Contraception (birth control) is a regimen of one or more actions, devices, or medications followed in order to deliberately prevent or reduce the likelihood of a woman becoming pregnant or giving birth. Therefore contraception is the utilization of various and sundry surgical procedures, devices, practices, agents, or drugs with the intention of preventing conception or impregnation (pregnancy). Methods and intentions typically termed birth control may be considered a pivotal ingredient to family planning. Birth control is a controversial political and ethical issue in many cultures and religions, and although it is generally less controversial than abortion specifically.

ABSTRACT

The use of dialogue to solve a problem or resolve a conflict is described. This method is based on the assumption

that the stability or rigidity of an individual's point of view is based on the perceived threatening nature of alternate

perspectives. Thus, the dialogue method seeks to reduce the threat and create an optimal environment for the

exploration of new approaches. 3 procedures are used to improve dialogue: 1) satisfy the other participant that their

point of view has been understood by restating it in your own words; 2) establish the region of validity of the other

position, i.e., the conditions under which you would accept this position as valid; and 3) induce the region of

similarity among the participants and their points of view. This method can be effectively used in family planning

communication. Similarities between the perspectives of demographers, administrators, social scientists, field

workers, and rural couples should be sought through dialogue. Such a process can give participants a better idea of

why others think the way they do and a greater tolerance and appreciation of other points of view. The document

includes a hypothetical dialogue illustrating this method of communication, as well as discussion questions.
