As a listener, what should you do after hearing a sexist or culturally insensitive remark with which you disagree? Why? Provide an anecdote to support your response.

What will be an ideal response?

The ideal answer should include:
- A common listener reaction is to draw conclusions or judgments on incomplete evidence. Sometimes, listeners will stop listening after hearing, for example, an attitude they disagree with or some sexist or culturally insensitive remark.
- Instead, this is a situation that calls for especially concentrated listening so that you don't rush to judgment. Wait for the evidence or argument; avoid making judgments before you gather all the information. Listen first, judge second.
- Student anecdotes will vary.
