Week 2 ; Ch.6 #3

In chapter 6 in Think by Judith Boss, it states that an issue is an "ill-defined complex of problems involving controversy or uncertainty". Arguments usually tend to help us analyze issues and which side of the issue is the more reasonable one. When you identify an issue, you need to think clearly and have good communication skills. An example of this would be if a person's best friend started ignoring them because they had a friend that they had more in common with. The rejected friend would probably feel uncomfortable being around the other two friends, and would no longer want to hang out with them. If the rejected friend went up to the best friend to talk about it, the best friend would most likely get defensive and tell her that she wasn't ignoring her on purpose, and that she has just been busy. This would cause an argument and possibly end a friendship. In order to make the situation fair, both parties should be open-minded and understand what the other person feels, so they could work out the tension.
