6.   Competition occurs when two or more people or groups oppose each other to achieve a goal that only one can attain.  Competition is considered to be an important part of Western societies - like the U.S.  Competition is thought to motivate people to make advancements in education, science, and business.       On the negative side, competition can also lead to stress, lack of cooperation, inequality, and even conflict. 

7. Exchange   Occurs when you do something in an effort to receive a reward.  That is, if you do something for someone else, you expect something in return.  Some say that exchange is the most basic and common type of social interaction.  Dating, friendship, work, and politics all involve exchange.  

8.   Conflict   Is the deliberate attempt to control a person by force, to oppose someone, or to harm another person.   Conflicts sometimes begin as competition.  Conflict may range from an argument to the intentional killing of another person.

16. 04 A rbitration   When a 3rd party settles a disagreement by making a decision that both conflicting parties must accept and abide by.  If you watch judge Judy (or any of the many TV judges) you will see them settling disputes through arbitration.  Two parties come to the courtroom and present their arguments and evidence - then Judge Judy decides who gets what or who gets nothing.  She makes the call to settle the dispute.   In the case of arbitration, both parties must agree to accept the decision of the judge or 3rd party.
