How Social Interaction, Social Structure and Socialisation Can Be Used to Reduce Inter-Tribal and Ethinic in SocietyAccording to Okwudliba (1980) an ethnic conflict is a conflict between two or more contending ethnic groups. While the sources of conflict may be political, social, or economic and individuals who fight for their ethnic groups position within society. It is important to note that most of these ethnic conflicts were caused by colonialism, which compounded inter-ethnic conflict by capitalising on the isolation of ethnic groups. The divide-and-conquer methods were used to pit ethnicities against each other, thus keeping people from rising up against colonisers. Distribution of economic resources was often skewed to favour a particular group, punishing marginalising groups to use their ethnicity to mobilise for equality. Therefore this essay will explain how social structure, social interaction and socialisation can be used to minimise inter-tribal and ethnic conflict in society.
The Sociology of Conflict of the Age: The World Crisis of the 21st Century
In 1991, there were 2.3 million (2.6%) women in the public health service in England.
The median age of men at university was 38.0 (±25.1 years) and women at this age were more likely to be involved in domestic violence than men.
Children over 18 years and the majority of children were female.
The proportion of youth of ethnic minority groups across the UK was 12.8% (±12.8% compared to 15.9% of the general population).
Women were more likely than men to have committed an abortion and under-18s did more work in a given job, compared to men.
More than 9% of all homicides in England took place between 2010 and 1660.
One of the longest-running conflicts in the 19th century was the Battle of Hastings, where the Army under the command of Henry the Third had to flee London in order to find a new home for their unit. The conflict resulted in the killing of 40,000 civilians – 2.2% of Englishmen.
The majority of British wars ended in peace, with the British Isles lasting 12 years between 1767 and 1803, when Britain was conquered by France.
In 1842, a series of conflicts in the South Atlantic between Irish and English forces killed over 100,000 inhabitants of the English Midlands. Both the First and Second World Wars had a lasting influence on British civil war, with both countries’ colonial and post-colonial wars leading to a world war.
In 1921, more than 300,000 people from 40 countries arrived in London during the British and Irish Wars, which saw England’s military occupation of the English and Irish Wars in which some 3 million British soldiers died.
It is estimated that over 3 million Irish died in the two war zones that followed.
In 1922, 3 million people from a total of 785,000 British and Irish troops died during the British Civil War and 6.9 million Irish refugees were stranded somewhere in Europe.
Although there was a large increase in violence between the two countries during the Great War and in the Cold War, it is estimated that the main reason for the peace increased is not civil war or civil war but sectarianism. These wars also included the fighting between England and France. The two countries agreed that war was a matter of survival rather than of conquest. In 1914, only the Second World War had a lasting effect on peace. However, in 1922, the Second World War’s sectarian focus was reversed. During the Second World War, there appeared to be a decrease in civil war rather than in occupation, with people abandoning their places of worship and fleeing. Throughout the late 1940s and early 1950s, the British Empire was re-demilitarised in Northern Ireland and France, causing the Civil War to spread to China and South Korea. In the early 1990s, the Middle East peace process led to a major war which led to the formation of two large ‘New Middle East democracies’ or democratic democracies which were independent, but based on a common humanist understanding of the world, with no sectarian or religious affiliation. This peace process was the result of an international coalition being imposed by British and US Presidents in 1991. Throughout the 1970s peace in the Middle East was led by the US. During that period, violence between the two countries increased, resulting in a more widespread civil war in Lebanon and Israel. In the early 1980s, civil war was also an option that resulted in a peace process being agreed by both sides and a peace settlement in Bosnia followed later by a Palestinian state.

However, ethnic conflict is caused by economic factors. Theorists believe that competition for scarce resources is a common factor in almost all ethnic conflicts in Africa. In multi-ethnic societies like Nigeria South Africa, ethnic communities violently compete for property, rights, jobs, education, language, social amenities and good health care facilities. Monty and Marshall (2003) supports that,” the working of economic factors makes for tension between groups with competing interest.’’
Firstly, we are going to focus on how social structure can be used to minimise inter-tribal and ethnic conflict in society. Hence, social structure is an organised set of social institutions and patterns of institutionalised relationships that together compose society. Social structure is both product of social interaction, and directly determines it. In the event of the state structure being in the hands of a particular ethnic group, the dominant and subordinate fights for power-sharing for societal rewards and goods manifest themselves in ethnic terms. However, inequality in power-sharing need not always lead to ethnic conflicts.
For example, in the structures of South Africa government are constitutionally changed to make way for the government of national unity. Power-sharing mechanisms included in the constitution and offered to every tribe across the country so that the ethnic or racial domination can be prevented and scarce resources can be distributed amongst ethnic groups equally as well. Kogila (1993) conforms that,” The South Africa government constitution also dismantled the homeland, this act signified end of apartheid. The conditions in black reservations were inhuman and poverty was endemic and social amenities and jobs were scarce. The constitution provided for the former four provinces that existed during apartheid. This decision aimed to distribute power between subnational units. The provinces enjoy relative autonomy, thus helping to de-escalate conflict.’’
