Forming relationships with those of differing perspectives can help our perspective shift. The key is to have an open and curious mind.

Everyone should respect others options and point of views. People can change their views. People around us can change our perspective on things. Life’s events can also change our perspective and views as well.

While I believe that my personal morals and values call the shots on my decision-making and thoughts, the aforementioned items have helped to influence who I am.When people encounter interactions in which points of views clash, I often observe a bit of back-and-forth to get the other person to listen to the other point of view. This can be loud, exhausting, and can lead up to disputes. And that’s why people often respectfully agree to disagree or they take the time to simply listen to an opposing point of view. While I believe that many people are stubborn with their thinking and that it takes a lot to change their minds, it’s also very possible for us to change our views about something. This can happen with personal impacts (experience) and when more information or evidence comes out (knowledge). I think that it’s important to recognize that people can change their thinking or point of view and that’s why I believe it’s vital to be open-minded to hear about other points of views and be understanding with the shared goal of doing good.
