Hi everyone, this is a survey I was asked to put together at my institute. I'd like to ask everyone to spare a little of their time and answer these questions. Every vote matters to us!
Of the "rules" I'd single out just one — answer only what you know yourself; don't use Google or Wikipedia. So, the survey itself:
Please state your gender, age, city of residence, and occupation.
Male, archer 100 727, in the Perm area, adept of moral terrorism.
1) Did you know about the existence of the science of "conflictology" before this survey?
No.
2) What, in your opinion, does this science do?
Studies conflicts O_o
Causes, consequences maybe. How to avoid them, how to start them, how to chew popcorn while watching and so on.
3) When, in your opinion, did it appear?
I don't think very long ago.
4) Is there even a need for such a science at all?
There are no "necessary" sciences. If it exists, then somebody needs it. IMHO — there's definitely a place for a science like this.
5) Is it in demand in our country?
In our country mass shootings are in demand.
But I think it is in demand. A little.
6) Will its significance for society grow, decline, or stay the same over time?
Stay the same.
7) Would you personally use the services of a conflictologist? Is there a need for one?
No. A conflict is not a problem.
8) What kinds of problems do you expect a conflictologist to solve?
Bring tea, treat me to cookies. Well, that's just for me personally.
And in a global sense, I suppose, it'll touch on politics and all that.
9) How much would you be willing to pay for their services?
Bite off one finger fewer.
10) How, in your opinion, should a conflictologist look and behave?
Not rise to provocations, argue their actions, accept other people's arguments, understand what's needed from them in a given situation. As in any "profession," they should feel and understand how to act.
I foresee that, with its (possible) development, a thousand idiots will spring up who fancy themselves cool conflictologists able to help (oh boy) anyone, when in fact they've simply memorized the basic course. The way it turned out with the popularization of psychology.
Tomorrow holds no promises
Except the ones we've made
