3. Discussion
To find extreme viewpoints, I need look no further than my own family. My family has members whose opinions vary widely. These opinions often result in interesting conversations, debates, and occasional disagreements at family gatherings. Two contrasting members of my family are my brother and my father. I understand both of them fairly well, but their attempts to understand each other are less successful. My father and my older brother sometimes assume diametrically different viewpoints. My brother is artistic and creative while my father is pragmatic and technically minded. One of the more humorous differences between them is their taste in music. My brother is a born musician who loves music with soul. On the other hand, my father is a scientist and listens to Cheo. Another often humorous difference between my father and brother is the way they wear their hair. My brother wears his hair down to his shoulders. My father, on the other hand, always gets his hair cut when it begins to touch his collar. When my father was growing up in the sixties, all men wore short hair. However, my brother grew up during the twenties when people were more liberal in the way they dressed. The length of my brother's hair bothers my father. Although my brother and father disagree on many things, they manage to get along very well. Both of them are open-minded and can appreciate each other's differences.
