The social and family interactions of wild chimpanzees have been the focus of Dame Jane Goodall's research for decades. Her understanding of animal behavior prompted the English primatologist to see a lesson for human communities as well: "Change happens by listening and then starting a dialogue with the people who are doing something you don't believe is right." Channel Dame Goodall: Tell us about a moment when you engaged in a difficult conversation or encountered someone with an opinion or perspective that was different from your own. How did you find common ground?
几十年来，Jane Goodall 女爵士一直研究野生黑猩猩的社会与家庭互动。她对动物行为的理解，也让这位英国灵长类动物学家看到了对人类社群的启示：“改变始于倾听，然后与那些正在做你认为不对的事情的人展开对话。”借鉴 Goodall 的思路，讲述一次你参与艰难对话，或遇到持有不同意见、视角的人的经历。你如何找到共同点？
