to endure
than man or nature.
-Josh P
Te worst type of conflict to me is a person versesself because f you were onm your own it would eventually become hard to deal and also you might go crazy to a point were you can't deal with yourself, therefor making it harder to deal with person verses self, which i think is the hardest conflict.I think you do need to be stronger for some conflicts because if it is man verses person then you might have to fight and being stronger will help you to survive, then if you are a stronger person emotionally then you won't go crazy on your own, and then there is the nature verses person, that is a defiante time when you need to be stronger because to survive this trecherous forest or nature you need to know how to survive without food from home, you need to hunt and stay strong.
Sam
I think that person vs. self would be the worst to endure because your dealing with problem where you are battling yourself. while battling with yourself you cant talk things out with yourself. =]

The type of conflict that I think is worst to endure is man vs. person. the reason is because it is really hard sometimes to get your point across or state your opinion when someone that may be older than you doesn't care or doesn't believe you.In most situations, you do need to be a stronger person in some conflicts. If you have things to say you would need to back it up with evidence or people may ignore you if you are trying to get your point across.

I think that the hardest type of confict is person vs. self because when you are fighting with yourself you can't really have options to choose. You have a harder time to make decisions and choices with yourself. I think that when you are dealing with conflict with yourself there is basically no thing that you could do to make the situation better. It might all lead a different way.

$$$Chris.B$$$ i think that all conflict could be equally very hard to deal with.I think that man vs. nature is te hardest because you never know what you are going to deal with. I think that there is a lot of conflict on the buses like when kids are throwing stuff out the window. that is not right especially because we are a new school and we should not act that way.

I personally think that the worst type of conflict to endure is man vs. man, because say you end up in a fight well you really wouldn't know what to do.And it is harder to come up with how to solve your problem like in the story Black Boy, where he couldn't make his own decision until someone else made the decision for him. And yes you need to be a stronger person for some types of conflicts since the situation can get out of hand sometimes. So you would have to be on top of the game at all times.
I personally think that man vs. self is the worst conflict to endure, because this has to do with mental and emotional problems. I say this since it is hard to try and solve your own problems without talking to anyone. Also you would need to be a stronger person for some conflicts for the fact that you have to stay on top of the game at all times and you can't just let yourself get brought down by others.
Inner conflict is the most difficult to deal with . I pick man vs. self for this reason: If one cannot "conquer" man vs. self, then the other two choices are unattainable. Outer conflict is temporary, fleeting, and inconsistent. Inner conflict is actually a reaction to outer forces that are beyond our control. It causes us to reach within ourselves to find the part of us that is humble in order to deal with a situation at hand and come to a solution that is not only harmonious for our outer self, but our inner self as well. People give way too much power to outside forces, such as "I wouldn't have yelled at you if you wouldn't have made me angry." The person didn't make you angry, you chose to be angry about a situation. I just think what really matters is the part that you can control, the part of it that you can change, and that ultimately, is yourself. Inner conflict causes us to be accountable for our actions and our reactions to life. I guess it all comes down to choices. One may not be able to choose how a person acts towards them or what nature tosses our way, but they CAN choose the path that they want to take in order to deal with the situation. No one makes us do anything that is an inner thought or outer reaction. People want free will but then when faced with the option, they turn and blame others, or outer forces, for their choices and actions.
