American politics are becoming more polarized, and the way that we talk to each other about politics is exacerbating this issue. Adam Green talks on the importance of civil discourse for political progress and his efforts to facilitate more productive political conversations at his university. Adam Green is a second-year student of the James Madison College at Michigan State University where he is pursuing his pre-law major in Political Theory and Constitutional Democracy. Adam is the President and founder of the James Madison College Conservatives, a student organization on campus devoted to promoting opportunities for people to engage in bipartisan civil discourse across Michigan State and in Lansing. Adam has always possessed a passion for speaking with those around him regarding social topics, governmental policy matters, and historical facts and events. Ranging from policy forums, small group debates, and candidate town-halls, Adam has helped host over twenty different platforms of opportunities for students to engage in civil discourse on campus this past year alone.He has found that the necessity for civil discourse in our society to exist is essential to the health and well-being of our nations, our society, and our own self interests. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
