Learning is a
thinking process, so the quality of thinking is central.
A mistake is not a
failure, but a tool for calibrating and trying again.
The process of
taking a position and defending it leads to polarization and therefore narrow
thinking.
Behaviors that
indicate disrespect (eye rolling, ignoring the speaker, showing signs of
impatience, and cutting people off while speaking) are very typical. Behaviors that indicate privilege are also
very common (dominating the conversation, "correcting others", and
verbally enforcing "order").
