The first conflict dealing with man v man, would be the whole reason why the story happens, which is Medb and her husband, Ailill. The reason why this is a conflict is because it lets the story take off. The conflict between Medb and Ailill was a very trivial reason, it all started while Medb and Ailill were in bed and Ailill said, “It is true what they say love, it is well for the wife of a wealthy man.”, which started the debate of who I had more than the other. “…Ailill said.

Without having the conflict in the beginning the story would had felt like it was kind of pointless.

All stories have at least one of three different kinds of conflict, man versus man, man versus nature, and man versus himself. Some stories, like Richard Connell's “"The Most Dangerous Game"”, use all three conflicts uniquely and clearly.

The three conflicts are used evenly so they end up being as significant as each other.

On the other hand, one theory from this course – instrumentalism – is not useful in explaining the conflict.
Intra-cultural relations are historically filled with conflict; and to deal with this conflict: Gloria Anzaldua’s concepts of opposing cultures and language barriers, John Locke’s Equality theory, and Kwame Anthony Appiah’s global citizenship theory explores the issue and works towards better relations. According to Anzaldua, people are not of one culture, but in several cases, several clashing, distinct cultures. Anzaldua argues that language is part of our identity, and it is a barrier between cultures, sometimes even our own. While Locke argues, we are all created equal, we may not be treated equal.
