Week 2: D3


Pick one concept or idea from this week’s assigned reading and discuss it.  Be sure to relate the concept/idea to you personally by using examples from your life and/or experiences.

I thought that the competitive argument concept was pretty interesting. I have seen this applied to the others as well as myself when there are conflicts. This type of argument can harm a relationship forever because there is one party who is determine to win in the argument. I think it is pretty scary to get into situations like this. Thankfully even though I have been in these types of arguments, one of us in the situation eventually gives in.  A lot of times the relationship can be saved because the other party is willing to give in or compromise with the competitive person.

I have been caught in a competitive argument numerous of times. When I got into an argument with my close friends it seems to never end because we were both competitive and we wanted to win. Of course another reason why one of us wanted to win was because we were also both stubborn and too prideful to give in. After what seem like days, one of us do eventually give in because we either know that this is not going anywhere or we are tired and someone just had to end it. Thankfully this has not destroyed our relationship because we learn to eventually give in.
