2. AMBIGUITY
Definition of Ambiguity
Ambiguity means that what a thing is, is not clear.
Literally, the word refers to a choice between two
different things. In the proper sense it should mean “two
different meanings” because “ambi” comes from the
Greek word for “two”. We see things happen, and then
we decide what they mean. If we cannot decide what is
going on, the event is ambiguous. This is an extension of
the original use of the word.
3. EXAMPLES OF AMBIGUITY
Immigration. Should the nation’s borders be sealed, or should we try to maintain this country as a land of asylum
and opportunity? What information, such as wars, genocides or human rights violations in other countries should
factor in at any given time?
Abortion. Should people have the choice of whether or not to continue a pregnanc y? What factors should be
considered? Why should such factors make a difference?
Suicide and Euthanasia. Should people have the choice of whether or not to continue their own lives? What factors
should be considered? Why should such factors make a difference?
Rigid Reaction: The right answer is A, here’s the evidence and that’s the way it is. Anyone who disagrees is just
wrong. If you aren’t with us, you’re against us.
Abdicating Reaction: I can see how some think A is best and how others think B is best. Maybe they’re all right, I
don’t know. I don’t really have an opinion.
Tolerant Response: I think A is the best solution, though I admit it isn’t ideal. It won’t be resolved anytime soon. In
the meantime, it’s interesting to hear other points-of -view and to share mine.
4. Example 2: Religion
Rigid Reaction: Ours is the only true religion/spiritual practice.
Many others think their religion is the one, and that’s sad
because it’s not the case.
Abdicating Reaction: Religion is just a way to fulfill a need for
belonging. I’ve tried lots of them
Tolerant Response: I’m a proud member of my
religion/spiritual practice. It feels nourishing and uplifting to
me, but I know it doesn’t feel that way to everyone.
5. Example 3. Personal Choice
• A high school senior is offered a prestigious but unpaid
internship for the summer in New York, but he chooses to work
for minimum wage with his friends at an auto body shop.
• A woman decides to stay with the boyfriend who crashed her
car and refuses to admit he was buzzed or to pay for the
damage.
• A 56 -year -old man marries a 25-year -old woman.

8. ABSTRACT
Desmond Morris,English writer and zoologist who
applies his knowledge of animal behavior to human beings.
Since 1968 he has been a full-time writer, but he maintains
an office in the Department of Zoology, Oxford University. He
is very well-known as the author of The Naked Ape (1961), a
study of the human animal.
The book is an unabashed look at the human species,
notable for its focus on humanity's animal-like qualities and
our similarity with apes, and for explaining human behavior
as largely evolved to meet the challenges of prehistoric life
as a hunter-gatherer. His other kooks include: The Human
Zoo (1969) and Manwatching: A Field Guide to Human
Behaviors (1977).“Barrier Signals” is a complete section
from Manwatching.
