Week 3 pragmatic approach

One of the concepts from chapter two that stood out to me was the "Improving Unhealthy Patterns", it is most likely something I can relate to the most. The textbook has a great example of how during an argument we try to correct the person's qualities instead of correcting the communication habits that are unhealthy. I was thinking about some situations and can agree with the book's example that the arguments are completely similar, and in some situations almost the same. When I start to argue for some reason I always start to bring up the negative aspects of the other person's character, instead of just simply working on the argument and that is why many arguments end bad, and after some even friendships can be ruined. What I've learned is a great tip, and to try to accomplish that will be my task during next argument.
