| Summary: | Most of us will agree that conflict breeds negativity. Having a disagreement with others can result in bad consequences that are costly to aspects of our lives such as social relationships. A majority of disagreements occurs when there is a lack of consensus between two or more people. The process of decision-making is important because it depends on information collected from available sources to produce the best outcome. One-sided information tends to be biased and can lead to undesirable outcomes for decisions made upon it. The double crux is a strategy that is able to reconcile two opposing views to produce a collaborative truth. Collaborative truth forges a strong understanding between two opposing views that results in good decisions. However, this strategy has been criticized for being difficult to practise.
In response, I would like to analyse the double crux strategy and provide a possible solution. I will then argue that the double crux strategy can be used to make rational decisions by providing a magnified view of disagreements. I will conclude that disagreements create opportunities for this strategy to resolve conflict and facilitate good decision-making. |
