open/open-minded

[dean1]

Hi. I'd like to know the difference between 'open' and 'open-minded'. Can anyone pls explain it to me? If possible pls give some examples too.
thanks

'Open' has a wider meaning- it involves being friendly and expressive to me, while an open-minded person doesn't necessarily want to engage in debate.
