Critical Thinking For The Preservation of Our Democracy
Speaker: Owen Fiss Professor of Law, Yale Law School Speaker: Akhil Reed Amar Professor of Law, Yale College and Yale Law School Moderator: David Bisno Constitutional law scholar Recently there has been a sharp decline in critical thinking – listening thoughtfully and evaluating different points of view objectively on an issue. Rather, partisan and often uncivil tribal loyalty is dominating the discourse, and Americans are more and more getting their information and opinions from media vehicles that already agree and reinforce their going-in opinions. Other points of view are ignored. We are planning to structure the sessions as debates where both sides of each issue are covered, thus demonstrating critical thinking in action. For each debate there will be a moderator and two speakers representing different points of view on the issue.
