I believe that humans have an instinct for conflict.
Conflict seems to be very natural for humans and many people do not shy away
from it. People have the ability to sense when a conflict is about to happen or
has already happened. I believe that conflict is an instinctual trait because
when you see people talking to one another, you can sort of tell how the
conversation is going. You can read their body language, tone of voice, eye contact,
etc. I also think that conflict is an inborn trait because if you see someone
from your family arguing or fighting with one another, you are most likely not
going to be in a good mood because you can tell that something is not right. I
do not believe that this inborn trait makes anybody more or less human. I just
think it is the norm for most people and as you grow up you become more and
more instinctual. Being instinctual is a valuable asset to have because you can
sense when you are in a good or a bad situation, and if you are in a bad
situation you can try to remove yourself from it.
Simba,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your post. I thought that you thoroughly answered that question and gave a lot of good analysis throughout your post. I liked when you talked about people having the ability to know when a conflict was about to happen. I totally know what you mean by this and really liked your description. I also liked what you wrote about being instinctual. Having this asset can really help a person out and as you stated, it can help remove you from a negative situation. I agree that as a person becomes older and wiser, they become much more instinctual as well. Overall, awesome post.
Simba-
ReplyDeleteI think you did a great job this week. I really liked that you touched on nonverbal communication and how that ties into conflict and our natural instinct as humans. Nonverbal communication is one of the most natural ways for people to identify an emotion in another human. Our nonverbal communication can show very clearly that conflict has just arisen or that you are still upset from a previous conflict. I also like how you feel that having conflict makes you instinctual. That is a very great way of looking at it, especially because everyone tends to categorize conflict as something that is negative but typically being instinctual is positive. This shows that they are the same!
