First, list the reasons you can think of for genuinely trying to understand people who hold views you have strong negative feelings toward. (I'm not asking you to list viewpoints you don't agree with. Of course people have
views you don't agree with. The question is what reasons can you think of for genuinely trying to understand
these people and their viewpoints.)
Second, list the reasons for not trying to understand these people.
Third, explain which of the two lists is the stronger one and why.
(Remember your work will lose points if you do not discuss these questions in separate paragraphs.)
