Concerted Effort on Conflict Approaches: An Ubuntu Theory that Generates New Approaches in the Fourth Industrial Revolution Era

Abstract

The rapid pace of the industrial growth frolicked a crucial role in the previous conflict approaches. However, conflict approaches are expected to transform in terms of technological change and socioeconomic impact. The current conflict approaches are dominated by Western theories created for individualist cultures that stand in contrast to the communal culture of African and Asian citizens. As a result, Afrocentric and Asia centric theories are under threat from the proliferation of foreign ideologies and concepts, which have long influenced conflict approaches. The methodology on the Ubuntu practical applicant generates new perspectives on conflict approaches in the fourth industrial revolution era. Quester-views, focus group discussions (FGD) and discussions were used as data collection tools. The data was managed using the Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software (CAQDAS) package, which is a qualitative data-management and analysis tool. The tendency has been to concentrate analyses around prevention, management and resolutions with little reference to the fundamental consensus-building blocks of a social value system within the fourth industrial revolution era. As a result, this conflict approaches in this article should be accepted within the African indigenous local knowledge system on Ubuntu in African terms.
