Arguments
Arguments come up because of the difference in opinions. The occurrence of a case is subject to the existence of at least two points of view. Commenting on an argument should however happen after a keen consideration of the leading causes of the argument. A case is always solved by coming up with a solution that considers the interests of both sides involved. Listening to both sides of an argument is essential in ensuring that the comments are not biased.
A third party in an argument is expected to give a fair judgment concerning the issue under argument. The ability to make a reasonable judgment is, however, subject to bias if both sides of the story are not considered. An individual responsible for creating a fair comment concerning an argument should find the sense in both sides of the story (Weiss, 2017). Listening to one side of the story has the risk of making biased comments. Also, the reliability of a third party that makes biased comments goes down. For example, a murder case involving a man charged with killing another man could appear to be already determined by fate. Most individuals will be quick to conclude that the murder should be prosecuted. However, the police may bring a piece of different evidence showing that death occurred from an act of self-defense. The dead man might have been a thief who met his death in an attempted theft. Such a twist can change the perception of the whole story. Therefore, listening to both sides of the story is essential in avoiding biased judgments.
In sum, listening to both sides of an argument is essential in ensuring that the comments are not biased. The ability to make a fair judgment is, however, subject to bias if both sides of the story are not considered. Generally, a judgment made after listening to both sides of a story is reliable.
