Argumentative Instead Verbally Aggressive

        Sometimes we may be verbally aggressive but wish that we had been argumentative instead. I think this is really good idea to change the communication way. Verbal aggression cannot help us much. It may hurt each other and somebody will lose something. For a good solution, we should try to find a solution for our aggressive problem. We can pick the win-win strategies. According to the textbook, “solutions in which both parties win are the most desirable. Perhaps the most important reason is that win-win solutions lead to mutual satisfaction and prevent the kind of resentment that win-lose solutions often engender” (DeVito 260).

            I think being argumentative instead a verbally aggressive is a good win-win strategy.  Through being argumentative we can decrease hurting each other. At the same time, we can also argue to express our thought to each other. Through this way both of us can win through the argument. For example, one day I got verbally aggressive with my friend about who knows more information about food. She thought she knew more; I also thought I knew more information. Finally we figured out a good solution that was we can communicate with each other to study good information. Through this way we can learn more information about food. I think this is good way for us to avoid being aggressive.
