The Platforms of Discourse Bridging Conflicting Cultural Realities

Abstract

Conflict is rooted in diverse sources of reality and language cannot alone solve conflicts. It isnecessary to know the party’s grammar and ways of discourse. There cannot be compromise with-out understanding each parties’ reality truths and the rules of discourse relating to the platform ofreality with these embedded truths. This work of theory posits that multiple platforms of discourse,each with differing rules, underpins every type of human interaction, political polarization, cultural andideological clash, and all international relations including that of war. This understanding leads to anengagement strategy for compromise and agreement between the seemingly irreconcilable.
