STAGES OF CONFLICT:



1.       Latent – antecedent conditions predict conflict behavior. The first stage of conflict is latent conflict. At this stage, there are deep value differences or significant injustice, which will potentially lead to an active conflict.
2.       Perceived – cognitive awareness of stressful situations exist.
3.       Felt- feelings and attitudes are present and affect the conflict.
4.       Manifest – tension is decreased, negotiation is done and problem solving is done to find beneficial and mutually agreeable solutions.
5.       Aftermath –i n long-running inter-group conflicts, after successful negotiation, peacebuilding and reconciliation is necessary to prevent a return to the conflict. In this stage, disputants begin to heal and to rebuild relationships, slowly putting their society back together.
