Animosity often exists because people are unwilling or unable to see the world or a single experience from the perspective of another person. People often make snap judgments based on the first thing they see or hear about a person.

Question

Consider a person in your life, a neighbor or coworker about whom you have negative feelings. Think about how you formed those feelings.
My assignments are supposed to follow APA format and I know first person is discouraged in APA. What would be the best way to answer questions like the one listed below avoiding confusion and first person? I have asked my instructor about this and was told just do your best so far my best is barely getting a C in this class when I am a straight A student.
Post a 200- to 300-word response to the following: If you found out you were wrong, would you be willing to change the opinion you have held? Would you be willing to make an effort to change the basic relationship? What were the circumstances that created the snap judgment? How might you make the effort to change the basic relationship?

Answer 1

This paper definitely requires it to be in the first person. The assignment asks for your personal experience and your ideas. You must write in the first person.

Answer 2

I agree with Ms. Sue. Possibly this article might help.
