Philosophical/Doctrinal Traditions and Roots of Conflict in Christianity, Islam, and Hinduism
An individual’s religious background is a pivotal part of his or her socialization. In turn, how we learn to vocalize during conflicts and manage/resolve conflicts is shaped by our socialization in a religious and/or nonreligious environment (Croucher, 2011b; Croucher, DeMaris, Holody, Hicks, & Oommen 2011).
Inherently, individuals and societies learn or inherit ethics from a philosophical or religious structure (Mitchell, 1980; Pojman, 2005), and this ethics influences conflict behaviors (French & Albright, 1998). Religious groups conceptualize ethics in different ways; thus, the philosophical/doctrinal traditions and/or roots of conflict vary across religions (Casmir, 1997; Croucher, 2011b; Hall, 1997; Haneef, 1996; Johannesen, 1990; May & Sharratt, 1994). This chapter explores these differences between Christianity, Islam, and Hinduism. Table 21.1 provides a comparison of these religions.
