4. NOTES Conflict happens because of disagreements between races, ethnicities, political ideologies, nationalism, and religion. Civil disobedience is not following the laws and rules but doing it in a way that passes no harm on to someone else. People who respond with violence are generally heard faster, but the response if often negative and uses even more violence. Civil disobedience lasts longer and it breeds respect from others.
