Description

The Art of Communication in a Polarized World deals with the art of communication in the era of ideological polarization. Conway discusses how social media and algorithms feed polarization and form echo chambers, and explores weaponized communication tactics like gaslighting and disinformation while emphasizing the importance of respecting other people’s opinions. By providing tools for constructing arguments that can span ideological divides, this work could be useful for educators looking to prepare students for mock debate lessons in social studies. This work discusses practical approaches to polarized dialogue, which may prove useful for educators and students alike in navigating discussions about current events or political ideologies and opinions. Educators can use the book’s observations to help students analyze media for biases and learn respectful communication skills, thus making this work valuable for language arts or social studies lessons.
