This Ted Talk wort off went in a totally different direction than i thought it would, but it still worked out for what I was looking for. I found it interesting to think about what issues were linked to multiple sources and multiple sets of morals. I also really like the mini history lesson, but that’s a bit unrelated. I enjoyed figuring out that the trick of getting all of this to work was both manipulating people’s sense of consistency while also asking them to fight for something they might be against, eventually uniting them against a common threat. It’s interesting how it works out, and I find it to be a sound strategy for the most part. The part about a complete government overhaul? I’m not so sure.
My question to this part is: What is the “other side” to the issue of climate change? For those who don’t believe in climate change, what is an issue that they can fight for that is parallel to climate change?
How can you find what that position is and what facts they use to defend that position?
ReplyDeleteI think the best way to do this is through friendly political conversation. Not only will this build positive relationships and make you learn their point of view, it builds a level of empathy needed to better understand these issues as a whole.
