Welcome to “Reframing the Conversation.” In this series, we explore the psychology of political polarization, techniques of media literacy, and skills for healthier political conversations. Together we reframe the way we approach challenging discussions and complicated relationships, focusing on empathy, active listening, and finding common ground when talking politics to have civil discussions in families.
Families are being broken by political narratives more and more today than ever before. The intensity of modern political discourse has made it hard to separate personal identity and political beliefs, making civil discourse challenging. Reframing the Conversation teaches skills for effective discourse.
With 25 years in Communication Studies, I am a public scholar, professor (University of North Carolina Wilmington), published author (“Celebrity and the American Political Process”), podcast host (“Reframing Me”), and expert in both political communication and family communication.
With Election Day only one month away, many relationships continue to struggle due to political differences. Spouses, parents and children, siblings, friends - all types of formerly close relationships have been damaged or destroyed because of uncivil political discourse, fueled by social media, media and campaigns.
Overall, there’s been a decline in the civility of political discourse because of identity-based politics. The intensity of modern political discourse has made it harder for people to separate their political beliefs from their personal identity and to separate other's political beliefs from their personal identities, leading to more emotionally charged conversations.
