I wonder if this would have been as effective today. In 1970 this communication was delivered and responded to via regular mail. So this correspondence likely took a week or more for the round trip, which doesn't require, but does I think encourage a more deliberate thoughtful approach to these kind of discussions.
Today this communication might be delivered via email or some other near instantaneous form of communication which I think it more likely to lead to escalation. It's so easy to respond without thoroughly considering your response. While it certainly isn't prudent to act emotionally with legal matters, that certainly doesn't mean that people don't do it.
I guess I just think it's interesting how technology has in some ways gotten ahead of people in terms of having healthy social interactions with other people.
- busyant 13y agoI generally agree. I don't know our it's the technology or the age or both, but those letters were far more cordial than I expected.
