Required Resources
Read/review the following resources for this activity:
Textbook: Chapter 16
Lesson
Minimum of 1 scholarly source (in addition to the textbook)
Introduction
Facione & Gittens (2016) state, "Strong critical thinking about complex and difficult social
policies demands that we respect those with whom we disagree" (p. 344). The authors of your
text ask us to take seriously the points of view of those with whom we disagree.
Should I respect the point of view of a misogynist – a person who dislikes, despises, or is
strongly prejudiced against women?
Should I respect the point of view of a racist?
How about someone who believes marriage is only between one man and one woman?
How about someone who does not believe that humans are contributing to the conditions
that cause climate change?
How about someone who denies that the Holocaust occurred?
Initial Post Instructions
For the initial post, pick one point of view from the five questions above that you find
particularly repugnant – one that you think is completely unjustifiable. If you were in
conversation with such a person, how could you ethically respond to the statement of such a
point of view? Keep in mind that you are expressing a value opinion, which requires ideological
reasoning, so you may want to review Chapter 13.
As you form your response, keep in mind the following; these are things you need to think about
but not necessarily to write about in your initial post:
Reflect if you are using System-1 or System-2 thinking? Are your responses tinged with
cognitive bias?
Do you think there is a qualitative difference between believing some races are inferior
and the belief that marriage should only be between one man and one woman?
Do you think there is a qualitative difference between not believing in human
contribution to climate change and not believing in the Holocaust?
Follow-Up Post Instructions
Respond to at least one peer. Further the dialogue by providing more information and
clarification.

LAST ONE GANG!
Remember this old friend from the Summary Post from Week 3?
Many of the examples from the initial post are similar to this fallacy. Not as
outrageous as Homer is doing here, but rejecting what a person says due to
who they are, and thereby not considering the argument itself.
Our country finds itself moving toward becoming a shame culture where those
who have opposite opinions and convictions than the majority can often be
shamed, silenced, or villain-ized.
,Use this discussion to practice this with your classmates, when someone
says something that you completely disagree with, work hard to give them a
charitable interpretation. Try to remember that we are all adults here and then
work to treat all your classmates with the dignity that other adult learners
deserve.

Hi Professor and friends!
We made it!! Thanks to everyone for the last 8 weeks :)
If I were in a conversation with a person who did not believe the
Holocaust occurred, most likely no matter what I said probably wouldn't
get through to them. Thinking about all of the options here to discuss,
all of these opinions are pretty strong ones. I would use system 2
thinking and really think about the best way to respond to someone
who is refuting one of the most terrible events in world history. I would
try and be analytical about why they believe what they believe and the
best way to help them move forward.
Thinking about reasoning on why one would not believe the Holocaust
happening is puzzling, as is many of these options. Remembering to
keep my bias in check, I would try and explore this persons beliefs,
concepts and values on why they don't think this happened. Do they
believe Hitler was a real person? Do the believe he persecuted people
or not? I would let them know that I disagree with their opinion, ask
them for their reasoning and how they can deny all the evidence and
then most likely end the conversation.
See you all in another class! Congrats on those graduating, I will hold
my jealousy :)

Hi, Meryl!
I enjoyed reading your point of view on how to deal with someone
who acts as though the Holocaust did not exist. I agree that system-2
reasoning is the appropriate way to deal with that person. While they
may not want to believe the Holocaust happened, the facts do not lie.
When the facts are presented, there is no more room for believing it
did not happen.
