EXPRESSED DISAGREEMENT


The concept that I wanted to discuss is Expressed Disagreement in chapter nine. I thought this was important because it talks about people and how they communicate their disagreements with each other: Directly and Indirectly. Something that I found interesting is when Wood sates “ Interpersonal conflict is expressed disagreement, struggle, or discord. Thus it is not a conflict if we don’t recognize disagreement or anger,” (224). This was interesting because a disagreement is not a conflict until people show their disagreement either directly or indirectly. Which means that when people don’t show how they feel then there is not a conflict.  Directly showing your disagreement is when you say something to the other person that shows how you feel because how you are saying something. When someone shows they disagree indirectly they can’t look at someone with a mean face. This lets the other person know that you are angry. You don’t even need to say something for someone to know how you feel.
