%X Conflict is the disagreement or misunderstanding that exists among individuals and groups. This paper examines the dialectics of conflict from a sociological perspective. A descriptive research design was employed to study the dialectical nature of conflict in social discourse. The authors used document analysis, together with secondary data obtained through the desk review method, to discuss the results. Findings show that conflict can sometimes be hostile and violent, resulting in wars, and affecting our daily relationships with others. On the other hand, it can be deduced that the aspect of the results that reveals the dialectical aspect of conflict is the interpretation of negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and reconciliation, to mention a few. These are effective communication tools that can be used to restore peace and prevent subsequent relapse into conflict. It is recommended that conflict resolution centers or institutions intensify their operations to mitigate conflict situations in our communities. Effective propagation of the message of conflict resolution will be key to sensitizing young people to communicate effectively and avoid generating conflict issues among themselves.
