Unit10
One of the terrible costs
of conflict is the resulting
damage to relationships. Conflict strains relationship and makes if di
fficult for parties to recognize that
they
share
common needs and goals. The more
severe
the conflict, the greater the psychological distance
between groups. Ex
tremely
hostile
relationships
tend
to
persist and make such conflicts
all
the more
serious.
However
, human relationships also have
the
power to defuse conflict and make
it easier to resolve. In fact, establishing personal relationships is often a(n)
effective way
to
solve conflict. Conflicts cannot be
genuinely
solved unless
the adversaries are tied together
with
some sense of unity and commonality.
First establishing personal relationships with people on the other side
of the conflict can help lessen many of the problems related to conflict. This is
because personal relationships
improve
communication and
increase the general
level
of mutual
understanding and
trust. As individuals
get
to
know each other,

they are more able to recognize and
acknowledge
the other side's complaints. This
allow for
the development of feelings of sympathy and empathy. It also
reduces the
likelihood that
destructive misunderstanding will arise. In addition, programs that establish positive pers
onal relationships between parties are key
in
preventing possible conflicts. This
is
because friendly contact helps adversaries to
get
rid of
stereotypes and see the

It may also
contribute
to increased tolerance among highly diverse groups.
Once
this change of attitude has taken place, the parties can begin to develop a
sense
of mutual
understanding and trust.
Although they may still
have different interests or needs, they can
begin to
approach
these
issues
through cooperation
rather
than
by competing
with or
trying
to
destroy each other.
Establishing relationships can also pave the way for friendly negotiations and conflict resolution. If negotiators view thems
elves
as
adversaries in a
face-to-face confrontation, each side tends do become defensive and reactive. If, on the other hand, negotiators build personal relationships
with those
o
n the
other
side, they will find that many
of the
problems
associated

with
strong emotions and poor communication are much easier
to manage.

Unit8
Have you ever read science fiction novels about cloning human beings? The main
characters
in these novels have been cloned, and
replaced
with
creatures that look
identical

to
them. These creatures
differ from the originals, though,
in
that they show
no emotion and are
not
human. They
want
to
take over

the earth.

Hollywood has often treated clones as
less than human, taking
orders from a
superior
who intends to
conquer
the Earth. It is
no wonder
that much of the
public
has
treated
news
of the first cloned animals with fear
comparable

to that shown in science fiction films dealing with cloning. But what
is
it that we
fear

specifically?
Are we afraid that we are going to be
replaced

by monsters?
Such
Is our fear that
legislation in Congress has been
proposed to
prohibit
cloning and all research
on
it. Some Senators
claim
that the people
working
on

these
projects are
like mad scientists from the movies. But, we need to take a step back and
evaluate

the
benefits of cloning, and not
simply

discriminate based
on
prior

information given
to
us in films. A clone
of any species should
develop
like
it
would in
nature: Cells split and
multiply

while the genetic code remains
intact
. There is nothing
to
suggest
that a clone
of a human would be anything
less than human.
