  2. Interacting with people of different mindsets can enrich our thought, while sticking to interacting with like-minded people can stunt our mental development.
  3. We should respect the feelings of all religions and cultures.

Answer

  1. Interacting with people of different mindsets can enrich our thought, while sticking with like-minded people can stunt our mental development.
Cross pollination of ideas is not a scientific term but is used metaphorically. Different people have different ideas on a particular topic. An idea can be very brilliant or simply dull but a single idea can never be complete in itself. When we see different perspectives on an issue then we get a clearer picture. By exchanging ideas, we learn many new things. Man has developed so much because man can exchange ideas through the use of language. Let us take the example of the aeroplane. The aeroplane was invented by Wright brothers and because of exchange of ideas, the whole world has benefited from the invention.
