स्कूलों में असहमति के अधिक अवसर क्यों बनाने चाहिए | मार्क उरिस्टा | TEDxCorvallis

लिन-बेंटन कम्युनिटी कॉलेज में स्पीच कम्युनिकेशन के शिक्षक मार्क उरिस्टा का तर्क है कि स्कूलों को छात्रों को रचनात्मक ढंग से असहमति जताने के अधिक अवसर देने चाहिए। वे कॉलेज के सिविल डिस्कोर्स प्रोग्राम का नेतृत्व करते हैं, जो ध्रुवीकरण वाले मुद्दों पर संरचित संवाद और बहस का उपयोग करता है। उनके अनुसार असहमति को सही ढंग से संभालना अगली पीढ़ी को सिखाए जाने वाले सबसे महत्वपूर्ण लेकिन अनदेखे कौशलों में से एक है। यह वार्ता एक स्वतंत्र रूप से आयोजित TEDx कार्यक्रम में दी गई थी।

• असहमति को सही ढंग से संभालना एक सिखाया जा सकने वाला कौशल है
• कॉलेज में संरचित संवाद और बहस
• विभाजन के बजाय समझ बनाना
