We have seen in "1" that as a prerequisite you need to have an interest in people and their cultures sufficiently strong enough to inquire into what they are inclined think about life. On any particular issue, each individual is inclined to take a cultural attitude, gathered from impressions his culture has provided him over time.
He must recognize as a cultural member he has a bias toward any especial issue. Yet, he must force himself to accept other points of view on the topic.. Say, the issue is race relations. Then, he starts off recognizing the prevalent attitude and reaches over to the other point of view, accepting it as just as valid. Not calling any one or another perspective prejudicial, he struggles to ascertain the experiential foundation underpinning each stance, admitting: "I can see reason why someone might aver that position."
