Blog 11: The Concept of the Other

The “Other” as defined by me would be a person who is closed minded, judgmental, hypocrite, and full of themselves. I’ve never been a fan of ego’s and demanding figures or leaders. To me this person or character has no role in society but to be the example of exactly what not to be. A closed minded attitude hinders any relationship that person and I could ever have. I prefer to have a sort of two way street in terms of communication. To have a road block do to a person’s lack to understand difference of opinion would truly just aggravate me. Judgmental, hypocritical, and egocentric are other attributes which I would closely associate to the “Other”. These attributes are ones that’s I’ve encountered in people within my life throughout different experiences. From what I have felt and have come to understand a person holding such attributes would not make a good candidate to be around myself. The reason for this is mainly that our personalities would clash and lead to arguments that could never arrive at a common ground. So I tend to avoid it as soon as I see one of these characteristic come fourth in a person.
