DESCRIBE ABOUT A TIME WHEN YOU HAD A DISAGREEMENT WITH SOMEONE
WHO WAS THE PERSON?
WHY DID YOU HAVE A DISAGREEMENT?
WAS THE ISSUE RESOLVED? IF YES, HOW?
Well, everyone have right to express their views. Some opinions are favoured by all, however, some are not. Here, I am going to talk about a time when I had a disagreement with my best friend about bunking school. One day, he asked me to bunk the school when we were in 12th class. Actually, he wanted to watch his favourite actor's movie, but that idea didn't seem right to me. Honestly speaking, I told him to get permission from parents instead of bunking the school. Still, he was forcing me too much, but I couldn't go as my parents are very strict. Moreover, if they would come to know about the bunk from school that they would never trust me again. In addition, I couldn't imagine upsetting my parents. Apart from this, I might also skip my important lectures on that day, which I didn't want at any cost. Hence, I denied clearly and also tried to dissuade him from bunking the school. We had 1-hour long discussion on the negative consequences of bunking the school. Furthermore, I also told him that your parents will upset if they would come to know about this bad habit. Finally, he understood as well as he agreed with my viewpoint. Also, promised him to watch a movie together on the upcoming Sunday. So, that was a time when I had a disagreement with my friend, and we resolved happily.
Follow ups:-
1. If there is a disagreement, what do you do ?
It really depends upon the issue. If it is a minor issue, I don't let it escalate and just tell the person, I disagree with and move on. However, if it's something important, I ask my parents and friends for advice.
2. How can we disagreements from escalating into a fight?
I think we just need to be calm and rational. I think the best way to de-escalate situations is to give them time. We always make wrong decisions when we don't give issues time. I also try to involve a neutral person and ask them for advice.
3. Who do you think should teach children to respect-teachers or parents?
I think both parents and teachers have the responsibility of teaching children. However, I think such things are not taught but rather learnt by observing others. Children pick up a lot of things by watching their parents and so it is absolutely important that parents behave appropriately in front of them.
4. What do you do when you have a disagreement with your parents?
Well, in this case, I am normally forced to accept their viewpoint. I know my parents have my best interests at heart, so I don't mind it. However, sometimes when I feel strongly about something I do try to resist. Sometimes, they do let me prevail.
