Annotation	An analytical framework for studying conflict in communities is applied to case examples, to illustrate the nature and variety of conflict in retirement communities. These case examples are drawn from the authors' observations and from previously published reports in related literature. These examples indicate that for some residents, participation in community conflict is viewed as a kind of "recreation", which most others tend to avoid. Unless their economic interests or style of life are severely threatened or a major change is involved, the residents will generally attempt to avoid situations that result in conflict. (RH).
