Everything about Compromise totally explained
In
arguments,
compromise is a concept of finding
agreement through
communication, through a mutual
acceptance of terms—often involving variations from an original
goal or desire.
Extremism is often considered as
antonym to compromise, which, depending on context, may be associated with concepts of
balance,
tolerance. In the negative
connotation, compromise may be referred to as
capitulation, referring to a "
surrender" of objectives, principles, or materiale, in the process of negotiating an agreement.
According cultural background and influences, the meaning and perception of the word "compromise" may be different: In the
UK,
Ireland and
Commonwealth countries the word "compromise" has a positive meaning (as a
consent, an
agreement where both parties win something); in the
USA it may rather have negative connotations (as both parties lose something). In the former
Soviet Union, the word was rather unknown. (See
Intercultural competence.)
Studies in compromise
Defining and finding the best possible compromise is an important problem in fields like
game theory and the
voting system. For example, the
Modified Borda Count seeks to identify which of several options has the highest average preference among voters.

Research has indicated that
suboptimal compromises are often the result of
fallacies such as the
fixed sum error and the
incompatibility error, leading to the misperception that the other side's interests are directly opposed. Mutually better outcomes can be found by careful investigation of both parties' interests.
