Several Ways to Respectfully Disagree

It’s easier to agree than disagree. But we can learn a lot from conversations where we don’t see eye to eye—if we can listen and talk rationally(理性地), that is. _1  These tips can help keep disagreements constructive.

Don’t make it personal. If you get upset, it can help to remember you’re mad at the idea or concept your parent (or friend, coach, coworker, etc.) is raising, not the person.

Use “I” statements to communicate how you feel, what you think, and what you want or need.  2  For example, telling your mom or dad, “You always remind me about my chores on Wednesdays when you know I have a lot of homework” has a very different tone from “I’m feeling pressured because I have a lot of homework tonight. Can I do those chores tomorrow?”

 3  Being a good listener is a way of showing that you respect and understand the other person’s idea. That makes it more likely he or she will do the same for you. When the other person is talking, try to stop yourself from thinking about why you disagree or what you’ll say next. Instead, focus on what’s being said. When it’s your turn to talk, repeat back any key point the other person made to show you listened and heard what was said.  4  

Stay calm. This is the most important thing you can do to keep a conversation on track. Of course, it’s a huge challenge to stay calm and rational when you feel angry about something. You may need to be the mature one who manages the conversation.

 5  Being helpful and considerate toward family members, teachers, or coaches in our everyday actions helps all of us establish a foundation for those times when we might disagree. 

A. Listen to the other point of view.

B. Using “you” statements can sound argumentative.

C. Then calmly present your case and why you disagree.

D. Respect goes beyond difficult conversations, of course.

E. Avoid putting down the other person’s ideas and beliefs.

F. You want to find your own path and make your own choices.

G. Unfortunately, lots of us either shy away completely from disagreements or lose it when things don’t go our way.

Crossroads International

1.How does Crossroads work?

Crossroads is a resource network.We take goods Hong Kong doesn’t want and give them to people who badly need them.We collect those goods and give them out in the welfare arena (福利院) in Hong Kong, Mainland China, elsewhere in Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa.  71 

2.Who do we help?

  72 They are grass-root groups who have seen a need and tried to meet it.They can’t get the job done without back-up, though, so our task is to help them do their task.Our warehouse is full of goods, from computers to high chairs, clothing to books, stationery to medical provision, cupboards to dining sets.They send us a list of their needs and we try to match it with the resource we have in stock.

3.  73 

Crossroads itself also operates on a low budget.We do not buy the goods we send.They are donated.  74  Nobody in our organization receives a salary.Even our full-time staff work on a voluntary basis.

Those that donate goods and services:

●Factories             ●Manufacturers

●Hospitals             ●Hotels

●Educational Institutions      ●Householders

●Transport Companies   ●Offices

●Other Charities

  75 While we receive large quantities of goods and there is never a short supply of requests for them, we are always in need of hands to help sort and prepare them for shipping.

A.One resource that we are always in need of is people.

B.So Crossroads is just that: a Crossroads between need and resource.

C.What can I do?

D.The welfare agencies we help do not run on large budgets.

E.How do we operate?

F.All volunteer work is done at our warehouse.

G.Similarly, rather than raising funds for freight (货运), we ask transport companies to donate their services.
