To avoid being narrow-minded about narrow-minded people, it is important to consider the reasons why someone might behave in narrow-minded ways. These reasons can include: Life circumstances. Past negative experiences. Mental illness. Low self-esteem. Other things beyond what you know about the person. If someone behaves in ways that you consider narrow-minded, it might be due to something beyond his or her control, such as a mental illness. Rigiditywhich is associated with narrow-mindednessis a symptom of some mental illnesses. For example, some personality disorders might cause a person to behave in narrow-minded ways. Someone who has social anxiety disorder might seem narrow-minded about going out to parties or different social venues. However, the person might simply be avoiding these activities because of his or her anxiety. Some people might be afraid of change due to past circumstances, such as losing a job or a painful breakup. These negative experiences with change may result in a person developing some narrow-minded behaviors. For example, someone who had a negative experience after moving to a new city may be resistant to the idea of ever moving again.
Summary: Be willing to consider the reasons for someone's behavior. Think about the possibility that the person has a mental illness. Consider why someone might be resistant to change.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When you've collected the pods, group them into bunches of five to 10. Tie the bunches together by wrapping string or elastic around the stems. Hang the bunches from a clothesline or door handle in a cool, dry place. Use hooks, string, or clothespins to fasten the bunches to the clothesline or handle. Leave the pods to dry for several days to a week, until the pods start splitting open. A good place to dry the pods is a garage or dry basement. Leave the seeds on the towel to dry for another few days in the same cool, dry place where you dried the pods. You want to make sure that all the moisture has evaporated, otherwise the seeds will spoil during storage.
Summary: Hang the pods to dry. Dry the seeds for another day or two if necessary.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Start by drawing a straight diagonal line going up from the edge of your paper. Don't make the line too long, or else you won't be able to fit the rest of the cap on the page. At the end of your first line, add another diagonal line going down that's the same length and angle as the first one. Make a line that is parallel to the first one you drew starting from the end of the second line. Finally, connect the ends of the first and last line you drew. The rhombus will look like a sideways diamond where each side is the same length. You can use a straightedge or ruler if you want to make the sides of your rhombus precise. Start your line halfway along one of the bottom sides of the cap. Extend the line down slightly slanted away from the center of the cap so it's half the length of one of the rhombus's sides. Draw another diagonal line down from the center of the other bottom side so its the same length as the first one you drew. The diagonal lines coming down from the top of the cap form the sides of the skullcap, which is the part that goes around your head. Begin at the end of one of the slanted lines, and sketch a slow arch down going toward the other slanted line. Make the lowest point of the arch line up with the center of your rhombus to make the hat look like it's in perspective. Connect the end of the curved line to the end of the slanted line on the other side to finish the skullcap. Sketch in your lines lightly just in case you have to erase and draw the curved line again. The board of a graduation cap usually has a button that holds the tassel in place. Find the middle of the rhombus you drew and draw a horizontal oval that's about the size of your fingernail. The string from the tassel hangs down directly from the button. Draw a line coming from the side of the button and extend it to one of the bottom sides of the cap. Once you reach the side of the cap, curve the line down to make it look like it's hanging over the edge. End the line halfway down the sides of the skullcap. Make another line that's parallel to the first one you drew so there's a small gap between them to finish the string. You can draw the string coming down from either the left or right side of the button. The tassel on a graduation is made up of many strings tied together that hangs down from the cap. Draw a small circle at the ends of the parallel lines to form the base of the tassel. Then draw straight lines coming down from the sides of the circle for the strings. Close the bottom of the tassel with a horizontal zig-zag line to make it look like the ends of the strings are different lengths. If you want to add more detail to the tassel, make straight vertical lines coming down from the circle to make it look like the individual strings.
Summary:
Draw a horizontal rhombus for the top of the cap. Add 2 slanted vertical lines down from the sides of the cap. Connect the bottoms of the slanted lines with a curved line. Make a small oval in the middle of the rhombus for the button. Sketch 2 parallel lines curving over one side of the cap to draw the string. Draw the tassel on the end of the parallel lines. Finished.
