Discuss in more general terms how the dialectical perspective helped you understand the conflict.

The objective of this assignment is to apply the dialectical perspective to synthesize new insights on an intercultural conflict of your choice. This conflict should be one that has been documented in academic literature or in media reports. It can either have occurred in an international or a domestic setting. For coming up with a topic and then finding facts and supporting evidence for both sides (or groups), conduct a search of news reports, magazine articles, journal papers, books, interviews, documentaries, etc. that document the conflict event (or series of events). In your paper, you will present the conflict from the perspective of both sides (or cultural groups, or countries, or organizations, or whoever the sides are).You will identify and explain:• Areas where one cultural group’s version or narration of the conflict is in contradiction to or different from how the other cultural group narrates the same events• Areas where each side’s narration of the intercultural conflict is consistent in both cultural groups, that is the version of events are indisputable (documented, unequivocally) or at least agreed on by each side.• The roles of cultural values and/or multiple histories in the intercultural conflict and in each side’s interpretation of events of the conflict• How the dialectical perspective might be applied for a holistic understanding of the intercultural conflict.The research paper will have a minimum of 15 scholarly journal sources, two books documenting scholarly research and a comprehensive bibliography. Formatting & Citation Requirements •• Your final paper should be between 8 – 10 pages, not including references, title page, and table of contents• Use 12-point Times New Roman font, double-spaced, 1-inch margins and APA style citation throughout the paper• Provide in-text citations for the sources that you referenced when writing your paper AND provide a reference list of the sources cited at the end of the paper. Cite all sources that you use, both in text and in the reference section. Both in-text citations and reference list citations should follow APA guidelines provided in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association.• When you cite online material, please be very specific. Note the website section and subsection where you found the information.Layout and Organization •The final paper should be organized in the following manner:Table of contents •• Listing all major headings or sections of the report in order of appearanceIntroduction •• Provide an overview of the intercultural conflict that your paper will be address. Introduce the key players (cultural groups), the duration of the conflict and the key issues at stake.Text (including section headings) •Here you will use at least four discreet sections to elaborate on the key issues and players mentioned in the introduction. In addition to elaborating on the introduction, you should have sections that •• Highlight areas where the narration of events is consistent in both cultural groups• Highlight areas where the narration of events is different or contradictory. • Highlight appropriate and applicable course concepts, including but not limited to cultural values, multiple histories, and cultural identity, to explain why the conflict is narrated consistently and inconsistently by the two parties.• A section specifically applying the dialectical perspective to the intercultural conflict. It is crucial to note here that the three different research paradigms explained in the textbook, the social science, the interpretive and the critical do not encompass the dialectical perspective. To thoroughly address the dialectical perspective you absolutely must explain the different actual dialectics, the opposing tensions, at hand in the conflict. It is ok, but not necessary, to discuss the research paradigms if you like but the majority of this section must be dedicated to discussing how the dialectics, the opposing tensions, explained in the textbook contribute to your understanding of the conflict. Conclusion •• Discuss in more general terms how the dialectical perspective helped you understand the conflict.• Make recommendations on how to be inclusive of multiple parties and perspectives in attempting to resolve intercultural conflicts. Bibliography •• An alphabetical list of all sources consulted and used when creating the report (use the APA format for citing sources–consult the APA Style Manual 6th or 7th editions).
