Describe two of the pathological tendencies of the mind and elaborate on ways that you can seek
to challenge and correct those tendencies in your own thinking.
Solution
Egocentric blindness: It is tendency to deny facts that do not support our values
This kind of tendency is quite common in many modern societies, There are many facts that we
all see but deny their existance,
Racism and intolerence to other religions is the best example of egocentric blindness, We deny
completely that racism exist and we also deny we are intolerant.
This kind of behvior can be correct by proper education about others, People must be educated to
respect all men and women equally and must also be thought about tolerance
The very idea of democracy and modern society is based on equality.
Egocentric myopia: It is tendency to think in absolutist way about very narrow thing.
This kind of behavior do not consider others opinion and they just go ahead with very narrow
view and approach
Ex: selection of failed car model based on self acquired mis-information
Such people do not consider opinion of others, their ego centric behavior makes them to think
that only their view is correct and others just do not know anything.
To challenge such behavior we must study and accept facts and figures, We must challenge our
own ego with technical and statistical knowledge.
