The 7 Conflicts PowerPoint Presentation
This 19-slide presentation is a compact lesson that introduces students to what has been called the "Aristotelian Conflicts." Using a quote by Stanley Kubrick about how every story has already been told the presentation explains human vs. human, human vs. self, human vs. society, human vs. nature, human vs. machine, human vs. gods, and human vs. the supernatural.
Star Wars and Luke "Skywalker" & Harry Potter are used as examples throughout. There is also brief reference to "Macbeth."
