Q: Every person has their own perspectives and opinions that are formed based on their experiences. Acknowledging that other people have perspectives that differ from yours will help you to more holistically consider your own views and begin changing them. You cannot begin to change your own perspectives without considering and acknowledging that your truth is not the only or right view. For example, if you believe that women can't be heads of state or CEOs, understand that there are many people in this world who don't share your view. Otherwise, countries like Norway or Great Britain or companies such as Yahoo wouldn't have had women at their helms. A good exercise to help you understand different perspectives is to choose a cultural trait that you do not possess. Try to imagine how that cultural belief might impact your perspective on a number of issues. If you know someone who has different perspectives than you, ask him if you can have a friendly conversation and exchange views. This kind of conversation can help you to understand other viewpoints and may provide you context or information that may change your own perspective. Ask your conversation mate lots of questions about his perspectives and what informs them. Ask if he's ever had a change in his views or even how he develops his perspectives over time. Always be respectful of other perspectives and don't debate or fight with a person about his views. Being respectful and not debating will give you the chance to consider his views and see how they fit with yours. You may find that even if don't see eye to eye, that he has good ideas that can help you change your perspectives. Remember that you can learn from any conversation, even if it's to support your own views. Arguing is counterproductive and may keep you from developing.
A: Acknowledge that other people have different perspectives. Talk to someone else about his perspectives and what informs them. Be respectful and don't debate.

Q: Pineapples do not need to be refrigerated for the first few days you have them at home. In fact, if you intend to eat your pineapple within a day or two of purchasing it, feel free to just store it on your counter. Keep an eye on your pineapple to make sure it doesn't begin to exhibit signs of deterioration as it sits. It is recommended that you purchase your pineapple on the same day you intend to eat it so as to avoid deterioration. If you would like to prolong the life of your pineapple for a few more days, you can keep it in your refrigerator. Remember, pineapples do not have a significant shelf life even when refrigerated so it is recommended that you eat your pineapple within 3-5 days even when using this method. Wrap the pineapple in plastic before placing it in the refrigerator. Check the pineapple each day for signs of deterioration. You can prolong the life of your pineapple by another day or two beyond simply refrigerating it by slicing it first. It can be more difficult to know if your pineapple has begun to deteriorate once it is sliced, so it is recommended that you eat the pineapple within 6 days of purchase even using this method. Use a serrated knife to cut off the top of the pineapple off, then slice off each of the sides. Once you have the outer portion of the pineapple removed, slice it to a thickness of your liking, then use a cookie cutter or knife to remove the core from the center of the slices. Store your pineapple slices in an airtight container like Tupperware to maximize its lifespan.
A:
Store the pineapple on your counter. Refrigerate your pineapple whole. Refrigerate sliced pineapple.
