I’ll give my answer, but still hoping experts like Jim will chime in.

Honestly for me what helps is to remember that Domains and Concerns are the real high level, almost simple stuff. Genres. The really cool stuff that might come up in an English lit class is usually at a lower level in Dramatica. (With some exceptions of course – something like Preconscious in _Zootopia_ is different and deals with modern issues, so gets well-deserved attention. Or a different treatment, like how The Past & Memories are used in such a neat way _Arrival_.)

Also you can usually see the lower level conflicts (Issue & Problem) as existing _within_ the higher level (Domain & Concern). Like why does it matter whose side of _Civil War_’s superhero-control debate you’re on when the superheroes’ activities aren’t causing any trouble? It doesn’t. It only matters _within_ the scope of those activities.
