Conflict is a state of opposition, disagreement or incompatibility between two or more people or groups of people. It can be characterized by physical violence.
There are lots of types of conflicts. Perhaps the most popular ones are: intrapersonal, emotional, group, organisational, international conflicts... There are three main components to the emotions that are intertwined with a conflict. They are:
Behavioral- The way emotional experience gets expressed which can be verbal or non-verbal and intentional or un-intentional;
Physiological- The bodily experience of emotion. The way emotions make us feel in comparison to our identity;
Cognitive- The idea that we “assess or appraise” an event to reveal its relevancy to ourselves.
These three advise that the meanings of emotional experience and expression are determined by cultural values, beliefs and practices. There are the constructive and destructive way to solve a conflict (destructive usually doesn't solve the conflict, because both sides that are conflicting to each other don't admit their fault and usually ignore each other or just yell at each other, making the conflict even bigger). So, if you truly want to solve the conflict in a peacful way, you should choose the constructive way, though it's sometimes hard to do it because some of the people are just too choleric and overdetermined. Just try to LISTEN and HEAR what people are not happy about when thay are talking abaout you, try to think and admit the accusations and make the right conclusions out of them. And if you accuse somebody for doing something in a wrong way, do it very carefully, because you may hurt or provoke the other side.

Gun Control (in the US)
There is a part of the Constitution in the US, called the Second Amendment, which protects the recognizes the right of the people to keep and bear arms. Of course, it's very good for people to defend themselves, the safety is one of the most needed social demands, and this would be the good point of the Second Amendment. But there are also some facts that don't seem to be very good: 40 percent of the homes in the USA possess guns. Also, more than 2.000 people die due to firearm related injuries. Uneployment rates, ethnic/religious hostilities, political instability are thought to be the main reasons for those deaths.... So there's a big risk to keep the Second Amendment in this unstrict way it is now, because most likely more guns will be easy to possess, more the death rates will grow...
The best way TO TRY to deal with it i think would be the hand-grip ID and the extremely strict psychological-tendency test for everyone who wants to possess a gun.

Employment law (summary)
Employment law is a specific branch of legal profession which usually deals with disputes between employers and employees.
The employees usually are the weaker subjects, so there are some protections of their rights. For example, there is a compensation if an employee is fired with undisclosed reasons. The employees also have the right to strike, and this feature is recognized by law. Also, people who suffer discrimination at their work have the right to make complaint to an industrial tribunal. There is also an act which gives women the rights to come back to work after giving a birth to a baby.
I must mention an interesting situation in Japan. There workers may live in big cities, their employers provide low-cost accomodation to them.
