Difference of opinion is
prevalent everywhere. It is applicable in each and every field. We can see
people arguing and debating on different topics every now and then. It can often
be confused to be a row but the kind of disparity in thinking we are talking
about is meant for something constructive.
Firstly, it is not possible that
each person is grown up in the same way in similar economic and social
backgrounds. Furthermore, every person has his own moral, cultural and
religious values. So, every person has his own perception towards the world.
That is why, people generalize same things from manifold view points. This
gives rise to different kind of ideas relevant to same thing, and those can be
combined and concluded to deduce a more complete picture. Consider a spider
web. It can only stay in balance if it is connected well in every side. If the
thread from one side is broken, it gets imbalanced. In the same way, different
points about a subject are interconnected. We can have better understanding
only when we can see things from a broader sense. Moreover, even the negative
points can be regarded to draw out positives.
I have found my personal experiences at
UoPeople justify the significance of discovering the divergence of ideas in an
online environment. This fact is much more supported by our discussion forum
posts. The Discussion Forum shows us that it is very difficult for a student to
brainstorm and write about every possible point about the topic. However, it also
allows him/her to read through different responses and grasp any ideas beyond
his/her thoughts. Similarly, we get different ratings for our assignments which
help us in knowing our weakness and strengths from many perspectives and
ultimately aid us in improvement.
Therefore, it must be realized that we need to identify the differences in order to promote better understanding and synergy.
