Demands can be worded negatively, like a ban. Requirements are justified and not, explicit and implied, clear and confusing, open (hard) and hidden (in the form of requests and wishes), polite and not, literate and not very.
Discussing a reasonable demand is a conflict generator. Reasonable demands must be met, not discussed. And if you want to discuss it, then it’s more correct to do it later: first they did it, and then they discussed it.
Demand and Request
The demand is often covered (mitigated) by the form of a request. If so, a cover for a reasonable demand, this is a manifestation of good breeding, if not justified, then manipulation. See →
Starting with a competent request, continuing with a demand is normal.
A demand may sound when you need from a person what he owes you. Must.
Please return the money according to the receipt.
Of course, this is not always pleasant, but a reasonable demand is perceived normally. Especially if it is packaged in a request form:
I have a request to you: I need the money by the weekend…
It seems to be a request, although everyone understands everything: well, it’s not really a request, it’s a polite, delicate wording of the demand. See Competent request And who did not understand this, the wording will be changed to a clearer one.
