A student wants a music career while his parents prefer an academic one. Which skill helps them reach an agreement?

  1. Critical thinking skills
  2. Peer resistance skills
  3. Creative thinking skills
  4. Negotiation skills
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. Negotiation skills

1. The situation is a disagreement between two sides who both want a settlement. 2. Negotiation skills are the techniques that let two sides reach an agreement or compromise. 3. They work by building an understanding of each side's concerns, which is exactly what is needed here. 4. Critical thinking is processing information to analyse, evaluate and synthesise ideas; creative thinking is generating new ideas and novel approaches. 5. Peer resistance is withstanding pressure from others to keep one's own opinion, which would entrench the disagreement rather than settle it. _Source: NECTA CSEE 2022 Civics 011, Question 1: Multiple Choice, item (vi)_
