What tools can we use to become openminded?
For starter with it is important to respect other cultures. When you respect them you would approach very positively and more openminded.
You could for instance talk with a certain person from a different culture with different values. Try exotic food - which you NEVER ever would have done ! Internet is also a good and important tool to use to become openminded. The internet gives you access to learn, read or even chat with people living on the other side of the planet.
