Quote of the day: 'Fighting the influence of Groupthink'

Quoteoftheday

“To cultivate an opinion with a strong foundation, look at contrasting sources. Assess and analyze the portions of opposing arguments that both match and dispute any preconceived notion you already accept. Understanding a topic from multiple perspectives is the only effective way to comprehend its entirety.  … If an opinion is constructed with considerable judgment, it will be able to withstand attempts at refutation. Once you’ve gotten inside the heads of the opposition, you will have the tools to create a viable argument worthy of contest.” –Nicole Leonard, Western Kentucky University's College Heights Herald
