CHAPTER I
PRELIMINARY
A. BACKGROUND
English referring to the resolution of a conflict (usually a debate or quarrel) whereby all
parties tolerate but do not accept the opposing position(s). It generally occurs when all sides
recognise that further conflict would be unnecessary, ineffective or otherwise undesirable.
They may also remain on amicable terms while continuing to disagree about the unresolved
issues.

DISCUSSION
The phrase "agree to disagree" first appeared in print in 1770 when, at the death of
George Whitefield, John Wesley wrote a memorial sermon which acknowledged, but
downplayed, the two men's doctrinal differences:
"There are many doctrines of a less essential nature ... In these we may think and let think;
we may 'agree to disagree.' But, meantime, let us hold fast the essentials..."[1]
Wesley was the first to put the phrase "agree to disagree" in print,[2] but he enclosed it in
quotation marks. In a subsequent letter to his brother Charles, Wesley attributed it to
Whitefield (presumably George
Whitefield):
"If you agree with me, well: if not, we can, as Mr. Whitefield used to say, agree to
disagree."
The phrase "agree to differ" predates "agree to disagree", having appeared in the early part of
the century in a sermon by John Piggott:
"And now why should we not agree to differ, without either enmity or scorn?" (Sermon on
Union and Peace, preach'd to several Congregations, April 17, 1704). It expresses a similar
idea without the play on words.
Its advantage over "agree to disagree" is that it does not pose an apparent logical
contradiction. Game theorist and mathematician Robert Aumann argues that two people with
common prior probability cannot agree to disagree. However, the issues of agreement and
disagreement are about separate concerns. Hence, the phrase is not actually a contradiction,
when the implied parts are inserted: "agree [in principle] to disagree [about other issues]".
The wording can be considered as a form of elliptical phrase, where the omitted portions, as
two separate concerns, will help to clarify the intended meaning of the short phrase. The
agreement is a long-term strategy, as a shared viewpoint of the opposing sides, to leave the
disagreement, about the other issues, as an unresolved matter.Economist Frank J. Fabozzi
argues that it is not rational for investors to agree to disagree; they must work toward
consensus, even if they have different information. For financial investments, Fabozzi posits
that an investor's overconfidence in his abilities (irrationality) can lead to "agreeing to
disagree"—the investor thinks he is smarter than others. A related phrase, normally reserved
for informal and temporary arrangements in political affa.
1. AGREEMENT
A negotiated and usually legally enforceable understanding between two or more legally
competent parties.
Although a binding contract can (and often does) result from an agreement, an agreement
typically documents the give-and-take of a negotiated settlement and a contract specifies the
minimum acceptable standard of performance.
The simplest way to express agreement with a statement is, for example:
I think so too.
So do I.
Exactly. - formal
| in a sense (but…)
| in a way (but…)
2. DISAGREEMENT
Disagreement is used to disagree with someone to take an action that deviates from the
desired behavior. Disagreement can also be interpreted as differences of opinion between one
party and another or someone or someone else. The simplest way to express disagreement
with a statement is, for
example:
which is stressed.
The above forms are used mainly to disagree with statements of fact. To
be preferred:
I don’t agree (with you) (there).
I’m afraid I can’t agree (with you) (there). – milder, more tactful.
Not at all.
Nonsense.
Rubbish.
(That’s) ridiculous.
Well,…
Personally,…
As a matter of fact,…
EXPRESSING
a. AGREEMENT
Absolutely.
Exactly.
b. DISSAGREMENT
(strong) No way.
I beg to differ.
Not necessarily.

Can I add something here?
CONCLUSION
The term "agree to disagree" or "agreeing to disagree" is a phrase in English referring to the
resolution of a conflict (usually a debate or quarrel) whereby all parties tolerate but do not
accept the opposing position(s). It generally occurs when all sides recognise that further
conflict would be unnecessary, ineffective or otherwise undesirable. They may also remain
on amicable terms while continuing to disagree about the unresolved issues.
