Positive status quoism can also be defined as a de-
linking policy, which entails finding ways of
peaceful action despite the existence of
controversies. This means that irrespective of there
being a confrontational state of affairs or other
adverse circumstances. Such strategies should be
adopted as may prevent war being waged and
violence taking place. Controversial issues must be
set aside so that present opportunities may be
availed of in an atmosphere of peace. In following
this policy, two gains simultaneously accrue: one,
the establishment of peace, notwithstanding the
pernicious atmosphere created by controversies;
and, two, the optimization of work opportunities,
despite the presence of problems. One great benefit
of this de-linking policy—in that it is the most
felicitous natural formula for the establishment of
peace—is that conducive circumstances for result
oriented actions are no longer a matter of the past,
but become an actuality today.
