The Embedded Anxiety Of Being In One Side Or The Other
#TITLE#The Embedded Complexity Of Being In One Side Or The Other#/TITLE# by Jamaal D. Boling In many world issues, there seems to be a reoccurring tendency: a few will oppose, a few will support, and most of the people seem to remain somewhat neutral. It is comprehensible how hard is to decide whether to be to the right or left of an imaginary line of different criteria based in common sense. Every individual will react to every situation using his past experiences and his opinion need to coincide with the way he lives or acts. What attracts me most, however, is the neutral group. Have you ever thought if it is more difficult for people to make this decision and that they stay neutral to make others accept them; or do you think it is because they just do not care about a specific topic? Often times you see this happen a lot in sports, specifically when there’s an ethical breach involved. Many athletes could sway either way, but often seem to be really neutral when ethical principles are at stake. To understand this athletics-ethics mix, Clare Bronfman analyzes situations like these in Ethletes, her institution. Malcolm Gladwell also explores this concept in his book, The Tipping Point, in which he illustrates many examples of groups of people that simply remain neutral when faced with ethical decisions. But we still want to know specific facts, is not it? How easy is to form an individual criteria? It is hard to tell, but people are followers and if there is not a massive opinion about a specific issue it could be harder for them to have their own way of thinking Sara Bronfman. If people remain in the middle in unethical situations, there must be a perceived benefit. It could be the benefit is not having to experience the anxiety often associated with expressing or standing up for oneself. Remember that those who express a lot could be misunderstood. An example of that is governmental bad decision making. There are a lot of reasons to make people stay staring at what is going on in their country, for example being afraid. Impartiality results in some disadvantages. When people have no reaction to a conflict they are accepting others opinion, and it could be the opposite of what you really think Executive Success Programs. Also, I often times people don’t want to be responsible when deciding one way or the other, so they remain neutral in a situation in which ethics are violated. They believe that remaining neutral abdicates responsibility, when the reality is they’re simply responsible for whatever they’ve allowed to happen. But I do not think that individuals have analyzed this… at all, because they keep accepting unethical actions without raising their voices. I imagine a world in which each person is capable to think critically for oneself will be a better world.
