 Use 2 languages (Indo-Eng) is open minded

Expressing opinion with two languages looks open minded. It is no longer strange if now we communicate in two languages. It is very good if we become bilingual, but what is the connection between speaking or arguing in two languages with open-minded?. Actually, when people use two languages when they are speak they are improving their English it does not matter whether the grammar is correct or not, the important thing is that it is clear and easy for people to understand. Even when using two languages when debate and you lose, you will lose with classy. But there are people who join in, so that their opinion do not match with the discussion, it’s very forced just to look open-minded. Even many of them just want to look smart if they express their opinion two languages. They feel they look smart and always feel victorious when arguing.

People who use two languages when expressing their opinion think they look smart. It shows if people who speak two languages are smarter than people who only speak one language, but not necessarily bilingual people are open-minded. This is in line with Jason Baehr (2011) who mention open-minded person as one who characteristically moves beyond or temporarily sets aside his own doxastic commitments in order to give a fair and impartial hearing to the intellectual opposition. People who are open-minded people who can accept other people’s opinions without dropping them, respect each others opinions. Here is where open-mindedness as a critical virtue enters the picture. According to Cohen, ‘‘there is more to open-mindedness than its role in epistemic pursuits’’ (ibid). Usually people who are open-minded have a very critical mind and are quite broad-minded.

They will feel like they won the debate even though they actually lost. Lose with classy. Those who have an opinion in 2 languages will be happy and will feel very smart when other people call them open minded even though sometimes their opinions cannot be understood by everyone who reads it or hears it.  Most of them just show off their intelligence by using words that many people still do not understand in order to still look smart. For example when people argue and it ends with "cmiiw", people will read "cemiwiw" which means the same as a joke. whereas "cmiiw" is "correct me if i am wrong" which means if his statement is wrong, you can interrupt. Even sadly, there are still people who interpret “lol” not as “laugh out load” but instead into “tolol” which means “bodoh” in Indonesian. Usually people who misinterpret like that are only used as jokes, but if they continue to be used as jokes it will become a bad habit and can embarrass themselves too.

All in all, open minded is being able to accept everyone's opinion without demeaning the opinions of others. An open-minded has nothing to do with how much language to use when expressing opinion or debating. And if you want to express your opinion using one language it’s okay there’s no need to feel stupid or embarrassed as long as your opinion does not stray far from the topic being discussed.
