Answer:

people will often go to extreme lengths to justify their actions or beliefs.

Explanation:

Often times, a belief is strongly associated with a certain set of life principle from which we develop our identity within the social group.

Abandoning this belief means that we have to admit that we have a false/ weak identity as a person. This will made people felt embarrassed or humiliated. This is why they often go to extreme lengths to justify their belief.

Other example would be a group of flatearthers.

Rather than believing the proven image given by known scientists, they choose to believe their fellow flat earthers who have no relevant education in the matter at all. They developed a belief that the society is trying to trick them because changing their beliefs would made them felt humiliated.

How do jonas the elders and the giver have contradictory views of life?
djverab [1.8K]

The Elders view life as a thing to be regulated and controlled. They prefer their community to be sanitized of basic primal and complex emotion. Jonas discovers there is more to life than walking around with a silly smile on one's face. He realizes his primal longings and emotions are important to human nature and identity. The Giver too has misgivings about his role in perpetuating the Elder's agenda. He lost his own daughter. He thinks life in the community needs to change. :)
