This can be shown in everyday life to life situations. For example: lets say you are in the dinner table with your family talking about current topics like the BLM movement and there is a person in your family that is against it. Even though you don't agree with them if you hear what they have to say and their reasoning for it then you can not only teach them why what they are saying is wrong but also by thinking about what they said and being able to proof them wrong then you personally will also be more certain of your own opinion. 

Justification: 
To further explain what I said above, there is a lot of times when we close our minds and don't hear others opinions because we are sure that what we think is correct. But we don't ever stop to think that maybe if we listen to others opinion to reinforce what we are saying and at the same time teach people why their information/opinion is "wrong" or at least why we think it is.]]> 2020-09-16 00:36:40 UTC https://padlet.com/21ifort/vsx88oelrzdex483/wish/750010933 21ifort https://padlet.com/21ifort/vsx88oelrzdex483/wish/750011810 RLS:
This is another claim that can be seen in things we do everyday. For example: There a certain situations or topics that have a lot of points of view like the way people feel an approach certain things. A particular situation that I have experienced is that my father has closed mindset as he was raised that way. When talking about topics regarding gay or transgender people (which was frowned upon back in the day) he gets really uncomfortable and its hard for him to understand. But after talking to him and explaining to him he now understands and accepts it because he opened up to and idea that he was taught his whole life that was wrong.

Justification: 
To additionally clarify what I discussed over, the general public that we live in now is very surprising than the one that our fathers and mothers where raised on. The attitude has changed totally and it is difficult for certain individuals to adjust to a totally new reality. However, in the event that individuals open up to differentiating attitudes and really tune in and need to learn and comprehend they can turn out to be more sympathetic and change their mindset.]]> 2020-09-16 00:37:05 UTC https://padlet.com/21ifort/vsx88oelrzdex483/wish/750011810 21ifort https://padlet.com/21ifort/vsx88oelrzdex483/wish/750012486 RLS: 
Going back to my father and how he was raised, he has always had a very "machista" mindset and there for unconsciously he treats me and my brother differently or make comments that are not "okay". This is a mind set which was enforced to his whole generation and what they are used to and have grown up with and when you are surrounded by an idea your whole life it can be difficult change it. But through the years i have noticed and corrected this way of thinking. It is hard for hi to accept that life is not like it used to and that we live in a totally different society than what he lived in. This "new society" that we live in is constantly changing there for we have to learn to adapt quickly to new circumstances which is something my father has never been exposed to so it is hard for him.

Justification: 
To further explain what I talked about above, the society that we live in now is totally different than the one that our parents where raised on. The mentality has changed completely and it is hard for some people to adapt to this "new idea of life". But if people open up to contrasting mentalities and actually listen and want to learn and understand they can become more empathetic and open to new ideas. ]]> 2020-09-16 00:37:23 UTC https://padlet.com/21ifort/vsx88oelrzdex483/wish/750012486 21ifort https://padlet.com/21ifort/vsx88oelrzdex483/wish/750014429 Nurturing contrasting ideas good until a certain point. We have to learn to understand why people think the way they do and how people are raised differently but in that same way we have to teach people the way we think and why we think that way so that they can understand because in the same way we have our ideas and things that support it other people may have that to. ]]> 2020-09-16 00:38:14 UTC https://padlet.com/21ifort/vsx88oelrzdex483/wish/750014429 21ifort https://padlet.com/21ifort/vsx88oelrzdex483/wish/750015501 2020-09-16 00:38:45 UTC https://padlet.com/21ifort/vsx88oelrzdex483/wish/750015501
