INFLUENCE OF PERCEPTION ON PUBLIC CONFLICT

Abstract

The influence of human ideas on the perception of the situation, problem, action, which generates an action that flows against the interests and goals of other people, groups of people and creates a conflict that results in a “public conflict”. With the development of the information society and technologies, the product in which this information and knowledge appeared became a tool in making choices, choosing behavior when conflicts arise and resolve. Information and knowledge contribute to the formation of the attitude of the subject of the conflict to the object of the conflict. It is the possession of information about the object of conflict and knowledge, as a rule, determines what strategy of behavior a person will choose in a particular conflict. Individual and collective life experience gives recipes for optimal behavior in conflicts. Education and upbringing based on the received education can influence the creation of ideas of the individual, which will influence the decision-making and choice of behavior in different situations that will affect the conflict — the birth and resolution or prevention of conflict. Therefore, it is important to make education accessible to the interests of the people, taking into account international law and the principle of multilateral relations. Such goals have been developed and declared in the Millennium Goals. The declared Millennium Goals must achieve the goals of obtaining and using the knowledge produced and accumulated by mankind with free access to sources of information and its use. Information and communication technologies enable the realization of human rights and freedoms, the rule of law, the development of civil society and “can give humanity a way in which they can change the activities, relationships and lives of people and, consequently, strengthen confidence in the future” [7, p. 5], which will significantly reduce the development of unfounded ideas and serve as a safeguard against conflicts and their prevention.
