This third part of the conversation between Jerry Henderson and Glen White continues their review of a number of key understandings of political polarization from social sciences research and opinion leaders. This episode includes how behavior of leaders and other public figures can have serious impacts on the responses of citizens to political battles, how that impact can spread almost like a pandemic, and the impact of media, including the spread of inaccurate information in society. The impact of emotions and how they can override rational considerations is explored. This primacy of heart over head helps to drive tribal decision-making for all of us to some degree. Check out the other episodes on this topic as we help you better appreciate the complications of dealing with political polarization, especially at the toxic level seen in today's society. Learn why political beliefs are so hard to change, and what can help us do better at depolarizing our personal and national conversations.
