Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During Glasl's Hardening stage, there is still room for discussion and communication between the conflicting parties. It is characterized by the parties becoming more defensive and taking more extreme stands, but they are still willing to negotiate and seek a peaceful resolution. It is not until later stages, such as Loss of Face or Together into the Abyss, that discussions become much more difficult or impossible.
