ABSTRACT: This paper discusses conflict as representing a clash of interests that needs to be resolved to avoid belligerent behavior and lay the foundation for the absence of aggression. Unresolved conflicts lay the foundation stone for tension and violence. Hence, it becomes a preoccupation, necessity, and imperative at once to work to resolve conflict, avoid violence, and guarantee peace. The concepts of conflict, violence, and peace cannot be better understood and appreciated when they are addressed and discussed in isolation. Hence, they have been described, analyzed, and presented in this article in a way that drives the concepts smoothly in relation to their meaningfulness in the stabilization of any society. This paper does not seek to give any reader the physical meanings of the concepts but aims to present meanings, interpretations, and analyses that make the concepts very visible to both the mental and physical eyes and feelings of any human.
