“It’s the same relationship you have with good friends. Sometimes the disagreements are more fun than the agreements” (Anne Holub 4). 
Most people would be in agreement with this quote. Often times people like to have debates and disagreements rather than agreeing on the same thing. When having group discussions about things, and when everyone doesn’t always agree with everything, it sometimes makes the topic of conversation interesting and gives it a whole new dimension. Many times it is easier for us to talk and focus more on the negative things, than to talk and focus on the positive things. Disagreements give people a chance to hear what is on the other persons mind. In the Blog Critic: “Critical Conditions”, Kris Vire said “That’s true. There are a lot if critics I read because I enjoy disagree with them”. We live in a world where people are highly opinionated and many times want to have a pessimistic way of thinking. When there is a disagreement in a conversation, people want to speak their mind, most of the time they want other people to hear what they have to say. Especially when you are passionate about a certain topic that he or she may be talking about like the quote Donna Seaman said. “Yes, trust is a crucial. As is integrity. So, no, we won’t like everything. But when you slam something, you have to have to be sharp and precise”. Meaning, if you disagree about a comment someone said or a review someone wrote, explain your reasons. Have some evidence some facts to back up your case. That also goes for why people like certain things, for example: Chicago Winters. Well, why do you like Chicago Winters, and give specifics. Also when giving facts about a certain topic and making sure sources and thoughts are correct, to make sure that the facts whether you agree or disagree with the topic is truthful. Chuck Sudo said “I concur. That should be the one thing we can all agree on here, is to have passionate interest in the particular field you’ve chosen to be a critic”. When talking about something its important to have some kind of interest in it otherwise the person may quickly become extremely bored with the conversations. It makes for great conversation and and discussion when the group is versed and education on the topic that everyone is talking about.
