The term" liberal bubble"(自由泡沫) suggests that people usually surround themselves with those who hold similar opinions to them. Think about your own social media platforms(社交媒体平台)—who your Facebook friends are, and who you follow on Instagram and Twitter. You probably share a lot of opinions with most, if not all, of them. However, if you're used to everyone agreeing with you all the time, it becomes difficult to have a good conversation with someone who disagrees.
The world is full of experiences, realities, and history. It would be naive(幼稚的) to believe that only your views are correct. We should always make space for the possibility that someone who looks different might have something valuable to offer the world. Carefully listening and being curious about different perspectives, in most cases, can help build bridges instead of walls. We all benefit when we listen carefully—even if we finally conclude that we disagree.
The world we live in is increasingly divided, especially on social media, which means that for most, the only opinions we hear are ones that agree with our own thoughts. So how can we have productive discussions with people who think differently than us？First, follow people who don't look like you on social media. Follow people with different skills. Follow people of many different nationalities. Just reading their daytoday thoughts, in addition to seeing their bigger moments, will help you learn about worlds you didn't even know. It'll help you understand where people are coming from when they do or say something you might push back on at the beginning. As far as having productive discussions, don't try to win others over to your side. Just listen to each other. Respect your differences. Another way is to join a club or organization where many people have different views and are willing to debate with love.
