Despite all qualities of human beings, open-mindedness is a character trait every human being should inherit. The set beliefs and values parents raise their children limits them. The world contains a diverse population in which a variety of beliefs and values are practiced. Our strong beliefs should not be forgotten; instead it should be a part of the foundation of our character so that we are able to put them aside to listen to other beliefs.
Open-mindedness is a virtue obtained through maturity, experience, and the wise. Open-mindedness can be defined as removing personal biases and prejudices in any situation (meeting people, trying food, etc) to help engage oneself into an experience.
Allowing yourself to be empathetic, putting your feet in someone else’s shoes, to try to gain another perspective is being open-minded. Being open-mindedness allows us to think in more than one perspective, releasing endless possibilities to be discovered since different perspectives of one story makes the story better understood by people, so open-mindedness should be a virtue included in the business world. The different perspectives should be every human’s thoughts, beliefs, and values that is contributed to solving a problem.
With more thoughts and different perspectives, solving a problem would be easy.
All non-judgmental people are open-minded.
All people who can look past their negative thoughts about others (people/things) are non-judgmental.
Therefore, all people who can look past their negative thoughts about others are open-minded.
Since this generation is rapidly evolving, (in technology, society, environment) the inherited traits of mankind should change as well, making a leeway of open-mindedness for all.
