What is the best cover for the articles

Claiming moral high ground to discredit someone’s argument or dismiss their perspective is the easiest way to spot it. People want to follow others who have high morals. So to show superior moral competency to another party is a good use of moral high ground.<ul><li>undermine perspectives</li><li>dismiss ideas</li><li>manipulate the argument </li></ul>

Moral High Ground

Committing to a popular moral cause often displays yourself as a more virtuous person. Even if the sole purpose of supporting the cause was publicity, you wouldn’t know. (Such causes might include: BLM, Palestine, LGBTQ campaigns, and so forth.)<ul><li>supporting causes to look more virtuous </li><li>is a form of publicity and doesn’t necessarily show true virtue </li><li>It’s trending, so you’ll look better supporting the current thing</li></ul>

Virtue Signaling

Shaming and guilt can be very dangerous, because it stems from weaponizing someone else’s virtue and using it against them. By reminding someone of their own shortcomings and faults with their virtues it undermines them. (Basically calling someone hypocritical for not being a virtuous person themselves)<ul><li>Use someone’s own ideals against them</li><li>Emotionally put down opposing parties</li><li>Degrade opposition to look better</li></ul>

Shaming And Guilt

By pretending or acting to be a kind or virtuous person, you leverage others trust for personal gain. If used on opposing parties, this can create a form of debt or obligation that can be taken advantage of later.<ul><li>Display false virtue</li><li>Leverage trust</li><li>Create debt or obligations</li></ul>

Manipulative Altruism

By setting a moral standard much higher than what can be achieved, you downgrade everyone who can’t meet that standard. From there, you can criticize or punish these shortcomings.<ul><li>Unrealistic expectations </li><li>Set them up to fail </li><li>Downgrade the masses rather than one individual at a time</li></ul>

Predestined Shortcomings

By demonstrating that you’re more affluent in a particular moral understanding, you display superiority and make it difficult for people to argue with your moral actions because they are under the assumption that you stand on a higher echelon of understanding. <ul><li>Prevent criticism </li><li>Demonstrate moral competency </li><li>Gain a more favorable reputation</li></ul>

Exclusivity Of Moral Understanding

Learn how virtue can be weaponized. This is used in very subtle ways in our everyday life, learn how to spot them or even use them for personal gain.

Understand yourself and those around you.

How to Weaponize Virtue

Communication can be difficult, especially when people don't understand what you're saying. Unfortunately, they may respond with rudeness or negative comments to try to hurt you. But, remember that it's their own insecurities and lack of self-awareness that lead them to act this way.<ul><li>They may not be interested in or value the same things as you.</li><li>They may say rude things to hurt you</li></ul>

The Power of Understanding Others and Dealing with Rudeness

People may be unkind if they don't understand you. This shows their weaknesses and lack of self-awareness.

To handle these situations, try to stay calm and kind. It's important to understand that their behavior is not a reflection of you, but rather their own struggles. Be patient and remind yourself that you don't need to prove anything to them. Focus on staying true to yourself and don't let their negativity weigh you down.<ul><li>Don't take their actions personally</li><li>Stay calm and kind</li><li>Don't let their negativity affect you</li></ul>

How to handle

If people don't understand you.. just understand them more!

ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT IT SAYS MORE ABOUT THEM AND LESS ABOUT YOU

Two Simple Body Language Tips

Being a people pleaser disables one from taking conflict of any form. The idea about going into a conflict situation is so hyper to these people, that "you're wrong" is something they would never say unless they know the person too well.The very first step for change in pleasing personality is to learn to take on conflicts. And to take on conflicts there's nothing better than "Blame the game and not the player". It is an effective way to indirectly communicate people their faults without being a pain in the ass.

Blame The Game And Not The Player

It's allows you to get your point across with least or no amount of resistance from the opposition, as you don't directly point towards a person saying "you did this or that wrong" instead you divert all that attention to the situation saying that it's usual for people to behave this way in these kind of scenarios. Afterwards communicating that there are far better options available to tackle such situations.

