Things that influence my thinking:
1. my family
2. belonging to the Latter Day Saint Community
3. Being a psychology student
4. growing up in a conservative household
5. media about how I as a woman should act
6. Friends
7. Having a sister who is disabled
Many people now days don't know how to politely disagree with each other. They believe that if you don't think my way or view the situation the same way as me then we must be against one another, and it drives me insane. I have different views than many of my friends and we discuss our differences and respect the others views we don't automatically think that because they disagree that they are bad people who we can't be friends with because if that was the truth I would have no friends because there is no one in the world who holds every view that you do with no differences. I also believe that we are capable of changing our views because of experiences, new information coming out about a certain topic, and because we as a person may have changed with time.
