There is always a conflict between the embrace of new ideas and keeping things the way they are. After all, new things are unpredictable, but reminiscence is safe, but does not result in improvement. This is a never ending battle between the risk to improve and the desire for stability. For example, older adults see fewer opportunities for change (s1) so the risk to improve is not worth it to them. However, young people are more willing to embrace new ideas as they see more things that need to improve as a new perspective. For example, scientists who are earlier in their career or more willing to include new ideas within their paper (s3). this never ending battle between reminiscence and new perspectives results in things becoming worse, rather then better, over time and must be changed.

Evidence: “older adults see fewer opportunities for change or believe that their efforts to change will have less positive outcomes” 

In-text Citation: (National Research Council)

Connection to Claim: This shows that older people don't see reasons to change as much.

Employees try to resist change, inhibiting growth of a company for the future

Evidence: “The employees either try to slow down the change process or terminate the change effort entirely. Hence, resistance is a leading obstacle in the way of an organization’s efforts for improvement, survival, or adoption of new processes and technology.”

In-text Citation: (Rehman 2021)

Connection to Claim: This provides an example in the workplace of how change can be inhiibited

3.  Reiterate your main idea/thesis

The battle between reminiscence and new perspectives not only inhibits change but also results in society going backwards. This is because nostalgia results in memories of a better past and causes the desire to resist any new perspectives that move farther from the "better past." This directly results in worse results, such as reduced performance in jobs or political polarization to some extent. On the other hand, combining perspectives results in lower healthcare costs and improves the insights of research. In fact, combining a degree of reminiscence and new perspectives increased job productivity and resulted in better patient recovery times.

NOTE: in IWA I will make sure to address a cause of the worsening of this problem as explained in my last 3 sources. This is a framework and is not representative of the sophistication I hope to achieve.

Scientists earlier in their career are more likely to embrace new ideas

Evidence: “papers produced by authors with career age 1–10 are the most likely to reference newer ideas in their papers, authors with career age 11–20 are second most likely, authors in career age 21–30 third most likely, and authors with career age 31–40 least likely.”

In-text Citation: (Packalen 2019)

Connection to Claim: It shows how younger people in science are more likely to embrace new ideas

That multidisciplinary research allows new methods to understand results

Evidence:

“Combining approaches frees research from restrictions of individual approaches allowing for deeper insights.”

In-text Citation:

(Wijermans 2022)

Connection to Claim: This shows how in research combing multiple perspectives allows deeper insights

Evidence: “combinations of conditions comprising disinformation, hate speech, censorship and surveillance explain polarization better than an individual condition in isolation.”

In-text Citation: (Vasist 2023)

Connection to Claim: This explains how polarization and the inhibiting of understanding other perspectives aludes to the inhibition of progress, And provides solutions to this problem

This source shows how people assume their perspective is intuitive, when it may not be.

Evidence: “Partisans on both sides overestimate the extent to which stories from their news sources were familiar to contrapartisans.”

In-text Citation: (Beattie 2023)

Connection to Claim: This shows how in politics not understanding each others perspective results in polarization and resistance to certain beneficial solutions

Evidence: “toxic leadership has an effect on job satisfaction and motivation. Similarly, job satisfaction influences employee motivation and performance”

In-text Citation: (Wolor 2022)

Connection to Claim: This is an example of how not “Promoting healthy interactions and two-way communication through promoting collective decision-making and open communication between staff and bosses," or in other words, resisting employee perspectives, inhibits progress.

In clinical rounds a multidisciplinary approach decreases cost and patient recovery time

Evidence:

“Multidisciplinary rounds have evolved to reduce patient mortality, complications, length of stay, and readmissions, and they enhance patient satisfaction and utilization of ancillary services.”

In-text Citation:

(Srinivas 2023)

Connection to Claim: This shows how considering multiple disciplines (with different perspectives) can reduce cost and improve recovery time

This shows how a multidisciplinary approach also helped the staff, not just the patients.

Evidence:

"Cohesive teamwork improved communication between different levels of healthcare workers, and limited adverse events, improved outcomes, decreased the length of stay (LOS), and yielded greater patient “staff” satisfaction."

In-text Citation:

(Epstein 2014)

Connection to Claim:

This strengthens source 7s connection to the claim of improving patient quality of life by showing how it also helps the staff

Engaging patients in decision-making improves health outcomes

Evidence: “There is clear evidence that working to respectfully encourage patient engagement improves health outcomes and wellbeing for patients.”

In-text Citation: (Krist 2017)

Connection to Claim: This source shows that integrating the patient perspective in healthcare decision making improves outcome and reduces cost, justifying my claim that new perspectives improve outcomes

Tradition fathers innovation rather than inhibiting it

Evidence: “Tradition can also derive from an old industry sector. Agritourism is able to leverage on ancient buildings that can no longer fulfil its original purpose, and that stayed vacant or neglected for ages”

In-text Citation:

(Palmi 2020)

Connection to Claim: This source shows how Agritourism allows the repurposing of ancient buildings for modern needs, incorporating the benefits from both such as increased demand and meeting modern comforts, allowing the maximum growth of Agritourism

leadership styles that are willing to challenge the old way of doing things by incorporating new perspectives is effective

Evidence: “The transformational leadership style had significant positive relationships with employees' work engagement and innovative work behavior,”

(Gemenda 2020)
