The Importance of Friendly Discussion and Reasonable Argument
When faced with differing opinions,we should try to reach agreement through friendly discussion and reasonable argument.Friendly discussion and reasonable argument are beneficial in many ways.
First of all,friendly discussion and reasonable argument can increase our knowledge.When we approach conversations with an open mind,we can broaden our horizons and learn from different perspectives,even if we ultimately disagree with them.Secondly,friendly discussion and reasonable argument can help us respect each other.When we acknowledge the validity of other opinions and avoid personal attacks,we can show that we value the person behind the opinion.Thirdly,engaging in friendly discussion and reasonable argument is conducive to mutual understanding.We can reduce misunderstanding and hostility when we express our views clearly and politely,and respond to objectionscalmly and rationally,which can help build consensus and maintaina constructive dialogue.
However,reaching agreement through conversation is not always easy.By following some strategies such as listening actively,acknowledging points of agreement,providing evidence and conceding when appropriate,we can have more productive and civil arguments.
