msearl3244 - you are very correct in the observation of "have to be willing to look at different sides of things that you may not agree with". My favorite assignment as an adjunct college professor in Psychology was to state "There should be no organized sports teams at any college.". I'd then poll the class as to whether they agreed or disagreed. The assignment was to take the opposite position and write a paper defending that viewpoint. Their grade depended on the strength of their argument.
