Why is truth born in dispute? Each person with surprise studies the world around him, gets acquainted with facts and phenomena, makes his own judgment. But when he begins to interact with society, it turns out that his view is not the only one. And a clash of views is a disagreement. It is found at the household level, in science and in art, even in the political sphere. But what is hidden behind a colorful concept? Any Russian-speaking citizen will answer without hesitation.
Absolute dissonance
The primary source is the Pre -Slavic root, from which the Old Slavic voice came over time . The definition splits into many parallel and equally possible meanings:
- human speech;
- animal sounds;
- any natural sound;
- opinion, judgment.
Using the connecting vowel "o", people added the word "different" in the meanings:
- unequal, dissimilar;
- not the same, different;
- diverse;
- which horrible.
They mean complete informational chaos, when various data, their assessment come from many independent sources.
From music to everyday life
Initially, there was an original interpretation, now obsolete. It was once said in Russia that “disagreement” was a dispute between musical instruments and vocalists. Any composition can be spoiled by bad performance if the team members refuse to work together and try to push through a personal reading of the melody, song. Gradually, two other meanings remained in everyday life:
- divergence of opinion;
- lack of coherence.
The first case occurs when eminent scientists conduct research, their data or calculations do not coincide, and violent clashes of minds at conferences begin. But as an example, the ordinary brawl of hooligans behind the school is also suitable. Since the term only indicates the difference in positions, but does not indicate the actions of the parties as fruitful or destructive. There is a conflict, but the speed and method of solving it depends on people.
The second option is more delicate. When in the orchestra one of the musicians does not fall into the notes, this immediately becomes obvious. And if in a large company the manager does not have time to fill out and forward the documents? Failures begin, other employees without the necessary papers are physically unable to work. Though less obvious, but this is a disagreement in the work of colleagues.
On a daily basis
The word is endowed with a negative connotation, but lacks an offensive subtext. Recognizing the presence of problems, it pushes to correct the shortcomings. There is nothing wrong with disputes or diverging opinions: spouses learn to understand each other, find more effective methods of work in industries, and distinctive directions are born in art. The main thing is that the discussion be worthy and without prejudice to the parties.
