Question: Familiarize yourself with Piaget's concept of egocentrism-the notion that an individual believes everyone else must think, see, hear, feel, and experience the world just as he does, Now recall experiences you have had with adults who believe the same thing. It may be someone else, or it may even be you! Many of our assumptions about those we work and live with result from egocentric tendencies If we have particular opinions, values, or expectations, we often function as though others share those same notions. We may perceive particular situations in a way that we then expect others to do as well. it is not until we are met with disappointment or shock that we come to realize (if we even do) that just because we looked at something from a particular point of View, that (oh, my gosh!) not everyone did. Start paying attention to how you initially assume other people experience the world -you may be surprised. Share an example of a time you thought someone shared your same view but it turned out they didn't How did you feel? How did it change your perspective of the situation andi'Or. person?
