Season 2 Showcase
These not so United States are at their most polarized point in over 100 hundred years and possibly since the Civil War. How did we get so partisan? How could we get less partisan? And can independent-minded Americans help bridge the divide?
These are the questions underlying our exploration of deepening political and social polarization. To do so, we take a 360-degree tour, consulting experts in fields as diverse as neuroscience, media studies, and the social sciences, as well as politicians, mediators, comedians, screenwriters, and people from all walks of life dealing with partisanship in the media, at work and at home, and seemingly everywhere in between.
Are you a member of the exhausted majority concerned about the polarization of any and all issues in the U.S. and globally today? Do you worry about the gradual weakening of democratic norms and civil society? Are you a purple mediator in your own red vs. blue family, workplace, or social group?
If so, please tune into the Purple Principle, share us on social media, and tell your own purple tale through our contact form below.
Have a Purple Tale to Tell?
