I heard Chris was thinking about learning how to read, but he’s embarrassed and decided not to. Let’s go comfront him and tell him we’ll kick his ass if he remains illiterate.
Confrontation is an element of conflict wherein parties confront one another, directly engaging one another in the course of a dispute between them. A confrontation can be at any scale, between any number of people, between entire nations or cultures, or between living things other than humans. Metaphorically, a clash of forces of nature, or between one person and his own causes of internal turmoil, might be described as a confrontation.
