User: What are the characteristics of forgiveness?





Weegy: Characteristics of Forgiveness: Many people have misconceptions about forgiveness and I listed these key characteristics with the goal that people will begin to understand what forgiveness is and what forgiveness is not. [ (Many of the characteristics on this list came from an article written by Rose Sweet. Click HERE to view her article.) We forgive every time. We forgive even if they don’t repent. We don’t always have to tell someone we forgave him or her. Forgiveness starts with a conscious decision. Forgiveness does not mean we let the offender off the hook. Forgiveness is not letting the offense recur again and again. Forgiveness is not the same as reconciling. Forgiveness is not based on the other party’s actions, but on out attitude. Forgiveness is not needed for accidents. Withholding forgiveness is a refusal to let go of perceived power. ]

Differentiate how Win-Win affects the manner in which we approach conflict situations.
Weegy: he win-win approach to conflict is the best solution because there are no losers, no one left feeling bad. People work together to resolve their differences in a mutually respectable way. [ They find solutions that are acceptable to all parties involved, and they make compromises that satisfy everyone's needs. In other words, no one is selfish using the win-win approach. Everyone's a winner! One example of using the win-win approach is a couple working together in a kitchen. One agrees to cook the dinner while the other agrees to clean off the table and wash the dishes. However, in a win-lose scenario, only one person is left to do the entire cooking plus clean the table and wash dishes while the other slacks off and watches TV. In a lose-lose scenario neither person agrees to cook or wash dishes. They might even argue over this until one of them storms out the kitchen mad. ] (More)
