I have a workshet that requires me to give 2 examples of each of the conflicts below:

Man VS. Man

Man VS. Himself

Man VS. Nature

Man vs. Fate

Man vs. Society

I was wondering if you can help give me examples on all 5? I especially need help on Man vs. Fate and Man vs. Society, because I don't know whether if Doodle or Brother is the one going against fate/society.
