I love peace as much as anyone and support such processes as mediation and consultation for resolving personal and workplace conflict. When I read articles such as the following, I grow increasingly concerned about the probable march to war. Why would the Iraq Weapons Inspection team write about illegal weapons in a report but fail to mention them in its public presentation?
I'll look forward to hearing the other sides of this story. I'm sure there are multiple points of view.
This reminds me of an old film universities showed to point out how radically different points of view were formulated based on what the viewer saw. In the film, I believe a woman appeared to have been shot dead in a room. All the students viewing the film agreed upon this outcome. Then the professor showed the happening in the room from the point of view of several different people. While I don't remember all the details of the various points of view on the film, the women was neither shot nor dead.
Investigating a problem at work is difficult because of these various viewpoints. Viewpoints are not unbiased because they run through the mind filters and experiences of the people expressing the view. They also depend on the relationships people have with each other. Getting to the truth is difficult. One of my favorite sayings is that there is her story and his story and then there is the truth.
