Understanding Opinion Formation and Evolution Through Personal Experience

This core objective examines how individuals form and defend their opinions, emphasizing the role of personal experiences in shaping beliefs. Participants will explore the process of opinion formation, challenging the notion that conclusions arise solely from repeated facts or the influence of others. Instead, the focus is on understanding how individual experiences lead to gradual changes in thoughts and beliefs. Reflective activities encourage participants to contemplate significant moments that influenced their views, fostering deeper insight into their evolving perspectives.

  1. Our mind and how it evolves Core 01-21D 10/9/13

  2. Objectives: • Consider: • How does one form opinions? • How, and why, does one defend those opinions? • Realize: One’s opinion and collective knowledge is formed from a collection of experiences.

  3. Outcome (or so we hope) • To understand how people come to conclusions, not through constant re-iteration of facts or other opinions, but through experiences. • To understand, and relate to, how personal thoughts and beliefs slowly change due to those experiences.

  4. Reflective Activity 10/9/13 • Option 1 (More Personal): Write about a time where-in your views on a subject changed, either drastically or subtly, due to your experiences in life. • Option 2 (Easy Mode): Do you think that the average person, or people in general, sporadically come to conclusions based on a single moment in their life.
