5 tips to avoid unnecessary arguments

14 August 2008 3 Comments

We, the human beings are endowed with the faculty of speech to convey our ideas to our fellow human beings. We use the faculty of speech in our various roles in the family as well as in the outside world, to extract work from others or get things done. Therefore, we define the interaction among the human beings as speech or conversation.

As long as our speech or conversation remains smooth, there is no problem. Sometimes, when the people who are engaged in a conversation, differ in their view points on the subject of their discussion, which may lead to an endless argument, the reason being the parties to the conversation may stick to their own view points and bluntly refuse to accept the view points of others.

In the result, sometimes the arguments get heated and even turn violent. Mostly the arguments get heated, when two egoistic persons are engaged in a conversation, the topic of discussion being sensitive and sometimes political.

Therefore, it is our dilemma to find out ways to avoid an argument. The following ways may be followed to avoid an argument.

1) Avoid engaging in conversations involving sensitive topics, like communal violence, communal or caste issues, commenting upon the merits and demerits of a political party, commenting upon the private life of a person etc.

2)While engaging in the conversation with a person on a particular subject, when a person forcefully expresses his views and differs from the view points of the other, it is always better to skip the conversation to some other subject or gently disagree with the other person and not dwell upon the same point or subject of discussion.

3)If a person whom you meet happen to be a person of a different political party other than the one to which you belong, it is always better to avoid a lengthy conversation with him, except some formal enquiries for the sake of courtesy.

4)It is better to have a conversation with a person who has same level of education, experience and view points etc. In other words, conversation between two persons of the same political party will not create any problems in the course of their conversation.

5) Avoid engaging in lengthy conversation and meekly obey to the orders of your superiors in an office. In case you are a student, obey to the instructions given by your teacher. If you have any doubt, get it cleared from your teacher in a most humble and dignified manner.

Therefore, your attitude towards others, also play a vital role in avoiding arguments.

    Crap! I wonder how many of these statements work out with you?

    It’s rightly said in the previous comment – “ways to be a sheep” !

    I would have been happier if you’d come up with something more sensible. This makes no sense to me!

    Well the, “Wow, way to be a sheep.” comment was most likely meant in response to what seemed like, “Do not engage in a conversation with anyone different. Just fit in and don’t express yourself.”

    I kinda of got that impression myself. However I do understand what was being said.

    Now because I didn’t make the “Wow, way to be a sheep.” comment I could be very wrong in what he/she meant.
