In my opinion, I disagree with this discussion for many reasons.
Everyone will have their unique way of seeing the world and you can not obligate someone to follow your view. But it will cause one situation which is when you listen to someone enough they will feel that is your responsibility and they never hear you. How do you feel when you are in this situation? Tiring? The fundamental communication is listening and sharing. That means everyone needs to listen and speak.
When you are a listener that is not wrong, but you should listen with choosing. When you listen to someone about new knowledge you never knew before, and you can not be certain they are right or not, whether they are good or bad people, you should think and check it. For example, what would happen if someone said that you could drink alcohol when you were 18 years old in the US? You will believe them because you want to gain new knowledge without checking anything. On the other hand, listening is one of the best skills to help you understand everyone. You should listen to them (for connecting or making new friends), and you must willingly respect differences. And then you choose which one is suitable or not for you ( about your culture, minding, personality)
In conclusion, every problem has two parts, so you should use both your cold head and warm heart to feel and think about it.
