In the world we currently occupy it can seem like we can't have conversations with people who have views that are different than ours. In this description we had originally called them OPPOSING viewpoints, but that would add to the problem we already have. The problem being anyone who has a different viewpoint than ours is the opposition.
Does it really have to be this way?
Can we have conversations with people who don't share our views?
On this episode of the podcast we talk with our friend Ben Scoggan about how we can overcome our IDENTITY POLITICS, find multiple sources of information, and have conversations with people that may change our perspective for the better.
The goal of teaching and education is to learn, so when we only talk with people who share our views and listen to news that affirms us, how are we going to learn anything we don't already know. If we fall into this trap it will be very difficult for us to provide multiple perspectives for our students so they can make decisions on their own. If we want to empower our kids to explore the world for themselves then we had better be doing it ourselves. Here's glimpse at the work that we've done on having conversations. Hope you enjoy it!
