Description

Most people believe their social and political views are based on fact and reflect their important values. Therefore, having conversations about sensitive topics such as politics, racism, and social issues can cause strain on relationships with friends, family, and co-workers. Instead of allowing political discussions to destroy these relationships, what if we could use these conversations to examine our own beliefs, look at facts, and find common ground?

Objectives

  • Understand political divides and motivators
  • Be able to explain your viewpoints and opinions in a non-judgmental way
  • Relate to those you disagree with by finding common ground
  • Utilize communication skills to decrease contentious conversations
