Consider the following passage : Dialogue is one of the most important tools of conflict resolution. It implies a sense of creating meaning through talking or reasoning together. The idea behind a dialogue is to bring together diverse groups of actors with differences in personal experiences, perceptions, and at times, a history of violent conflict between them. The aim of dialogical conflict resolution mechanisms is to create conditions for coordinated action towards a common goal : the end of violence and the emergence of an inclusive and peaceful society. From the above passage* what would you consider the best option for a successful dialogue between two conflicting actors ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

Based on the provided passage, dialogue is defined as a tool for conflict resolution that involves 'creating meaning through talking or reasoning together.' The core objective is to bring together diverse actors with conflicting experiences and histories to foster 'coordinated action towards a common goal'—specifically, an inclusive and peaceful society. Option 2, 'Work on building a meaningful relationship,' aligns with this goal of creating shared meaning and coordinated action. In contrast, options such as domination (Option 1), buying time (Option 3), or creating asymmetry (Option 4) contradict the passage's emphasis on inclusive, dialogical mechanisms aimed at ending violence. While the provided snippets discuss specific dialogue formats like the 'Talanoa Dialogue,' which emphasizes inclusive and participatory sharing of ideas , and the 'Petersberg Climate Dialogue' for high-level political discussion , the passage itself focuses on the relational and constructive nature of dialogue as a means to resolve deep-seated conflicts.
