Why do teachers (and people) move so quickly into personal attacks when others disagree? We teach our students not to do this. Why can't the adults behave in the way we teach others to?

Are we basing our response both as a speaker and a listener in our personal emotions and/or egos? Or are we basing our responses in empathy? This applies to both sides of a discussion. I think personal attacks come when neither side is willing to listen to the other and neither side is willing to adapt or change their mind which requires letting go of ego and emotions.

There is an assumption, I believe, that the other persons intent is harm. Instead of asking questions, they accuse, label, and demonize based off of their own assumptions and judgements. No one is a person any longer. They are just an assemblance of propaganda and stereotypes.

I think too that very few people seek to truly understand why someone they disagree with believes differently, and how they could possibly have another opinion. Instead, the idea is that anyone who thinks ______ is ignorant.

Hi
How much in hand for 14.5 LPA at nokia, 7.5 percent is performance based.

I graduated in May of 22. I transitioned from being an intern to being a full time counselor, now for 6 months. I feel like I might be catching my agency at a tough time, but as an employee it doesn’t seem to be trying anything to keep me here besides the occasional ‘motivational’ posts from the administrative team. I felt like I was lowballed during my offer, and my negotiation salary was denied since this is technically my first “professional” job. Pt 2 in comments:
