Comprimise

A compromise is a agreement reached by mutual concessions. It requires one to bend the law to make both parties happy. A compromise is reached when two people have different opinions on one matter and they have to make adjustments to make both parties happy. In the compromise, both parties will have to sacrifice a little bit of what they want, but still enough for them to be happy with the agreement. But compromises will not always be able to be reached. Sometimes, one of the two parties might be unhappy with whatever proposal the other has to give. In these kinds of situation, there is the option to either have no choice but to go with the opposite parties wishes, or to drop the idea of the compromise completely. I feel that compromises are better and more helpful to the people. Without compromise, no one will be really happy with anything they have. These compromises can prevent clashes and riots from happening between the two parties. For example, there was an issue about using the word 'Allah" by non-Muslims. Allah actually refers to all the gods and therefore can be used by anyone. But the high-court judge, decided to not let non-Muslims use the word 'Allah' to prevent any religious riots from occurring. This way, the judge is actually not following rules but for the sake of not having riots, decided to come to a compromise that made the parties happy. Therefore i feel compromise is essential to prevent too many fights, and it is the right thing to do, even if breaking rules is involved.

  1. I think that your on bending the law to make both parties happy is not really correct. making a compromise does not really have to bend to law to make both parties happy, by law I mean by doing something bad and that is not really neccesary in all cases. Yes, maybe in some cases you have to but example- Both parties want a bigger portion of the pizza, both parties by compromise by giving a little bit to the other parties etc, that is not doing something bad and it is still a compromies so I do ont think your view is really quite correct.

  2. I agree with most of your statements but I feel that what Junius had said made some sense. Compromise does not necessary mean that you have to do something bad in order to agree on something. As lonas you guys can agree on something through concessions , I believe that is called concessions. Though I do not admit that sometimes mutual concessions may mean allowing someone's bad or inappropriate action.

  3. Yes, I think that compromise is a good start to resolving problems, but I think that possibly in the future, there will have come up with new ways where people do not have to use this reasoning to solve their issues. Probably, in the future there will be other solutions, other methods to simplfy our thoughts, and when that comes, there is almost no need for compromise.
