How to use "Contends" in context?
When two people are in a dispute, it can be difficult for either party to come to an agreement. Disputes can range from mundane issues, such as who should clean the kitchen, to more serious disagreements, such as who should be the leader of a country. Disputes can be resolved through discussions, negotiations, or even violence. It is important for both parties to understand the dispute, its origins, and the possible solutions. If a dispute cannot be resolved, a mediator may be needed. Disputes can be stressful, and it can be helpful to have someone to discuss the issue with.
