The Problem of Polarization can be Stopped

Political discussion can be quite polarizing .

According to the Better Angels, political polarization did not start with the 2016 election – it’s been gaining momentum for over 20 years.

But with the rancor and divisiveness that has been on display in recent years, polarization may have reached its worst level in the United States since the Civil War Better Angels is a citizens’ organization uniting red and blue Americans in a working alliance to depolarize America

We try to understand the other side’s point of view, even if we don’t agree with it
We engage those we disagree with, looking for common ground and ways to work together
We support principles that bring us together rather than divide us

The skills needed to calm the war of words are taught through an up-coming workshop open to all willing to become better communicators. The next event will be held December 7th at Trinity United Methodist Church from 12:00pm to 3:00pm.