Why "Blame The Game And Not The Player"?

Let's say your close knit family member has lied, or has a fight, or doesn't accept his mistake in a certain situation. What will you do?Instead of saying you never learn and it's all your mistake, you need to firstly highlight the good things about what has happened and then say that at this certain age or in this certain circumstance everyone feels the need to do this same thing but these small scenarios need this kind of resolution mindset and set of actions to solve the conflict situation.

How To Use Blame The Game And Not The Player

Most probably no, the idea about others realising and accepting their mistake is flawed, nobody will ever whole heartedly accept their mistakes. Thaty just how things are, most people learn from their own mistakes and not from others mistake. Your job is to inform them the decision at the end lies with them.Better to make a friend than make an enemy.

Will They Understand And Realise Their Mistake?

"Better to make a friend, than make an enemy."

Conflicts cannot avoided in life, especially the ones you face in daily lives . These situation may arise anytime with anyone be it colleagues, juniors, boss, friends and family members etc etc. The article below highlights one of the best ways to resolve such situations.

Solving Small Daily Life Conflicts with Ease 

Du bist wen du kennst. (You are who you know.)

The book’s german title seems to me to better illustrate how this cuts both ways. Network with intention; network with attention; network for worth.

An internationally known public speaker, entrepreneur, and marketing executive shares practical, up-to-date tips for mastering the skills of networking. Networking doesn’t have to be that frenzied old-school game of calendars packed with stuffy power lunches and sterile evenings at community business gatherings. We’ve entered a new era, one in which shifting cultural values and the explosion of digital technology enable us to network in vastly more efficient, more focused, and more enjoyable ways. A fresh take on How to Win Friends and Influence People, Your Network Is Your Net Worth is an entertaining, straightforward guide filled with revealing case studies, hands-on advice, and innovative strategies for building your network. Written by sought-after speaker, entrepreneur, and marketing executive Porter Gale, with a foreword by Apple evangelist and bestselling author Guy Kawasaki, this book shows you how to establish, expand, and nurture your connections both online and off. New ways to network are popping up every day—and Gale tells you how to make the most of them—but even traditional networking opportunities are not the same animals that they once were, and we need to shift our attitudes and approaches accordingly. Networking has evolved from a transactional game to a transformational process. Whereas once it was about power plays, now it’s about charting your own course, following your passions, and making meaningful connections, which in turn increase your happiness and productivity. In addition to chronicling her own rise from an ad agency intern to an in-demand consultant, Gale also shares the inspiring stories of so many others who live by this networking model: a military wife who connects with social media communities while her husband is deployed overseas, a young woman blog-ger battling leukemia, a dyslexic politician who wins elections by telling stories, and the CEO of a Major League Baseball team who once made a phone call that changed the course of his life. When you focus on your passions and reorganize your networking around your values and beliefs, you will discover the kind of lasting relationships, personal transformation, and, ultimately, tangible wealth that are the foundation for happiness and success. With a message both timely and important, Your Network Is Your Net Worth is the definitive handbook to Networking 2.0.

Alfred Adler was a part of the psychoanalytic movement of the early 1900s that focused on the causes of personality.Adler targeted the role of the family system, including sibling influences, as central in personality.A key construct in Adler’s theory was the inferiority complex.

Adler’s theory of individual psychology

From Adler’s perspective, social comparisons and power dynamics in families were central in the individuals’ sense of self. Adler’s insights led him to advocate the importance of egalitarianism—including equal treatment of siblings—as an important preventive measure in promoting self-esteem.Adler’s interest was the birth-order effects on individual development and the impact on sibling relationship process.

Sense of self & Feeling Of Inferiority

According to Adler, rivalry between siblings is grounded in each child’s need to overcome potential feelings of inferiority.Sibling differentiation is a key dynamic in families.Parental favoritism of one sibling over the other is linked to poorer sibling relationships. Cultural factors also may be at play, such that differential treatment has more negative implications in individualistic than in collectivistic cultures.

Siblings Rivalry

Sibling differentiation serves to minimize sibling competition.
