Draw the graphic about how PRIDE inhibits the development of our intellectual strengths and explain how the two factors that surround PRIDE inhibit us from growing intellectually.
- SYCOPHANTS (outer)
- STEREOTYPES (middle)
- PRIDE (inner)
Pride in this scenario is a mindset where the individual will stubbornly hold on to their viewpoint, and is the opposite of having humility and being open to new ideas. Thinking in stereotypes and surrounding oneself with sycophants allows an individual to dig in and protect their selfish viewpoint and doesn’t challenge that their viewpoint is incorrect.
- thinking in stereotypes allows the person to make overly simplified statements and jokes such as “rich people only ..”, “church people only ..”, “no one really cares …” etc. to reinforce the way they already think.
- sycophants are individuals who agree with/don’t challenge the stereotypical statements and laugh at all the jokes which reinforces the way they already think.
