Document Summary
Can"t seem to see other options that are available. It was all about themselves; no one wanted to back down. Sometimes people don"t see the damage of the conflict until one gets hurt. Lens through which we look @ the world or ourselves ie never totally clear. Tend to self justify our own questionable behaviour so much that we come to genuinely believe the story we tell ourselves about what happened: e. g. car buyers and car ads, e. g. 1847, doctors and babies a lot of women were dying of child birth: e. g. External motivations: assumption: behaviour of other relates to internal motivations (personality, way of being) Can"t be changed; conflict can"t be resolved well: correlating assumption: behaviour relates to external motivations (circumstance we found ourselves in) Externals are circumstantial, therefore they"re not correlate with who we are at the core: we can judge the other for their behaviour/ essence but we can self justify ourselves for our behaviour.
