We could take a better understanding of what the opposite side thinks and why they think the way they do. Make eye contact when they speak, and try to make them feel respected and they make us feel respected back. Understand that there is more of a moral divide than just a mental divide. When discussing the ideas on your side you have to connect to the other side's moral values to understand each other.

# data[].attributes.body
By noting each political point of view you can appeal to both

# data[].attributes.body
We can look to understand the underlying ideology behind the political beliefs of both sides. In doing so, we may reach an understanding of values and know where to seek common ground -- rather than seeking to argue even when we operate under different presuppositions.

# data[].attributes.body
People usually use polarizing language which may convey a biased attitude. They approach problems from different lenses like the need for protection and care vs loyalty

# data[].attributes.body
by connecting back to the other sides underlining moral values rather then your own moral values.

the time and respect in listening to each point of view

# data[].attributes.body
You can use the values of the other side to advocate for policy

# data[].attributes.body
We owe them enough respect to listen, and the benefit of the doubt. Assume that you are on the same team and both have the common good in mind, until proven otherwise.

# data[].attributes.body
People tend to automatically claim that the other side is wrong instead of actually listening to there claims first. I do believe that this is true in our country as so many people do not even engage in a conversation with someone who has different political views as them. They automatically disagree or turn it into a debate rather than having an effective conversation with them.

# data[].attributes.body
we speak like we are speaking in a mirror, we find different morals in each situation. we usually find a way to attack each other personally instead of listening.

# data[].attributes.body
People use polarizing language, they don't try to understand the others moral values trying to make them see through our own underlining moral values instead of trying to connect them to something they feel. They might think the same way in some stand point but not with how certain things are being said.

# data[].attributes.body
I would strive to address classmates with respect and view our conversations as a way to seek the best policy, not a fight against another person.

# data[].attributes.body
We owe them the right to empathy and respect.

# data[].attributes.body
Empathy and respect are crucial to meaningful political discussion.

# data[].attributes.body
One way you can be persuasive in a political conversation is by appealing to the other side. For example you can use there values to advocate for a policy.

# data[].attributes.body
We owe people the right to empathy and respect. We need to connect to their morals to bring our own point across.

# data[].attributes.body
by finding a way to connect and agree with each other. by listening to each other and not going right to personally attacking based on their political stance.

# data[].attributes.body
You can use the values of the other side to advocate for policy

# data[].attributes.body
You can be more effective at persuading someone if you tailor your argument to meet their underlying moral values.

# data[].attributes.body
I would strive to show respect to everyone even though I might not agree to their point. I will prove a point through showing what the other side might agree on more even if it's not as easy to write as using our own ideas and beliefs.

# data[].attributes.body
We owe our fellow citizens and classmates empathy and respect. There is no need to automatically attack them but rather listen to there point of view and there claims first before automatically disagreeing with them.

# data[].attributes.body
giving people the opportunity to say their peace, giving other respect with eye contact as they say their pov.

# data[].attributes.body
be empathetic to each party, and give everyone the respect they deserve in the conversation.

# data[].attributes.body
Gaining a basic respect for others and trying to understand other perspectives is what is key for change. From there, we can agree on common ground and the issues of most importance, rather than endless and escalating arguing without anything actually being done.

# data[].attributes.body
Respect and our attention so they know their voices are heard.

# data[].attributes.body
We can learn about the other cultures and beliefs people have in this country in order to educate ourselves. The main reason or a divide in this country is respect, if we show respect and teach it then there will be not as many problems as what we have now.

# data[].attributes.body
I will always give classmates the benefit of the doubt and listen to them before claiming an opinion on the topic. Even if I believe that I will disagree with them I will still listen to them and try to understand there claims before forming my own opinion.

# data[].attributes.body
We can better bridge the divide within our country by showing respect for one another, removing political stereotypes, and agreeing to disagree on things.

# data[].attributes.body
Respect is so important and vital for us to use this semester in order to have effective political conversations.

# data[].attributes.body
It's usually pretty common to see both people trying to overpower the other with their arguments of fact and opinions. They don't see it as a conversation, they see it as a way to share their point of view, which is useless when the person their talking with is also already stuck in their ways.

# data[].attributes.body
Even if we disagree, we owe them the opportunity to voice their opinion and challenge our beliefs.

# data[].attributes.body
Be open to what someone has to say regardless of their age, political party , religion, sexuality etc because everyone has experienced different things and adapted to life accordingly so they have reasons to believe what they do and feel how they feel.

# data[].attributes.body
People tend to speak as if they were speaking in a mirror. In other words, they have come up with reasons and facts beforehand and they are not truly debating with one another. They are just listing reasons they are right and shutting themselves off from one another, instead of working through the arguments.

# data[].attributes.body
By listening to others and removing political stereotypes that we may have about the other side. For example not all liberals and conservative are the same and so just because one conservative or liberal you met is against or for something does not mean everyone in that party is and that is important to remember.

