Where PR is found in YOUR everyday life PART 3

ACTION VS REACTION
----------------------------- = PR
CONSEQUENCE

Have you ever seen a minor car accident where one person was most definitely at fault and denied blame but instead pointed fingers, made accusations or just flat out acted completely inappropriately?

This is a very common occurrence. It is easy for us to loose our 'cool' sometimes in the heat of the moment. Although it can be common, it does not make it acceptable.

Most people who react this way don't deal with the consequences. In your everyday life, you may be able to get away with it. For celebrities in their everyday life, they can't. They need to address that they have made a mistake, reacted in the heat of the moment and issue an apology.

Where do you see that in your everyday life?

In the workplace or classroom sure, you may see people fess up and claim responsibility and deal with the consequences. In a situation such as a minor accident, where you may never see that person again, the consequence goes on without having been dealt with and the communication issue is never tackled.

PR in these situations may leave us with a little more peace and more effective ways of communicating with each other.
