It is not a simple problem. It does not have a simple solution. Or does it? This class will examine social and interpersonal conflict in six guided discussions, including the roles of (1) human nature, (2) morality, philosophy & religion, (3) politics, (4) cultural concessions, (5) media narratives and (6) the unintended result of technology. We will explore strategies to de-escalate, build bridges, maintain integrity, learn through conflict, and enhance community. Selected reading and discussion questions will be emailed to class participants each week.
