The Black Knight

 

  • How you will your interactions with contrarians function?  Obviously, the Black Knight is an extreme example, but you will have oppositional, “must be right” parents, students, coworkers, and even administrators with whom you will be dealing.
  • This also speaks to the power of cognitive dissonance, a huge factor in our everyday contemporary worlds.  Will you be asked to pass something off as “[. . .] merely a flesh wound”?  Be assured that you will encounter students who pass off serious issues as if they were nothing.  Grotesque as this skit is, it highlights a valid point about reality-based interactions and how those can no longer be assumed in 2021!
