Answer:
[TEACHERS NOTE] Moves from dualistic thinking—black and white, to Multiple
Thinking—different viewpoints, but hard to reconcile, to Commitment within
Relativism—multiple viewpoints, but can commit to one's own.
Perry conducted a research on college students and states that they move from
dualistic thinking to multiple thinking to commitment within relativism. Dualistic
thinking is more of what is right vs. wrong/ black and white argument. Multiple
thinking is growing to have an understanding that there are different viewpoints to
consider but it's hard to reconcile the various perspectives. Commitment within
relativism is saying that there are multiple viewpoints but that person can reflect
and decide on what they believe and weigh on within those multiple viewpoints
they've obtained.
