A time when I had to adjust my behavior to avoid prejudging was when a speaker was speaking of women in the military. I am all in favor of equal rights for woman however, there are just some tasks that woman are physically incapable of doing. For instances in the field of battle and a solider gets injured is the 120lb woman going to have the strength to bring a 220lb man to safety. In this situation I have to change my behavior and sit back and allow the speaker to speak. I had to conscious keep reminding myself to keep an open mind and avoid passing judgment before they were finished speaking.
The active listening techniques I could have used would have been empathic and objective listening. I could have explained to them how I felt