# data[].attributes.body
People tend to stray away from the beliefs that they do not have, that are not a part of their belief system, that are not moral to them. We need to listen to one another. We need to keep eye contact, not talk over one another. We need to respect the beliefs that everyone has instead of attacking one another either verbally, through social media, and so much more. A conversation can go a long way.

# data[].attributes.body
We owe each other the opportunity to voice their opinion and to give them respect even if we disagree.

# data[].attributes.body
Most beliefs boil down to a set of moral values and if you can make arguments that appeal to those values it is much easier to bridge the gap between left and right.

# data[].attributes.body
When people try to have political conversations, sometimes their morals and opinions take over facts and respect. I think this is true, it doesn't happen all the time but I do notice when people start to disengage from the conversation because they run out of things to say and instead of ending the conversation in a respectful manner, they chose to ramble on about things not relevant to what we are speaking about.

# data[].attributes.body
Once you make your opinion known and why you see it as important, but then get the other person's perspective, and if they don't agree, try to come up with different reasons or perspectives of why it should matter to them and why they should agree with it.

# data[].attributes.body
I would apply this by giving my classmates my full attention when they are speaking, even if I do not agree. In addition, its important to give respectful body language and allow them to voice their opinion.

# data[].attributes.body
You can be more persuasive by backing up your information and relating it to what the other side has to say, be confident in the information you are giving out is also important so you can always know exactly what to say.

# data[].attributes.body
Making propositions using values that the opposing side prioritizes

# data[].attributes.body
When people try to have a political conversation, it usually does not end well in our society. We, as humans, tend to automatically refer back to what our moral beliefs are instead of looking at the big picture, or seeing what the other people have to say. We never open our eyes to anything new, unless it is what we want to hear. Wiler was true in what he said about how our country is divided when trying to have these conversations.

# data[].attributes.body
We owe them the opportunity to speak their mind, we owe them different perspectives, and we owe them the benefit of the doubt.

# data[].attributes.body
We own each other the time and respect to speak on what they have to say, no matter who is talking no one should interrupt them because they don't like what the other person is saying.

# data[].attributes.body
People tend to make arguments based on their own moral values,not the other persons moral values and because of this political conversations usually don't go anywhere. Asking people to compromise their values is a much larger request than asking them to consider your point from a perspective that has their values in mind.

# data[].attributes.body
Being persuasive in a political conversations means that you are able to see the other side and where they are coming from, but you are also true to what you believe. So, we should be more open-minded when in these conversations and show that we appeal to what the other person has to say.

# data[].attributes.body
In this country we have become completely polarized. It is more important than ever to begin rebuilding the gap between these two groups. In the video, we learned that opinions are formed by underlying values and perspectives. This is important as it shows how best to persuade another person and shows us why respect is important in a conversation.

# data[].attributes.body
Use the other persons values to make arguments for your perspective.

# data[].attributes.body
I would apply this talk to the classroom setting by being patient with my peers when they are speaking and if I want to try to "convince" them that I am right, I would relate what i'm saying to things I know that they also believe in.

# data[].attributes.body
I'd apply this by giving people my full attention, hearing their perspective, and trying to understand how they view the world and what they value. I'd try to reform my argument with things that they actually care about.

# data[].attributes.body
Usually when people try to have these political conversations one side leaves feeling unheard and disliking the other side even more. I think one issue is that we don't separate our feelings from our beliefs in discussions so when someone is opposing we tend to become defensive and the discussion turns more into a argument than a conversation. We could also have people who are stuck in their ways and will disagree no matter what.

# data[].attributes.body
We owe our fellow citizens and classmates the respect to listen to what they have to say and also that if we do not agree with them, that everyone is entitled to have an opinion of their own.

# data[].attributes.body
My key take away from this video is that no matter what the divide or argument is about, both sides need to give respect and show that they are listening to each others views before saying what they want to say.

# data[].attributes.body
I would aim to listen more carefully to why people believe what they believe. Then try to use that information to explain an opposing viewpoint.

# data[].attributes.body
By being able to communicate without becoming defensive and putting in the work to actually hear each other. We need to be able to communicate with one another neutrally that's the best way we'll be able to reach agreements.

# data[].attributes.body
There are still plenty of ways for people to come together on issues, but us coming together to solve the big problems in the country and in the world is going to take a lot of changes in perspective and a lot of effort for some to find common ground and respect for others that could not be more different than them.

# data[].attributes.body
I would stress that even without having the same viewpoint, listening is the best thing we can do. Just by dismissing people and showing that you do not have respect means that the conversation is not for you. Also, even though I might have a different view on what they might be talking about, I will still listen and understand their side and realize where they are coming from. I expect the same in return.

# data[].attributes.body
Having respect and empathy for others is crucial to have a meaningful political conversation.

# data[].attributes.body
To try to understand why others believe what they believe as opposed to simply arguing. Understanding that most peoples beliefs stem from their morals can help us as a country find a middle ground.

# data[].attributes.body
I would make being open minded and respectful a goal everyday so everyone in class feels comfortable, Respected and heard when sharing their ideas.
