text: Asking other people can give you a new perspective. You could also start seeing life or something different from a new point of view. During the cold war, poeple tried to see the perspective of both sides. The communists wanted a completely free country where everyone has a job and a decent living, but you all ration and get an equal amount of resources. The problem was that this could lead to shortages in supplies, and that people were corrupt in the government. On the other hand, capitalists wanted people to seek their dreams and work hard to get more money, but with more risk and reward. Their issue was that this caused poeple who were lower class to have less of a chance in the world, since you had to compete with the the rich and middle class. Each side had their pros and cons,and both tried to help people. Getting new ideas and perspectives are good, but what about actually using the ideas?
