Describe a decision you disagreed with
- -what the decision was
- -who made that decision
- -if you told this person that you disagreed
- -why you think it was a wrong decision
- Thank you for this opportunity to let me talk about this topic. I live in a joint family. Recently I experienced a situation when I had to disagree.
- An uncle made a decision which I could not agree with. But being the senior most person in the family, we all had to follow his orders and it did not matter whether we like that or not.
- Being an educated individual, I actually could not agree with him and protested against the decision. This is a great cue card topic for me and I will describe the events here in as much breif as I can.
- My uncle said that from any female of the family would not be able to take part in any outdoor earning activities. Although some of the females of our family were highly educated, uncle imposed a barrier for them to get out of home for any earning activities.
- In fact, it was not a suitable decision from him. I politely opposed with my uncle’s opinion. Actually, it was not the right decision.
- Of course, I appreciate his concern about the safety of the women of our family. But not letting them get involved in any productive activities is not a wise decision.
- So, I opposed the idea instantly in the family meeting. There was a mixed reaction when I opposed the idea.
- We are living in a modern age and not allowing the female folks to work points that we are wasting half of our human resources.
- Security is not a concerning issue anymore in the country and many of the women are participating in wage earning activities.
- If the females of my family do not work out of the home, they will lag behind in the race. And so, I disagreed with the decision for the aforesaid reasons.
Or
- It was a few years back when I was still in college that I was offered an opportunity to go on a voluntary trip to X, the most worth-living city in our country.
- I was over the moon when first hearing the news but all my anticipation and happiness fled away when my parents flatly rejected the idea.
- I was dumbfounded since my time and effort spent on the preparation for our project wasn’t about to be paid off.
- However, I was old enough to know better than making a fuss about it at the moment; instead, I gave myself time and peace before reasoning with my parents.
- It came as no surprise to me when they took their all-time-favorite excuse that I was too immature to take care of myself and that there were plenty of untrustworthy people willing to take advantage of me out there when I was unaware.
- Much as I tried to assure them how well I would manage to stay safe and help other underprivileged people, I just couldn’t get through
- As a result, I had no options but withdrawing from the project with regrets. However, I wasn’t able to hold a grudge against my parents for long because I understood they were just overprotective and genuinely concerned about my well-being.
