Ted Talk Video: "Can a Divided America Heal?" by Jonathan Haidt
Reflection Discussion: Briefly address the following questions. Read the Twitter post and watch Haidt's Ted Talk. For a little background, Cory Clark is joining Jonathan Haidt's Heterodox Academy. Haidt is a morality psychologist and his position is that we need more political diversity and ideologies in academia. However, scientists have pushed back and said that some of the so-called conservative ideologies are grounded in nationalism and prejudice.
In Haidt's video, he suggests that nationalists are correct-increasing cultural similarities within a nation can promote progressive policies. Do you agree with this thinking? Why or why not?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
