> [Conflict] Avoidance is really prevalent in people nowadays

Nowadays? Fight Club was joking about it quarter century ago. Relevant clip:

Western society is made of the weaklings (I think the term nowadays is snowflakes) who will do anything to avoid fight/conflict, I realized it when I returned back after few years in China and saw everywhere these weak people. In China you have to be rude/fast to survive, ignoring other people's interests.

Same experience when I was kid before serving in military vs after serving in military, you really grow up fast over there from teenager.

They should be teaching assertiveness in the schools, western people will nowadays just complain on internet (internet heroes) or find excuse "oh it's just a dollar" to avoid conflict instead of complaining directly where it's suitable.
