Throughout this process sharing you knowledge differently , you may fall into new areas of knowledge that you didn't think about that could be in your favor or not but will certainly bring value to your knowledge]]> 2020-09-18 14:36:49 UTC https://padlet.com/21dtorre1/cr1bpnja12vy21cg/wish/758925769 21dtorre1 https://padlet.com/21dtorre1/cr1bpnja12vy21cg/wish/758983018 The collision of contrasting perspectives could bring together people in cults or groups therefore generating more knowledge to support an ideology or perspective.]]> 2020-09-18 14:48:54 UTC https://padlet.com/21dtorre1/cr1bpnja12vy21cg/wish/758983018 21dtorre1 https://padlet.com/21dtorre1/cr1bpnja12vy21cg/wish/758984824 Being open to new contrasting perspectives allows us to discover people around us but most importantly ourselves ]]> 2020-09-18 14:49:17 UTC https://padlet.com/21dtorre1/cr1bpnja12vy21cg/wish/758984824 21dtorre1 https://padlet.com/21dtorre1/cr1bpnja12vy21cg/wish/758985959 As a tennis player, there is always a debate between coaches and students about any aspect in the game. For example , technique about strokes such as forehands, backhands, about mobility and footwork, etc. As a coach or player it's easy to encounter contrasting perspectives about such thing mentioned and you''ll have to explain why you do the things your way in order for you to get to the same page as your player or coach. Every person needs a different explanation since we're all different and as questions are being asked by either the coach or player youll have to explain it and adapt your knowledge to a different situation. This is when you are very likely to fall into new paths because of the questions asked about your knowledge and at this point you are kind of improvising with new tools in order to defend your stance. As mentioned in my claim, through the process of the exchange of new questions and answers it will force you to start a new path that will either reinforce you point of view or will totally change it. ]]> 2020-09-18 14:49:31 UTC https://padlet.com/21dtorre1/cr1bpnja12vy21cg/wish/758985959 21dtorre1 https://padlet.com/21dtorre1/cr1bpnja12vy21cg/wish/758988929 In my first year of psychology we read and learned about different cults such as the "Peoples Temple" or "Heavens Gate". I don't consider my self a believer of any of the cults mentioned but I do believe that they hold valuable knowledge. This is because contrasting perspectives from the people outside vs the people who belong to a cult are in a constant battle of the right or wrong ideology. This battle creates two sides, the non-believers that are typically the outsiders and the people who do believe in a certain ideology alongside other individuals who decide to be part of a cult. As individuals who join cults they are sharing knowledge that could be either be right or wrong but they are reinforcing new knowledge as they are interacting with other members. This allows them to add more weight into their knowledge not necessarily making their arguments correct but adding more value to their knowledge to create stronger arguments in a discussion. ]]> 2020-09-18 14:50:09 UTC https://padlet.com/21dtorre1/cr1bpnja12vy21cg/wish/758988929 21dtorre1 https://padlet.com/21dtorre1/cr1bpnja12vy21cg/wish/758989115
When we are exposed to contrasting behaviours I believe its a source in which we have a unique opportunity to learn more about ourselves therefore adding more value to our knowledge. This is because with a contrasting perspective we question the other persons reasoning and thinkingg in regards of your own. This means that you are more aware of the other persons values and morals as well as your own. From this you are able to develop more on your arguments that will bring value to your knowledge. ]]> 2020-09-18 14:50:11 UTC https://padlet.com/21dtorre1/cr1bpnja12vy21cg/wish/758989115 21dtorre1 https://padlet.com/21dtorre1/cr1bpnja12vy21cg/wish/784513195 In conclusion nurturing perspectives add value to your own knowledge in 3 main ways. The first one is that it forces you to communicate and articulate your ideas and perspective differently in every scenario allowing you to develop and bring more value to your knowledge. The second one is that contrasting perspective can bring groups or cults together. This allows groups or  cults to develop ideas further and "create" more valuable arguments to a discussion. Finally the third claim is that having more nurturing perspectives allows us to discover more about ourselves and the way we think in constrast with other people bringing more value to our knowledge because we take in consideration values, morals, etc. ]]> 2020-09-28 14:24:02 UTC https://padlet.com/21dtorre1/cr1bpnja12vy21cg/wish/784513195
