Talking to Our Neighbors About the News

9/27/2019

 
September 22, 2019 - Contemporary Issues 
Topic: Contemporary Issues wraps up a short series on fact and falsehood in the news. We want to have meaningful, reasonable conversations with our neighbors who get their news from some other source. How can we talk to each other when we don't see our shared reality in the same way? Robb Willer reminds us that our disagreements are about values, and we do better if we try to understand the other person's moral values.  
This class included a TED Talk in the recorded audio. Watch the talk on the TED website or embedded here:

How to See Truth

9/12/2019

 
September 8, 2019 - Contemporary Issues 
Topic: Fact and falsehood in the news. “We're in a paradoxical situation of thinking that we know so much more, and yet not agreeing on what it is we know.” Michael Patrick Lynch argues that living in a common reality demands that we do the work to find out for ourselves and remember that we don't know it all.
