In my country Japan people tend to think that disagreeing destroys the harmony of a group, but now I changed my mind. Disagreement is necessary for a better, more constructive discussion
I think in the Brazil this is common too, it's more intense in Japan but the brazilians have one difficult in accept "no", the disagree is considered insensible though in discussion.
I particularly like the idea of disagreeing during the conversation, litening carefully to the other person and yet, be true to yourself regarding your opinion. I also approuve on not trying to stay polite at all costs. We should be able to, as you say, be guilt-free to disagree at the end of a conversation. Wise words have been spoken o this video :D
I know some people disagreeing with others just to show off . They do that to make others nervous. I know one of them . He is my fellow at work. He is a kind of people whom I don't like discussing anything with him
the way I see we shouldn't agree about every .we should give sincerely our perspectives in order to make change . personnelly I can't agree about something if I'm not convinced. if I have different opinion I'd like to express it in a polite way.
I think that the good disagreement should be learned, because not all people can disagree politely. Some of them won’t listen intently and sometimes they get ill-tempered. It is a bad variant for a productive communication, which leads to broken relationship with a person. Besides, some people, first of all older, put much importance on hierarchy. Very often they persuade somebody who is younger with words like “I know it better than you because I’m older”. I try to avoid any discussing with such stubborn people.
In Vietnam, the old people are not happy if the younger people disagree with them because the old people think : " I am older than you, I have more experience than you. So I say everything are correct and you much listen to me😂". But now, with the exploring of technology and the periode 4.0, eveything change rapidly. So, disscussion is better for life, everyone have their opinion. We must listening the other point of view, respecting politely the desagreement, not accept civility for all because the hirachy.
Being pedantic while making hierarchy reconstruction in an establishment would invite many a contempt due to plethora of dissent from employees but it is necessary to avoid stagnation
We want sam more cause we would like to listen more and more her sharp tone of voice with bit of smile always on her face hope BBC learning English going to go give a positive response
Bad agreement has been a negative thing despite it happens on a regular basis in everywhere. Although civility is labelled as a good thing ,it blocks challenges in life
I think it 's hard to communicate with someone who is really obessed with their own opinion, you wont like to have a talk with them. Everybody gotta learn to argee to disagree.
Why is "is" used instead of "was", which is not in accordance with Sequence of tenses? "He presented the programme ‘A Guide to Disagreeing Better’ and explained why he thought disagreeing is a good thing…" (3:20) "A couple of decades I spent as an elected politician convinced me that disagreement is necessary..." (3:30)
Because here we are talking about the present in the past. At that time in the past, he thought a certain thing at that present time. To give an example: "I woke up yesterday morning and thought to myself "Today is a great day"". It's in the past but it's discussing a thought that was in the present tense at the time - a little confusing, but we hope that makes sense. 😃

Every time i disagree with my mon, she is mad at me, so i don't want to show my point of views anymore, i believe it's normal in Vietnam, do you degree with me?
green spring it depends From my point of view, Vietnamese tend to care more about civility So , you can air your opinion and show your Mom respects . It may help your disagreement conversation to happen less nerve- racking .
In a society with severe hierarchy, the atmosphere is always stagnation. The leaders sitting on the higher hierarchy show contempt to their juniors, and the points of view from the lower can not be attached importance. However, in a democratic society people give civility to each other. I guess so. Maybe it's not exactly true.
India is on high alert as the deadily covid 19 has been spreading the world over and international leaders convened several meetings but they suspended it due to sprawling mortality race in fact it is clear that it is a human to human transmission.

I love the Dalai Lama. I wish all world leader are like him leading our humanity with the message of love and compassion.
Do you know him well?
@@Kevin509wisdom ya. I grew up listening to his message of love and compassion and follow his advice.
I am feeling embarrassed to disagree...especially to say no to good friends
I know some people disagreeing with others just to show off . They do that to make others nervous.
I know one of them . He is my fellow at work.
He is a kind of people whom I don't like discussing anything with him
I have a colleague who is exactly like that. It makes me so nervous and fill me with anxiety every time I talk to him
Thank you very much for the useful podcast.
Thanks bbc learning English

making sentences from the vocab you used would be helpful to understand these words in a better way. I like it more when you make sentences too..

Nice lesson.
When something is wrong and you make disagreement , it's good disagreement
thank you ❤❤❤❤
I'm a little bit pedantic. I sometimes focus on the small details instead of finishing the task quickly.
We're all guilty of that sometimes!
@@bbclearningenglish are my sentences correct grammarly? 😁

Yes, I agree.
But this is not just in Vietnam this is also common in Arab countries and I think it's normally in Middle East.

I feel that Rob's accent is easier to understand than Sam's accent. His accent is clearer.
