I recently got into an argument with my older brother that
classifies into Kaufer’s third level of cause. This cause says the people
involved give decisive weight to different evidence. The fight arose because my brother had been
asking me to visit him in Orlando for a weekend. He had been asking me to do
this for about a month, not listening when I explained how busy my schedule
was. He got off of work one weekend and told me that was the weekend I had to
come. I agreed tentatively but during the week things came up that I had to
attend to that weekend, and I had to cancel. In this situation the local value
was that he did not think I was too busy to come whereas I firmly believed I
did. I could have shown him evidence of my school assignments to dissolve the
situation, but both of our prides are too big to be tested in the situation so
it was left decidedly unresolved.
