context: encountering conflict evidence/examples

[saheh]

Hey guys

So I didn't do 1/2 Eng (I did 3/4 lit) and I've got my first sac coming up soon, and just wanna practise some context pieces...our text is The Rugmaker..
I did one last week, and didn't draw on other examples, so it was far too text response-y, i need to move to the bigger picture..
So I'm planning to do another,
and I just need to find some examples??
So far I can think of the current conflict in Syria (slightly related to what happened/is happening in Afghanistan in Rugmaker...)

If you guys know of any other good ones, or just want a discussion about it, that would be really great (and it could help others in the same situation who read this)

Thankyou

My two prompts are 'Conflict is the main mechanism for human evolution'
and the 2011 vcaa prompt: 'the ability to compromise is important in any situation of conflict'

for the first one I may chuck in a bit about the french revoltuion (evolution of society etc) as Im doing Revs :p

maybe a bit about Syria/Egypt for the second?
