The Socratic Method
The socratic method is definitely a useful way to see both sides of an argument. I've used this method in a previous class where my teacher sat us in a circle and we essentially asked questions and argued. It was useful because i found better understanding of the book we were reading (discussions topic) and it helped open up the class more. Although i didn't read the fun article, the article talks about how using the socratic method is a way to understand the working of the human mind and gives an example discussion between a teacher and their student talking about "are you're a loser if you don't reach a high wealth and social status?" This conversation is interesting to read because as a reader, i see the student as "immature and juvenile" but this is genuinely how someone may think which means the socratic method does its intended job.
