Re: [LPW #44]Cool Guys Don't Look At Explosions
hmmm still not too sure~ but there's a few things to say maybe?
Empathy is a valued skill in understanding and dealing with other people~ they have more tolerance than most people i believe.
It's something that not everyone learns tho, and it may become difficult to learn later in life.
Part of this is Emotional Intelligence, which some people argue could be better than IQ.
(random fact~ IQ was originally made to help people who aren't doing well in school)
"Logical" thinkers may or may not be able to have tolerance. They seem to prefer their way of thinking sometimes strongly. It takes some step-processes to convince them to see the other side of the fence~ they can't simply feel and become the other person like empathy people can. They may try to put a hole in what you're saying, in an attempt to be right x-x
Conformity would work okay~ but it's hard unless you know how it works x-x
the idea is that a person begins to blindly follow others without thinking. it usually takes 3 opinions to confuse the person enough to make them begin to question themselves.
Age is another important factor~ There are some theoretical stages of development in life. People often take the first ones handed to them, but there are exceptions. If you get them before they enter into true adulthood, (18-24), you might have them~
after that age, people are often set in their ways and either refuse or cannot change. There can be some changes still of course~
Creative thinking could gently introduce the idea~ things like music, poetry, movies etc could express something that a person might not agree with, but would excuse it anyway. Anime is a perfect example. There is plenty of things like crossdressing that try to subtly introduce same-gender love.
soo that's just a few thoughts~ idk :P
