Is Civil Discourse Being Practiced Today?

[acalltocivility]

Can we possibly stop crucifying one another long enough to realize the stones we’re chucking from our glass houses could easily bounce back and destroy our own fragile abodes where we don’t recognize our own unflattering behavior? None of us is perfect. We’re human. We make missteps. But if they’re coming from the right place, rather than excoriating that person give them the opportunity to see where you’re coming from in a civil manner and politely educate them. Screaming condemnations is counter-productive to your end goal. Besides, how would you like to be on the receiving end?

The point is, the court of public condemnation is undermining our cohesiveness as a society, and we need each other. Give people the benefit of the doubt, or one day you too just might find yourself on the other end of the noise.

Why Google can’t save us

How the Internet can contribute to thoughtful citizenship rather than lead to its demise

Bloomsburg University, in collaboration with VIA Public Media, will host “Conversations for the Common Good” on Thursday, March 5, at 6 p.m. in Carver Hall, Gross Auditorium. 

The subject of the lecture and interactive conversation will be “Why Google Can’t Save Us: How the internet can contribute to thoughtful citizenship rather than to its demise,” by Sam Wineburg, the Margaret Jacks Professor of Education at Stanford University. The event is free and open to the public.

Wineburg will consider civic responsibility and the internet: how to use it responsibly, and how to judge between legitimate and irresponsible sources of information found there. He will propose antidotes to the impulsive thinking and premature judgment that too frequently characterizes contemporary American public discourse.

Wineburg was educated at Brown and Berkeley and holds a doctorate in psychological studies in education from Stanford and an honorary doctorate from Sweden's Umeå University. Wineburg heads the Stanford History Education Group, whose curriculum and assessments have been downloaded seven million times, making it one of the largest providers of free curriculum in the world. Wineburg's scholarship sits at the crossroads of three fields: the psychology of teaching and learning, history, and education, and his articles have appeared in such diverse outlets as Cognitive Science, Journal of American History, Smithsonian Magazine, Washington Post, USA Today and the Los Angeles Times.

“Conversations for the Common Good” is an interdisciplinary, university and community-wide movement linking Bloomsburg University students, staff, faculty, and administrators, plus community partners and the general public in a single goal: to invest time, talent, and resources to promote dialogue that unites, and bridges seemingly vast divides, within the community it serves.
