William Ury: 美国当前的政治冲突与世界其他地区的冲突具有相似性,例如以阿冲突和委内瑞拉冲突。这些冲突都存在有害的情绪、僵化的立场和激烈的对抗。解决这些冲突的关键在于改变看待冲突的方式,从零和博弈转向共同胜利,即所有参与者都能获益的局面。这需要双方都愿意放下成见,进行有效的沟通和倾听,理解对方的立场和需求。此外,还需要重建个人联系,促进跨越意识形态和宗教界限的合作。南非种族隔离制度的终结以及北爱尔兰冲突的转化都为我们提供了宝贵的经验和借鉴。 William Ury还强调了个人责任的重要性。他认为,政治家需要承担责任,改变其处理冲突的方式。同时,普通民众也需要积极参与,与不同政见者建立联系,即使不讨论政治,也要建立良好的关系。改变需要从个人做起,从家庭做起,从人际关系做起。 William Ury认为,冲突本身并非坏事,关键在于如何处理冲突。我们需要学习如何以建设性的方式处理冲突,而不是以破坏性的方式。我们需要学会倾听,理解对方的立场,而不是仅仅为了证明自己是正确的。我们需要学会暂停,反思,找到更高的目标,而不是仅仅关注谁赢谁输。 Simon: 美国当前的政治冲突根源在于1994年美国政府的转变,导致政治家之间缺乏个人联系,加剧了冲突。政治家们不再长期居住在华盛顿,他们之间缺乏个人联系,主要时间用于筹款,而不是与选民建立联系。这使得他们难以理解彼此,难以达成共识。此外,选区划分也使得政治家们只需要迎合本党的选民,而不需要迎合所有选民。 Simon还提出了一个重要的问题:美国是否需要等待更严重的事件才能促使双方合作?他认为,南非和以阿冲突的经验并不完全适用于美国,因为美国尚未达到那样的暴力程度。他希望找到一个更类似于美国的案例来学习,并探讨如何在家中和人际关系中解决冲突,如何创造安全的沟通空间。

Shownotes Transcript

Fear and anger seem to dominate the headlines. So, to start the New Year, I thought it would be a good idea to find out if there is anything we can do to get to a resolution. And William Ury is about the best person to help figure that out. The author of "Getting to Yes" and co-founder of the Harvard Negotiation Program, he has helped negotiate disarmament pacts between nuclear superpowers, ease religious and ethnic strife in the Middle East, and find common ground among warring factions in Venezuela. So I called William to see if he could start the new year by resolving, well…all of America’s current problems. And the result made me feel quite hopeful. This is…A Bit of Optimism.
