1) Changing Minds

Think about the last time you had your mind changed about a topic. The example could be as small as what to order at a restaurant or which course to take or as big as how to vote on a given social issue. Take time to reflect upon and recount that experience.

Then, try and identify what it was that changed your mind. Was it the credibility of the person? their line of argumentation? an emotional message? a change of heart? a new way of understanding?
