“Dispute can be a good method of solving problems,” audience members of the Anti-Corruption School for Young Leaders hosted a member of the Public Council, publicist Hovhannes Hovhannisyan, who spoke about rhetoric and the structure of speech in the fight against corruption.
Regular thinking should be:
- Certain,
- Individual,
- Consistent,
- Justified.
“Comprehensive discussions of complex issues in our time, public-political dialogues and negotiations, public debates as preferred and accepted ways of resolving them, developing ways of agreement have penetrated into various, even traditionally conservative, areas of life. The mass media are flooded with ideological, political, economic, legal and cultural heated debates and the most extreme views and clashes can be witnessed at meetings and rallies,” Mr. Hovhannes Hovhannisyan said.
According to him, regardless of mental preparedness, mental temper and tendencies, everyone argues according the circumstances. Few, however, during this follow their behavior; think about their practices, ways to improve communication, more effective methods and principles.
While in terms of harmonizing disagreement issues and agreeing on them as well as developing common approaches, it is essential to apply the principles of sound communication, practical and constructive dialogue as effective technology for compromise. There are many of these rules and principles. They relate both to the logic and structure of the dialogue, to the moral, psychological, aesthetic aspects, as well as to the principles of organization, ritual and conduct processes.
