Imperviousness To Change

There are many reasons why people fear change. One of the major reasons is the loss of control that can be experienced during change. They fear that they will lose control of their territory and they lose their sense of self-defense (Ten Reasons People Resist Change). This is shown when in Jenny’s

St. John argues that when individuals fear change, it creates more problems and conflicts. However, if people were to embrace change, then this would enhance the lives of all people involved.

Sometimes we find ourselves desiring to break free from collectivism, desiring to be individual. But often times, we cannot speak up, we cannot do anything to break free.

I think change should be feared and resisted depending on the types of changes and why they are happening. I think this because there are good changes and there are bad changes and you can’t avoid all of them because you would end up missing out on a lot of things.

Susan, I read your summary reaction response for part three of the book, “Immunity to Change” and was a bit confused. I was confused because you were stating that the summary reaction response you were submitting was for part three of Immunity to Change but on blackboard it was stating that the paper you were posting was for “Beyond the Wall of Resistance”. However, once I started to read it and saw your comments about gut, head and heart, and hand, I realized it was your reaction response to “Immunity to Change’.

When properly utilized, resistance to change can actually facilitate it. Using resistance against itself is a strategy called “strategic self anti-conformity,” more commonly known as “reverse psychology.” This method involves significant risk as advocating against one’s own private interests has the potential to backfire.
