Common Ground with Jane Whitney

Breakthroughs: From Discord to Dialogue

Season 5 Episode 504

Americans have never been more connected – or more estranged – at the same time. Instead of talking with each other, we launch vicious strikes on social media. Many people want to mend fences, but they don’t know how. This Common Ground features a mini course in mastering the fine art of disagreeing agreeably, a first step to restarting American conversation.
