More likely not than yes. That phrase, in itself, comes to mind of the lazy people in the world that get others to do things for them-- The Tom Sawyers. No, I don't think that progress is achievable without a conflict or a point of matter. My own personal experience would be martial arts. I've been in it for about 10 years now (no, i'm not lying. Literally. You can google or Facebook it), I've been teaching for about 3 or so. And there's no way I would've gotten there without any conflict. I've had-- well, the fact that I'm not skinny--, lots of conflicts along the way. Unfriendly or unwilling people, transportation issues, (balance issues, too), as well as lots of physical. I've been punched, kicked, locked, twisted, thrown, stabbed, and cut. A lot of those from my own self. But regardless, I wouldn't have been able to be where I am today if there was no conflict involved. Progress and conflict are like bread and butter, peanut butter and chocolate (peanut butter and just about ANYTHING), and others like that. If you have a conflict, in order to make progress, you gotta get past it. End of story.
ReplyDeleteYes it can. If you study for a test you make progress. But not all the time there won't be conflict. War is a major thing. Same with debates in congress. But you need conflict to learn from it.
ReplyDeletei think that it can be but most of the time disagreements happen. compromise is a way to make progress with no conflict. the only problem is partys dont always want to give things up. conflict only makes progress when one party wins. in the case of the U.S. government we make no progress because no party can win and no party is willing to compromise. i think that if progress is to be made within a country combined all partys and pass what is in majority of the whole. for progress between 2 or more countries compromise must happen if no compromise then conflict. so i think that progress can be made with out conflict but people disagree so conflict sometimes is the only way.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, progress can easily be made without conflict. In fact, it's especially easy to make copious amounts of progress without ever having in conflict. For example, there would be much more progress in repairing the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy if it wasn't nearly winter. Because of it, very little can be done until the temperature and weather improves. The same thing can be applied to other things, like in Congress. If it was a single party system (no matter how unlikely), there would be much more advancement in the same direction without having as much there to deter and fight it.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, there has to be conflict to have any kind of progress. If you are trying to get something major accomplished and expect to get no conflict out of it, you are in for some fun. Take school for example; you want to do good, and make great progress in all of your classes, but to do so you need to form your schedule around school only. You can't go out and have fun with your friends, you have to stay home and do your homework so you don't lose your progress. The same goes for football, you want to win the games and do well during practice, so you have to focus on football over than everything else. Making plans with friends even has some form of conflict, you make plans with one set, and the other wants to make plans with you too. Then you go through the internal battle with yourself trying to figure out what to tell the other group, since you don't want to let them down, but already have other plans. When you finally find a way to explain it to the other group, you don't like seeing how disappointed the are, and that just leads to more internal conflict.
ReplyDeleteNo, you need to give a little to get a little. Progress can't be made without some sort of sacrifice. an example would be at the end of a basketball game. If you are behind you have to foul to stop the clock and try to get the ball back. Your star could foul out but it is your last chance at winning. If you don't foul you will lose. Remember desperate times call for desperate measures. Sometimes you have to give up something for this.
ReplyDeletePeople can make progress in their lives by changing a habit that some of them had problems with overcoming in previous experiences. They can overcome these habits by occasionally replacing them with better and more healthy habits. Some people in these situations are more prone to certain habits and have a harder time changing them. Other people don't have this problem so much. But, to make progress, one must learn how to also do something and do it right. If you follow directions and do the right thing when you're supposed to, then there will be no problem changing your progress to a higher level. Sometimes, people need to take certain options into consideration. Some of the options that people can choose are the right choice to make, and they make better decisions about changing the progress in their lives.
ReplyDeleteI think it is possible to make progress without conflict, but very unlikely. Everyone has different opinions, and almost always someone will disagree. It can also be a good thing to callaborate and share ideas and get a final product everyone can live with. The degree of conflict usually depends on the importance of the issue.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, progress cannot be made without conflict. When two or more different people state their opinion in order to try to make progress, they will never have the exact same opinion. Sometimes you simply have to agree to disagree and move on. Like when somebody is running for president, there are two different people with two completely different views on how to run the United States. With this, three groups of people are formed. One who supports one of the people, another group that supports the other person, and one group that simply doesn't care or is right in the middle. Fights will be made, debates occur, and from that, the people decide on a president. Conflict occurs, but it has to in order for a president to be elected. There's conflict in everything we do. We can decide on the healthy or unhealthy meal; we can decide on which president we want. Either way, we need to have a conflict in order to come up with a decision.

ReplyDeleteI believe that progress can be made without conflict. I think this, because it is everyones instinct to fight the beliefs or ideas that they don't believe in, but if people would compromise on different things, then we would be able to get somewhere on issues without there being a huge conflict. On the flip side, some of the biggest progress made has been due to conflict. So although it is not necessary to have conflict in order to make progress on things, it sometimes helps get the main idea across about what needs to be done. So in turn, it can be done, yet most Americans just choose not to use this strategy.
ReplyDeleteI don't think so, because people can't learn from mistakes then. I think that you have to take a chance on something that you aren't comfortable with to make progress. Progress only comes from taking chances and not knowing what will come from the chances you take. You can't always know what the outcome will be. My parents always told me, you never know what the answer will be until you ask. I think that that saying goes really well with this. You can never know an exact outcome of something without trying it first. It is like trying new foods. You never know what it's going to taste like, until you try it and you have to get up and try it again if you fail.
