Disagreements are a fact of life. They are a necessity for understanding each other, for growth and sometimes as a means of discipline. That said, arguments can get out of control very quickly.
When this happens, both parties of the argument can (and often do) say things that they do not mean. As emotions pour like a fountain, a simple disagreement can turn into a series of personal attacks.

In my previous articles, I have often asked what makes a “profession” or “occupation” perceived as superior or inferior to another. The awareness of such an issue is important in determining whether or not our actions are congruent with who we want to be.
In our society, work has taken on a much more significant role than it was initially intended. Rather than simply working for money, we have begun to identify with our job. We take personal satisfaction in holding particular occupations, and at times feel superior to others who are in occupations that are regarded as non-skilled or blue collar.
