"We can usually learn much more frompeople whose views we share than from people whose views contradict ourown."; disagreement can cause stress and inhibit learning."

Have you ever consider a question that fromthe people whose views contradict our own or agree with ours can we learn more?Maybe for many people, when it comes to this question, an instant but oftenpartial answer will come to his or her head: “I do think disagreement willbenefit us more….” or “I support that disagreement can cause stress and inhibitlearning…” or something like this. For me, the answer varies much to thespecific situation.

As you know, the modern society is a fastrunning one which will not await anybody if he get lagged and thus making manypeople dive into the “stress pool” too deep. We have to admit that disagreementwill cause stress to some people, especially to those who cannot maintain atranquil mood easily, under some circumstances. To support this, you just needto take a look at the case in which a subordinate is talking with his bossabout some questions. If the boss’s opinion is different from the subordinate’s,you will often notice his getting disturbed.

Not only disagreement can cause stress, butit will inhibit learning as well. Imagine that an economist who is not thatproficient with natural science is talking about a problem with a scientist whooften looks down upon economy, do you think these two people will benefit fromthe disagreement between them?

Although disagreement can cause stress andinhibit learning under specific circumstances, I do not think that necessarilymeans we can usually learn much more from people whose views we share than fromwhose people whose views contradict our own. Firstly, disagreement does notalways cause stress or inhibit learning. Peoples’ attitude toward disagreementvaries much since what he does, where he lives and  whom he meet every day are all different.Disagreement making one person stressed and inhibiting his learning maystimulate another person to work harder and achieve more if he can cope withdisagreement properly. Secondly, granted that disagreement does cause stressand inhibit learning, we cannot conclude that we usually learn much more frompeople whose views we share than from people whose views contradict our own. Tobe brief, these two things do not have causal connections.

Moreover, if you make a mistake, anotherman is coming to tell you that you are wrong, can you say “we can learn morefrom people whose views we share than from people whose views contradict ourown” supposing that you can scrutinize the disagreement between you two.

To sum up, disagreement plays differentrole according to different situation for different people. It may make youfeel stressed and impede you from learning more or make you become more elasticand urge you to strive for your goal, depending on your attitude towards it. Adevil can become an angel if the situation changes, so we shall never say “wecan usually learn much more from people from whose views we share than fromwhose views contradict our own” so absolutely.
