About the Webinar
Our world today is in a deeply polarized state, both ideologically and emotionally. Hot-button issues abound, triggering responses which are intensified by misinformation, tribalism, and toxic rhetoric. When the roots of our identities intertwine with what we believe to be true, it is all too easy to demonize — and dehumanize — those who disagree with us. In this interactive webinar, we’ll explore ways to transform adversarial debate into respectful dialogue.
Topics covered include:
- The Pyramid of Choice
- Naïve Realism and the Ladder of Inference
- When Mindset Intertwines with Identity
- Demonization of the “Other”
- Exploring the 3rd Alternative
