"Here we are, in a time when feminism and gender issues are in the media more than ever, the conversation around female sexuality is happening all the time, and still, mainstream production companies keep creating the same boring stuff and are managed by the same kind of narrow-minded men," Lust says.

It has happened in UFO World: Left out in the cold, many ufologists have decided that scholars and politicians are "at best, narrow-minded or, at worst, engaged in a deliberate attempt to hide information," writes Eghigian, who's working on a book that covers the history of UFO sightings and reports of alien contact.

To try and paint as a narrow-minded bigot a man who has risked his life for people of all ethnicities and faiths in Sudan, Mozambique, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, Bosnia, Cambodia, Honduras, El Salvador, Kosovo, Turkey, and Afghanistan, Haiti, Japan, the Philippines, Nepal, Iraq, North Korea, and Myanmar is so petty it's almost laughable.

That being said, I do not have a specific dream school because there are so many schools that have programs that will aid me in becoming the doctor I want to be, so I do not need to be narrow-minded about a school just because it is one that everyone knows the name of.

Such narrow-minded self-regard is also certain to prevent any clear thinking that could lead to a welcome resolution of conflict and tensions or instigate a reimagining among American policymakers of a U.S. role in the Middle East that does not revolve around military engagements and a flooding of the region with lethal armaments.

Readers who, like Halford, chose to worship books instead of just one Book, who chose pluralism over narrow-minded huddles, can sometimes ache for family stories, as it were, from siblings who know what it was like to wish for escape from those warm sanctuaries while worrying that the larger world might prove too cold.

Mr Tooze sides with most economists in taking the view that the immediate post-crisis response was necessary, but unfortunate in that executives in the banking industry paid too low a price for their folly; that Europe was slow and narrow-minded in dealing with the peripheral countries; and that the switch to austerity was a mistake.

Drag is supposed to be an open forum for gender performance, I feel, but what I came up against initially was a barrage of rules: wear heels, cinch your waist, and I was like, OK, well if you don't want to book me because of what I am, then that is both narrow-minded and fine with me.

To say "the values of a few executives are imposed on workers who must adhere to their employers' worldview, often relating to issues with scant connection to the business," is narrow-minded thinking, because climate change is everyone's business — particularly for children and future generations who will have to live with the decisions we all make today.

In the vote, the Senate chose to ignore the ignominious fate of North Carolina legislators who had to retreat from similar narrow-minded restrictions this year in the face of a revolt by business and community leaders and a boycott by influential institutions that cost the state hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue and business profits.

It also shows that it's alright to admit that you were wrong; in interviews, Haggard sometimes expressed regret for writing "Okie," because he hated being pigeonholed as a "political" artist; as he said in 1981, the song "made me appear to be a person who was a lot more narrow-minded, possibly, than I really am," and it clearly bothered him.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD (CBS, Monday) It's "The Jeffersons" in reverse: Max Greenfield of "New Girl" and Beth Behrs of "2 Broke Girls" play a white couple who move from the Midwest to an African-American neighborhood in Los Angeles, where their next-door neighbor is a grouchy, narrow-minded heir to Archie Bunker and George Jefferson played by Cedric the Entertainer.

Iran, by contrast, is led by a narrow-minded, aging cleric who's been focused on acquiring the most important technology of the 20th century, nuclear weaponry, to help it dominate its region, push the U.S. out and win a struggle with the Sunni Arabs over who is the rightful heir to the Prophet Muhammad from the seventh century — Shiites or Sunnis.

Marta PeimerNew York To the Editor: As a middle-class mother of four who would need to spend $61 a week ($3.05 a meal) if I allowed my children to get school lunch, I found Jennifer Gaddis's claim that my "actions reduce the political will and financial resources necessary to make public school lunches better for everyone" quite narrow-minded.

They followed in the footsteps of books including The Continent, which author Keira Drake pulled and revised after readers pointed out the book's racist stereotypes; The Black Witch, which was criticized for how it depicted the slow growth of a narrow-minded young woman; and Laura Moriarty's American Heart, which lost the star on its Kirkus Review after people challenged its white savior narrative.

Small towns can be everything stereotypes suggest—provincial, narrow-minded, lacking in the diversity—but what they give us is the comfort of closeness: The door to the bar opens because you know Gil Vernon, strangers wave to you from their cars when you're walking down the sidewalk, the whole family shows up at the campsite, and the festival founder's dad will gladly jump your car.

This said, one suspects that it is a surprise to a lot of folks who, watching pro sports or some comedy or dramatic series, never realized until now that the people who produce, direct, and act in these productions, like the people who are in the same roles in the recorded music industry, are allied with the news media in a narrow-minded but powerful political bloc that systematically and fervently favors progressive politics.

I clung to the teachings forced on me at my Christian high school, a school my mother enrolled me in not because she was a Jesus freak but because she didn't want me going to a massive and underfunded public school in LA. As a result of all this Jesus talk in school, I slowly grew narrow-minded and my critical thinking skills shrank down to the size of a mustard seed.

In a statement released last summer, Goop also disparaged critics like Gunter and doubled down on Goop's "open-minded" worldview: that people need alternative solutions for the health problems that ail them, such as "lectin-limited diets" — solutions the medical establishment has been too narrow-minded to see: Where we have found our primary place is in addressing people, women in particular, who are tired of feeling less-than-great, who are looking for solutions — these women are not hypochondriacs, and they should not be dismissed or marginalized.
