We are living in a world that where we have to interact with different people every day. Other people's behaviors and beliefs can significantly shape ours. There is a claim that we can learn more from people whose views we share than from people who hold opposite opinion, and the reason is that disagreement can cause stress and inhibit learning. In a large extent, I approve of this claim, but I have a different reason — disagreement usually inhibit further communications while people exhibit more communication inclination with people who have a common beliefs and views.   First, in many social situations, people are usually attracted by people with shared views, which will probably lead further communication and cooperation. So, people can benefit a lot by learning more information and carrying out their ideas together. Take my personal experience for example, Lisa and I became friends when we met at the first time, because we have the same ideas that we want to take some actions to solve the inconvenience of students going to downtown. Since our campus is in the suburbs and there is only one bus to the nearest subway station, students usually have to wait more than half an hour for the bus, besides, the bus is very crowded. With the common goal, Lisa and I made an investigation about the students' oppinons, then we came up with a solution that the university provides school buses ferrying from school to the subway station. After we made great effort to persuade school administrators, we finally carried out the ferry bus plan. It turned out students welcomed this plan very much. It was the same ideas that lead to our actions, and I learned a lot of knowledge and skills, such as how to make a survey and how to convince others by powerful facts and reasons during this experience.   Second, disagreement does inhibit learning especially when people's views are irreconcilably contradictory. Suppose this situation, you are a big fan of Harry Potter, but you hear one person criticize these books as childish and unimaginative. You would probably feel hurt at first, and maybe you would try to change his view. But when you find that the man disgusts with all kinds of magic stories, you may give up further discussion about your favorite books. You clearly realized that further communication may cause some tension between you and the best way is to respect his views.   But, I do not disapprove the opinion that people can learn from different views, including contradictory views. By understanding the opposite views, we may recognize the shortcoming of ourselves, and have a more comprehensive understanding about the topic. For example, we had a class discussion about whether the government should spend a large amount of money on space program. I disagreed with it because I thought the government should spend money on people who are extremely poor in our country. However, Some students argued that aerospace industry can bring a lot of benefit to the whole nation. Advance in scientific research when applied to industry will generate huge economic value, so the government's income will increase and they can use the money to build more schools, hospitals, public facilities for the poor. I found this view was quite interesting and convincing. From the opposite view, I understand the influence of aerospace program better. So, this is the example of learning from people whose vies contradict ours.
