A) Agreements and Disagreements in Attitudes

This document discusses the differences between attitudes and beliefs. Attitudes are defined as a settled way of thinking or feeling about someone or something, typically reflected in behavior. Beliefs involve trust or confidence placed in someone or something. Disagreement in attitudes occurs when people have attitudes or interests that cannot all be jointly satisfied. Disagreement in beliefs happens when people have beliefs that cannot all be true and neither wants to accept the other's belief without challenge. Agreement in attitudes is when interests can be jointly satisfied, and agreement in beliefs is when beliefs can all be true or neither wants them to necessarily align.
