Blog #4 Understanding

 What's good y'all, on this post I wanna discuss understanding. When I mean understanding I mean it as in when two sides are arguing, and are able to comprehend and understand why the other side feels a specific way and put themselves in their place. In argumentative essays writers are supposed to do this, or at least in my experience my high school teachers wanted me to completely understand the oppositions side to refute it. Writing argumentative essays in high school can be seen as underrated because you have understand the other side and create a argument for it if you want a good grade. However nowadays we rarely encounter people who can understand your viewpoint and why you see a topic in that way. We as people are very hard headed and rarely try to reach out to the other side and see what is actually wrong, we'd rather just argue about why we are right or why a decision should be made. Reaching a understanding can help so much in today's world as there's so many issues just because a lack of communication or the stubbornness of some people. In my experience I can never get my point across or come to a joint decision with someone as they see their view as indisputable. Arguments, physical encounters, even wars can be prevented if opposing sides can avoid having tunnel vision and come to a understanding of the issue and how to solve it. See y'all on the next one.
