SELF-DEFENSE; SUB-PRINCIPLE: Conflict Communications

Blog Article/Post Caveat (Read First Please: Click the Link)

Look at this sub-principle as a type of communications that can be used not just to avoid but also to deescalate from the dangers of violence. The vastness of what is required to know and understand about such communications is staggering (think about culture and their beliefs, about those customs, their lifestyles and group/tribal dynamics and rules, etc.). It is not just learning to spout out a variety of canned phrases but crosses the boundaries of social, religious, political and human differences. 

It is about not just talking but actively listening but not just to the words but also to the feelings and language expressed through body language. It is like many of the SD subject matters, it is complex. 

Nowhere else is it found that communications span far more than merely talking, it is about how we communicate and in self-defense such things can lead toward peace or toward war. We convey every aspect of ourselves through our communications. We can project attitudes and character by the tone, rhythm and expressions while communicating. We can convey much without even uttering a single word.