ReplyDeleteNo, some sort of conflict is involved in order to gain progress. If you are trying to accomplish something, usually a conflict will get in the way of you trying to complete your goal. For example, if you're trying to study for a test, a lot of distractions get in the way like tv or the computer. You have to overcome the distractions in order to get any studying done. If you cannot overcome the conflicts, then there will be more to come because you didn't get any progress.
ReplyDeleteThere doesn't always have to be a conflict in order to better something. Progress is getting through something like high school , as time goes by you make progress in the year .It could be more of something , as a scientist makes progress on his studies , what it may be . There is no need for a problem to make something better .
ReplyDeleteYes I think there does have to be conflict to have progress. The conflict doesn't always have to be a bad thing. Conflict can help you solve things that need work on. If you want to move forward, you have to resolve some things before to get there. Close some doors to open up new ones. To get through things, there are hurdles that you have to get over to proceed with what you are doing. You have to learn from something bad to improve on something else. So yes, I do think that you have to have conflict to have process.
ReplyDeleteNo, because you always fail before you prevail. In most things you do it twice like writing a paper or riding a bicycle. No one is perfect and everyone in unique. You practice every day and one day you maybe perfect. So that all I got................. Try you best and you will prevail.
ReplyDeletePeople can not make progress without change.In order to overcome certain things in our lives,we have to change our opinions.Because our opinions are changing all the time.Progress can not be made with some sort of sacrifice.There is a quote, no sacrifice;no victory.This is explaining just what I as saying,that people are always changing and that people have to change if you want to have success in what ever people are disagreeing.
ReplyDeleteMinimal progress can be made without conflict I believe, but to actually have true, full progress there would have to be some conflict. There are many different ways one meet challenges and have conflicts in life. It could just be forgetting to bring something to school or it could be an internal conflict about deciding whether to do something or not. Conflict is everywhere in life and cannot necessarily be avoided. In some cases conflict can be nonexistent because of how things run smoothly. You make real progress with effort involved; usually effort requires fighting through some sort of conflict. There have been numerous times I have had conflicts in my life. I learn from my mistakes and continue on for progress. Life is full of conflicts in which are set in our place so we can overcome them and make progress.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, in order to make progress, there has to be some kind of conflict. How do you measure progress or success if you don't have anything to progress or succeed over? For example, a sporting event. The conflict would be both teams are trying to beat the other, and progress and success would be winning the game. But do you really feel successful if the other team doesn't even show up? Sure it counts as a victory, but you really didn't achieve much by getting that. Progress is a measure of how well you are able to overcome obstacles consistently.
ReplyDeleteNo, progress can be made through conflict. If there is no conflict, there is nothing the better the person. If you are having bad grades in school and do nothing, you not going to see any progress from that person. If the person tries and gets his grades up, you will see progress in the person. If the don't over come the conflict nothing will happen.
ReplyDeleteNot everyone can agree on one things. People will always argue and disagree so there will always be conflict. Whether it is an internal conflict against ones self or an external argument between multiple people, progression will never make everyone happy.
ReplyDeleteI think you can make progress without conflict but it won't take you as far in life. You will learn how to be successful and win and be humble. But learning with conflict will teach how to overcome adversity and be positive in life no matter what happens. It will make you a better person in the long run and you will be able to help your friends when they have trouble.
ReplyDeleteI would say no, progress can not be made without conflict. Nobody is perfect and nobody gets something 100% correct every time. Usually when you do something for the first time you have to try it more than once. Like shooting a basketball, the first time you do it you are probably not going to make it. You are gonna have to try again, and maybe again, and again until you get it. The best way to learn something is by failing first. Most people won't learn until they fail. After they fail they will realize what they did wrong and fix it.
ReplyDeleteI think that progress can be made with out conflict. It doesn't seem like it happens like that usually, because it seems like everyone wants to be right. And when everyone wants to be right, there is gonna be conflict, because people are going to fight about who is right and who is wrong. It's inevitable. Fighting does bring about progress, because when you make up after a fight, you're relationship gets stronger.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that progress can be made without any type of conflict. Without struggle there is no success. Like an athlete has to work hard. They have to go through some sort of struggle or conflict to be able to have success or make progress. For instance like medically you have to go through chemo to be able to get rid of cancer. That is an example of a big struggle. It's not easy. Most things are going to be hard to get to where you want.
ReplyDeleteI think that in order to make progress you have to have some conflict.
ReplyDeleteNo, progress can be made through conflict. If there is no conflict, there is nothing. If you are having trouble in a sport and do nothing, you not going to see any progress in that sport. If the person tries and gets his skill up, you will see progress in the score or stats of that player. If they don't over come the conflict nothing will happen to ensure that they in fact get good at that sport.
ReplyDeleteYes. Progress can be made. We as a society need to learn to compromise. That's why our country is going down the toilet. The government can't learn to compromise. In our government system, everybody's mindset is "my way or the highway". If we both give up a little bit of what we want, we can pass laws and help move our country forward. COMPROMISE.
ReplyDeleteYes and No in reading you can make progress but in athletics if you get hurt you will have set backs and will not make progress.
ReplyDeleteNo progress can not be made without conflict because sometimes teachers and students disagree on what should be on an assignment.
ReplyDeleteWell its yes and no answer you can have progress with out conflict if you have a simple plan that everyone understands. If you do not have a plan you will have a lot of conflict so everyone will argue.
ReplyDeleteChange can be made without conflict if people agree in matters of discussions. If you are in a sport or something there is no way to not have conflict as you may be having conflict with yourself. If you are in a tournament then they have conflict with others.
