Lack of effective communication: Poor communication or misunderstandings can create rifts and prevent parties from resolving conflicts or finding common ground.

Selfishness and competition: When people prioritize personal interests over collective well-being or engage in unhealthy competition, it can breed resentment and undermine unity.

Power struggles and ego clashes: Ambition, ego, and desire for control can lead to power struggles within groups, leading to internal conflicts and fragmentation.

Discrimination and prejudice: Prejudice, discrimination, or unequal treatment based on factors like race, ethnicity, religion, or socioeconomic status can foster resentment and division.

External influences: Influence from external sources, such as propaganda, manipulation, or interference, can exacerbate divisions within communities or nations.
