Culture is an essential part of conflict and conflict resolution. Cultures are like underground rivers that run through our lives and relationships, giving us messages that shape our perceptions, attributions, judgments, and ideas of self and other. Though cultures are powerful, they are often unconscious, influencing conflict and attempts to resolve conflict in imperceptible ways.

Cultures are more than language, dress, and food customs. Cultural groups may share race, ethnicity, or nationality, but they also arise from cleavages of generation, socioeconomic class, sexual orientation, ability and disability, political and religious affiliation, language, and gender -- to name only a few.

Two things are essential to remember about cultures: they are always changing, and they relate to the symbolic dimension of life. The symbolic dimension is the place where we are constantly making meaning and enacting our identities. Cultural messages from the groups we belong to give us information about what is meaningful or important, and who we are in the world and in relation to others -- our identities.

Cultural messages, simply, are what everyone in a group knows that outsiders do not know. They are the water fish swim in, unaware of its effect on their vision. They are a series of lenses that shape what we see and don't see, how we perceive and interpret, and where we draw boundaries. In shaping our values, cultures contain starting points and currencies[1]. Starting points are those places it is natural to begin, whether with individual or group concerns, with the big picture or particularities. Currencies are those things we care about that influence and shape our interactions with others.

Do you mean an essay question or do you want an actual already written essay so you can cheat?

Here's a primo question (with subparts) from an exam. No answer is given so don't bother looking. Its from a lecture final.

Ethnic conflict can be a problem for a political system. Discuss how the government of either India or Mexico or Nigeria has dealt with ethnic conflict and how the post-1991 Russian government has dealt with ethnic conflict.

In your discussion, do each of the following.

a. Describe one example of ethnic conflict in each country.

b. Identify one principal method used by India or Mexico or Nigeria and one principal method used by post-1991 Russia to resolve ethnic conflict.

c. Assess the impact of each government's response to ethnic conflict on political stability within the country.

Helpful notes to improve your grade:
In (a), points are awarded for a description of an ethnic-based conflict, rather than for a description that emphasizes ethnic characteristics

Must describe more than generic naming of conflict, e.g., "tribal" in Nigeria, "religious" in India

Religion counts, caste does not count

Religious institutions, NGOs (nongovernmental organization) are acceptable for (b)

Answers to (b) and (c) might not be related to conflict identified in (a)

Discussion must deal with ethnic conflicts within post-1991 Russia, not between Russia and former Soviet republics

Some possible examples of methods of dealing with ethnic conflict:

federal system (including having upper/lower houses; regional governments)

use of troops

jailing/execution/secret police/exile

patron/client system

partitioning

cultural institutions (schools, religion, associations)

legal system

co-option/channeling

If you're looking for someone help you cheat, then forget it. I really, sincerely hope that's not the case.
