The author relates three cases of conflict which he has observed in Cairo and recognizes patterns that cut across each of these “stories.” The stories shed light on how people in Egypt approach and deal with conflict; in addition, they may help readers understand conflict in their “home” culture as well as be instructive on how to “listen” to conflict in different cultures. Six general themes in the way Egyptians approach or handle conflict are identified, and each of these themes is analyzed.
