A key theme of power in conflict is that power is a characteristic of the system and not of an individual and power is inherently always unbalanced.

 please find an article or story in recent domestic or international news that involves a real or perceived conflict where the role of power in the conflict can be explained and explored. explain the role and imbalance of power in your chosen topic and provide your empirically supported reflection on how the conflict was started and/or sustained because of the power differential. Include specific examples from your readings in your post.
