It Takes a Humble Person to Let Go of His or Her Own Perspective in Order to See Someone Else’s

A quote by Henri-Frederic Amiel leads us into our next component of social awareness: the idea of cultural humility. Philosopher Amiel (2016) said, “There is no respect for others without humility in one’s self.” A key to being more socially aware is the ability to possess and practice humility. Humility is defined as “freedom from pride or arrogance” (Merriam-Webster Dictionary, 2018a). Humility, then, can help people have curious and open hearts when getting to know others. Research done in the realm of therapeutic practice suggests that humility can be crucial in developing bonding relationships, because individuals are inclined to value their own perspective (Davis et al., 2013). It takes a humble person to let go of his or her own perspective in order to see someone else’s.
