solved Week 8 Discussion: When the People You Love Don’t Think

Week 8 Discussion: When the People You Love Don’t Think Like YouRequired ResourcesRead/review the following resources for this activity:Textbook: Chapter 16LessonMinimum of 1 scholarly source (in addition to the textbook)IntroductionFacione & Gittens (2016) state, “Strong critical thinking about complex and difficult social policies demands that we respect those with whom we disagree” (p. 344). The authors of your text ask us to take seriously the points of view of those with whom we disagree.Should I respect the point of view of a misogynist – a person who dislikes, despises, or is strongly prejudiced against women?Should I respect the point of view of a racist?How about someone who believes marriage is only between one man and one woman?How about someone who does not believe that humans are contributing to the conditions that cause climate change?How about someone who denies that the Holocaust occurred?Initial Post InstructionsFor the initial post, pick one point of view from the five questions above that you find particularly repugnant – one that you think is completely unjustifiable. If you were in conversation with such a person, how could you ethically respond to the statement of such a point of view? Keep in mind that you are expressing a value opinion, which requires ideological reasoning, so you may want to review Chapter 13.As you form your response, keep in mind the following; these are things you need to think about but not necessarily to write about in your initial post:Reflect if you are using System-1 or System-2 thinking? Are your responses tinged with cognitive bias?Do you think there is a qualitative difference between believing some races are inferior and the belief that marriage should only be between one man and one woman?Do you think there is a qualitative difference between not believing in human contribution to climate change and not believing in the Holocaust?Follow-Up Post InstructionsRespond to at least one peer. Further the dialogue by providing more information and clarification.Writing RequirementsMinimum of 2 posts (1 initial & 1 follow-up)Minimum of 2 sources cited (assigned readings/online lessons and an outside source)APA format for in-text citations and list of referencesStudent Sample: Hello Class and Professor! The one point of view that I would ask someone to really dig deeper into considering their choice of reasoning is someone who does not believe that humans are contributing to the conditions that cause climate change? Almost everything we do plays a part in climate change. Examples such as driving our vehicles, cutting down trees and increasing livestock. As humans, some things come naturally without putting thought into climate change. We know that these examples are apart of the issue but again it is not something we stop to think about and find additional and safer solutions that will put less harm on our climate. According to an article by NASA, “the rising of CO2 can stimulate plant growth, research has shown that it can also reduce the nutritional value of most food crops by reducing the concentrations of protein and essential minerals in most plant species. Climate change can cause new patterns of pests and diseases to emerge, affecting plants, animals and humans, and posing new risks for food security, food safety and human health” (2021). My personally opinion is that we need to start realizing what we are doing to our climate and try to adjust our lives to where we are using less fuel and not cutting down trees for no reason. These will allow our climate to regain itself and be safe for everyone. References:NASA. (2021, February 8). The Causes of Climate Change.
