Good fighting: Have We Forgotten How To De-Escalate?

The troubled and polarised times we live in, and the rise of social media, have created what feels like an age of endless conflict. Rather than fearing or avoiding disagreement, do we need to embrace conflict and try to get really good at it? Conflict is entirely necessary for intellectual, emotional, and even moral growth, but technology and social media has changed how we fight and who we fight with.  Drawing on their own conflicts (with each other!) and others, The Antoinettes hash out their own trials, tribulations and triumphs in the argy-bargy arena. And naturally, there are disagreements and conflicting ideas as they navigate this age-old primal instinct.   Click here to subscribe to The Antoinettes.
