resistance to new ideas
Resistance to new ideas refers to the reluctance or opposition individuals or groups exhibit towards accepting or considering innovative or unfamiliar concepts, changes, or perspectives. This resistance can stem from fear of the unknown, attachment to existing beliefs or ways of thinking, lack of understanding or knowledge about the new idea, or even a desire to maintain the status quo. Overcoming resistance to new ideas often requires effective communication, open-mindedness, education, and patience.
