Conflict is widely regarded as something that incurs some form of cost to all parties involved, especially for those wielding lesser power in the dispute. While it is oft assumed that these costs outweigh the potential benefits (if any) arising from the conflict and should thus be avoided, there could be situations where the cost is justified or where the conflict is unavoidable despite the potential cost incurred.
Show that the condition of the cost of conflict in every argument when evaluating whether it should be avoided. Provide clear yardsticks or criteria for evaluating and weighing whether disagreements should always be avoided or not, given the costs incurred.
Consider the possibility that some conflicts may be unavoidable despite the potential cost. Consider the possibility that some conflicts may be the right course of action if the potential cost is outweighed by the potential benefits of conflicts. Candidates are able to discuss the worth and value.
