The underlying issue in groups of people is that there is always a means of control (which is always good AND bad for different groups), which always wraps around a means of wealth (to various degrees and in various ways for different groups), so it is fundamentally a battleground between conflicting interests.

It can be civil (friendly arguments resolved directly to lawsuits) or it can be violent (cartels dissolving people in barrels of acid), but it always has the same problems - who has control/sets the rules. Those almost always include control of the money, control of women/men in their respective domains of producing kids/violence, and the definition of 'the truth'.
