Keeping an open perspective and both acknowledging and understanding other languages, dialects, and registers helps increase my worldview. I’m exposed to different types of thinking that may influence my opinions, how I view something, or how I understand something. The Museum Artifact Project and the This I Do Believe projects were big proponents of this because I was exposed to entirely different cultures and/or arguments that I hadn’t considered before. Even if I didn’t agree with an argument I was still able to be informed about the reasons for the arguments made by the opposing side which increases my knowledge about that topic as well as my ability to argue for/against it. The Museum Artifact Project exposed me to the culture of the object I was researching and I was able to see their opinions on certain things as well as others’ views on them. It also exposed me to the debate surrounding museums and the argument for them to return the artifacts they possess to their rightful owners. I tried to base my writing on this idea so it was more inclusive of other positions so the reader would walk away feeling more informed. This I Do Believe also forced me to go out of my way to view opposing opinions for the topic I was arguing for. It helped allow me to see opposing points that I hadn’t thought of, and I was able to develop counterpoints toward them. Overall, it helped strengthen my argument because of the inclusion of these counterpoints and simply just by knowing more about the other side’s logic compared to had I not searched for their other points. Incorporating other opinions in my writing also helped strengthened it because it showed I was inclusive to different or opposing points of view and wasn’t tunnel-visioned in my own bubble. Other languages are also important because their interpretation of different subjects may be different and are able to provide a unique way of seeing something.
