Quiz Score: 5 out of 5 The "Petrified Thought" refers to a firm or fixed state of mind which resists differing perspectives and is not flexible to different intellectual perspectives. This ideology is important to Todd Ochoa because it allows for him to explore limitations presented by certain theoretical as well as ideological frameworks which in turn emphasizes how fearful thoughts alter the openness to diverse perspectives and contributes to the social and cultural lack of development and growth.
