Ninety-three percent of the American public say that the erosion of civility is a problem. The key to bringing us together to is disagree better, not less. We discuss why disagreeing can lead to excellence, as well as the three biggest DO’s and DON’T’s of how to act respectfully despite differences. The DON’TS: (1) Don’t roll your eyes; (2) Don’t question another person’s motives; (3) Don’t hurl insults. The DO’s are: (1) Do make people feel seen; (2) Do allow people to be heard; (3) Do stand up for people on the other side when they are trashed by people on your side.
