Comfort Zones

Currently this class is early in the year and not everyone is comfortable sharing things close to them or really thinking about questions. Global is a great place to get new ideas and new views on topics that we discuss on class but if we stick to our comfort zone and only discuss ideas and topic we are comfortable with, nothing will get accomplished. I think the class as a whole should learn to leave our opinions behind when new ideas are presented, because if you take what another student says and filter it through your opinions, your gonna be left with nothing helpful and add nothing to the conversation. Instead we should try to leave our comfort zones and try to have more thought provoking statements instead of just agreeing with what everyone else says. Don't be afraid to not be in the majority of the opinion and challenge the idea being presented. If everyone left their comfort zone I think this class could have better discussions because currently I think the discussions are pretty basic and rarely is a challenging opinion being presented. Try to open your views and I think this class would be much more interesting and not like regular English classes.
