Students at two neighbouring sixth-form colleges, Alderwood and Brierley, have developed mutual hostility. This hostility arose after a local council announced a single £5,000 funding grant for community arts, which only one college could win. Since the competition began, students have started defacing each other's promotional banners and trading insults online.
Using your knowledge of social psychology, explain the hostility between the students of the academic institutions using Realistic Conflict Theory.
