"Partisanship is our great curse. We too readily assume that everything has two sides and that it is our duty to be on one or the other"

James Harvey Robinson's quote highlights the risk of partisanship and its effect on our society. He argues that our tendency to view everything as having two sides requires us to take one side or the other, triggering us to ignore the intricacy of problems that need nuanced services. This also leads to a narrow-minded view of the world, where we only think about services that line up with our political views. In essence, Robinson is warning us of the threats of being too established in political ideologies and requires a more unbiased approach to analytical, where we think about various point of views and concepts rather than blindly following a political dogma.
