The argument above is not so absolutely correct anyway. Only in some situations, like when we cannot control the temper well, as referred in the argument above, the emotion will affect us in learning from people whose views contradict to our own. While it is really important that we are not always in temper when we discuss some issues with people who is not agree with us.
Further more, to discuss some problems with people whose views are in accordance with yours is not always so helpful to you. For example, if the people you talking with has the very similar opinion to the problem, and if the opinion he takes is by accident based on the same backgrounds and is drawled through the same way as yours, then what you can learn from him?
However if you can communicate with the people who doesn’t agree with you, you can think over the view he takes, and also you can find out the basement his view stand by. Once you understand the related details of how he has drawn the conclusion, both you and him will find a mirror, with which you can judge if the view you take is correct. Even though the result is that you are wrong, don’t mind that. You have learned the knowledge about the topic you discussed at lest. In fact, not only have you known what’s right, also you have known the way to draw a correct conclusion.
While does it mean that we can never learn from the people whose opinion is accordance with us as much as from the one whose opinion is contradict to us? The answer is not so absolutely negative. In some chances, we can also learn from the people whose view is similar to us. For instance, if the people drawled his conclusion from a different way, you’ll learn the other way to solve the problem. Fortunately, maybe you’ll find that the other way is more simple or easy to understand.
All in all, how much and what you can learn from other people is not so absolutely depend on whether his views are in accordance with yours. In fact, it is determined by the instance you are meeting.
