4. At the beginning of the chapter, what does the Samuel Butler quote suggest? Do you agree?
Samuel Butler agrees that people have a strong desire consistent and hope others to see.
I agree with him. We usually do something with other people together, and different people have different ideas, if we can not find a compromise, we will not achieve our goal. If you have a unique opinion, and others probably will not change their ideas, so finally maybe you have to alter your opinion. Because you don't want to see the condition that other partners look at you together, certainly you will have no other choices.
Hi Lin,
ReplyDeleteI agree that the nature of most of the world is about compromise, but I wonder if people with unique perspectives have a little more agency or power than you give suggest? In other words, can't they also work to make other compromise or to see things in a slightly different way?
