How to use "Ingrained" in context?
Most people associate the word "ingrained" with negative things. We think of people as being in deep, long-term trouble if they have bad habits that are "ingrained" in them. But what many people don't realize is that "ingrained" can also be a powerful tool for change.
If we want to change a behavior, we often first have to identify and understand the root cause of that behavior. In order to do that, we need to look at the behavior from the perspective of the person who is engaging in it. That's where "ingrained" comes in.
