Experiences and interaction. A person familiar with a situation does not have the same perspective as someone that actually experienced it.
Using marriage as an example, a single person could talk to several hundred married person to gain insight into how a marriage works and what a marriage is like. But once a person is married they will gain a new, deeper and more profound perspective on marriage.
One has to experience something before their perspective can be changed.

When reality comes and bites you on the ***. Honestly, changing perspectives is like getting hit on the head with a newspaper. You feel so... scolded. By life. For being such a complete idiot, for never realizing the obvious. People only change perspectives when something hurts them because we're selfish creatures.
People only ever really change perspectives when they follow their heart. When they follow something instinctual really, because the things in life we all "learn" are things we are born knowing. Like being true to yourself--easy enough, right? But not so much when you get caught up pleasing other people. Example; killing animals. Not cool when it happens to your dog, especially not cool when it happens to a cow or pig. But everybody's doing it! So uneducated and bumbling, I grew up eating meat. And one day I was curious and I watched one of those slaughterhouse videos on YouTube and it -hurt- and I became a vegetarian. So I changed perspectives. My perspectives are changing more and more as I hurt and hurt, and the more I bleed, the happier I feel.
And. And yeah. Was that any good?

Learning to think beyond themselves and their own life experiences. Learning that not everyone grew up in middle class America and because of that they're going to see things in a different perspective.

Love...and hate. Loyalty...and betrayal.
Actually all the EMOTIONS and EXPERIENCES have the capacity to change a persons perspective. Some enlighten you and others may blind you...but change, they all do.

Marriage. Divorce. Getting caught. A brush with death. Losing a parent or both of them. Succeeding against all odds.
