Dissension Essay
Faced with a conflicting situation, reaching a common consent is tedious and requires problem
solving. There’s also the option to shield oneself away from problems; to hide from with no intent to
complication only proves that: Dissension has become a problematic, easy way out of conflicting
situations.
Lack of involvement negatively affects everyday life. Even in modern government’s modern use
of democracy relies heavily on participation. In politics, increasing declines of voters create less stable or
reliable decisions made in laws or presidential choices. The increasing loss of voters is due to their
unwillingness to participate, or even to understand their vitality in the decision made by each individual.
Expanding skipping of issues causes a lack of problem solving having not exercised such skills. A society
of poor problem solvers would result in over-reliant citizens and controversial issues would never be
resolved. People must face conflicts and difficult decisions, in order to learn from them.
One may be guilty of dissension in everyday life, myself included. Not all of my family members
would make the best decisions, yet due to stress of the situation I would dismiss myself from the
situation as a whole. I am guilty myself, in not contributing to issues I have witnessed to the mere sake
of “not wanting to deal with it”. Silent speakers are just as guilty as crime committers, for if one is not
aiding in resolving an issue then they are only making it worse. Just as easily as those people I’ve known
could have gotten away with their foolish acts, other people could get away with more serious crimes
