How is argumentation a method of establishing social dominance over others to the point of
verbal abuse, even verbal bullying? There are people who argue for the sake of proving themselves right. They are the types who assert that they are somewhat superior than every one in their immediate environment whether it is family, friends, coworkers, and/or other associates.
I totally agree with your subject and rightly said. I think that we can learn to be listeners some time instead of replying. Yet it can be hard not to speak up when the truth is missing. I do not like to argue or cause bad feelings, I really love peace and kindness, but not all subjects allow you to reflect these.
I believe if a person should post they want you to reply. And when you do , do not be shocked if it is not what you want to hear
That is reality to. But we can learn many things, why people believe what they do.
People have this inborn tendency to dominate over others to prove themselves dominant. Assertiveness of also a way of putting oneself above others so as to get a feeling of satisfaction and self esteem
