Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

No, fighting is never the only way to resolve differences of opinion. Any differences between two parties or people can be resolved in a coolheaded manner through discussion. Even if the difference of opinion continues, a middleman should try to resolve the conflict between the two parties peacefully.

Q2Written answer

Have you ever been in a serious fight only to realize that it was unnecessary and futile? Share your experience/views with others frankly and honestly.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Yes, it is in human nature to pick a fight on minor issues sometimes. However, such fights or arguments can be resolved through discussion and respecting each other’s point of view. Once both parties agree to resolve the conflict, they can do it peacefully without hurting each other’s emotions and sentiments.

Q3Written answer

Why do some of us find it necessary to prove that we are better than others? Will you be amused or annoyed to read the following sign at the back of the car in front of you?

“I may be going slow, but I am ahead of you.”

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

It is common in human nature when one person tries to pull down another by exhibiting one’s superiority over the other person. We should avoid ego clashes and misunderstandings from creeping into our relationships with other people.

In my opinion, I would be amused to read the sign “I may be going slow, but I am ahead of you.” and take it on a lighter note and laugh it off.
