Common Ground

Common Ground Back to Index

	Common ground or commonalities refers to the things two people or groups share, or hold in common. These may include living in the same place, having similar values, interests, or needs, or even similar experiences or fears. Although disputants often assume they have nothing in common with their opponents, they almost always have some common ground – even if it is only a common desire to live in peace and security without having to fear the other.
