If the 2016 presidential election has shown us anything, it’s that it sometimes seems as if opposing views can never be reconciled. In the days since Donald J. Trump has been elected president, thousands of angry people have protested in at least 52 cities across the United States.
So this may be a good time to explore what psychologists and philosophers say are the most effective ways to argue. And by "argue" they do not mean "quarrel," but communicate without rancor or faulty reasoning with someone who has an opposing viewpoint, with the hope of broadening one’ s understanding of people and ideas. Here are a few suggestions:
【R1】______
The aim of an argument should not be proving who is right, but conveying that you care about the issues, said Amy J. C. Cuddy, a social psychologist and associate professor at Harvard University. Show the person with whom you are speaking that you care about what he or she says. The goal should be to state your views and to hear theirs. It should not be: "I am not leaving until you admit that you are wrong, or here is what I believe, and I am not budging from this," said Dr. Cuddy.
【R2】______
Some people start an argument by staking their position and refusing to budge, Dr. Cuddy called it an impulse. Instead, try to understand the other person’s point of view; it does not mean you have to agree with him or her, or that you are abandoning deeply felt objections to, for example, racism or sexism, she said. "Think of it from a courage perspective: I can go in and I am going to ask questions that are truly, honestly aimed at increasing my understanding of where he or she is coming from."
【R3】______
Dr. Gutting says it helps to use neutral or charitable language when acknowledging opposing viewpoints, especially during arguments over politics. Don’t think of an argument as an opportunity to convince the other person of your view; think of it as a way to test and improve your opinions. It is rarely productive to nitpick errors in your interlocutor’s remarks. In his book "How to Argue About Politics," Dr. Gutting writes that, in many political arguments, the people we think we "convince" almost always already agree with us.
【R4】______
A good argument is supported by evidence, but that is just a starting point. Sometimes, especially with political back-and-forths, one side will look only at evidence supporting its own position, conveniently leaving out the full picture, Dr. Gutting noted. "An effective argument would have to take account of all the relevant evidence," he said.
【R5】______
George Yancy, a philosophy professor at Emory University who has written extensively about race, was asked by a student this year why he even bothered to discuss race with white supremacists. Dr. Yancy said he told his student there was a need to inform white people about how African-Americans think about race. "So for me, the condition for a conversation has to be that you are unafraid to speak courageously, and you are unafraid to tell your partner exactly what it is that you think about the world." he added. "One of the conditions for the possibility of a fruitful argument is to allow for some kind of opening up in myself to hear."
【R4】
选项
答案
B
解析
本段首句指出A good argument is supported by evidence,but that is just a starting point,其意为“一场精彩的辩论需要有证据的支撑,但这只是起点”。首句内容出现转折,重点内容在转折之后。通过后文conveniently leaving out the full picture(对事情的全貌假装看不见)和最后一句“一场有效的辩论必须考虑到所有相关证据”可推断出本段主旨为“辩论时候要顾全大局,全面考虑”,B项know the facts与其意思一致,故本题选B。
