Why does that happen and how can you distinguish this from an real disagreement? Some years ago I\u00a0came across\u00a0the concept of &#8220;worldviews&#8221; while looking for guidance on\u00a0managing conflict. The idea is that two different people can look at the same thing and see something different; or rather<strong> perceive<\/strong> something different.\u00a0The\u00a0apparent difference leads to the debate or argument, which if carried to its conclusion demonstrates the zones of both\u00a0agreement and difference.\u00a0 When this is done\u00a0both protagonists can learn from each\u00a0other and expand their worldviews and their common ground.\u00a0 If\u00a0the debate never takes place then\u00a0their views remain polarised,\u00a0no exchange happens, no learning takes place and the\u00a0common ground does not grow. So\u00a0is heated\u00a0debate\u00a0a good thing? Well it depends on the outcome you want.\u00a0 If\u00a0you want\u00a0to improve, learn, change and expand your\u00a0perspective\u00a0then &#8220;yes&#8221;; if you want to\u00a0change someone else&#8217;s\u00a0opinion to match yours then &#8220;no&#8221;.\u00a0 Improvement implies\u00a0change; change imples learning; and learning implies an altered\u00a0perspective.\u00a0 So engaging in heated debate and achieving heated agreement is a\u00a0sensible improvement strategy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you ever feel that during a heated debate you are actually arguing the same point?\u00a0You are in agreement, or rather &#8220;heated agreement&#8221;.
