I have an undergraduate Psych degree. The training and paradigms you learn in Uni are helpful, regarding what you're talking about here, but I personally believe that no one can ever "truly" remove their own biases from any given situation. |
Bull! I'm completely objective, dammit! COMPLETELY. |

| Well obviously you cannot completely eliminate your own bias. What I am trying to say is that I can usually think of at least some scenario that justifies why someone has done something, even if it goes completely against my position, but there are occasional times when I struggle with even doing that. |

I have found that going to University, studying psychology and sociology in particular, has really aided my ability to see things from others' perspective, or at the very least, I make a much more concerted effort to do so.
However, despite this, I still find that I struggle sometimes to remove my bias and truly understand where others are coming from. Or, I will get a lot of disapproval for trying to see it from the other side.
I also find it frustrating when I am pissed off at something and the BF will try and explain what the other perspective is. I JUST WANNA BE PISSED OFF DAMNIT!! Haha! |
So what you're saying is that you understand how ignorant and misinformed it is to say that homeless people need to just change their attitude and do something about it/get a job/etc.?
If you say no, you haven't really learned much imo. |

| Actually it isn't. At all. People may have believed that back in the 70s before they understood all of the socioeconomic factors that affect/limit "choice", but the majority of people nowadays know better and believe differently. Furthermore, homelessness is a much more complex issue than to narrow it down to "lazy people who don't want to work". Anyone who says that is just proving how uneducated they are. |

I've come to the conclusion that when girls complain (sorry broad generalization) they just want to vent, but guys look for the solution making the girls even angry because they aren't able to just vent.
