Sunday Platform with Curt Collier: Do You Feel Me?
March 9 @ 11:00 am - 12:15 pm
Research suggests that our ability to experience empathy is on the decline, affecting both children and adults. Could the increasing political divide in the U.S. be linked to this decline in empathy? Empathy is a combination of innate traits and learned skills. Can progressive groups foster empathy to create a more unified society? These questions, along with other related topics, will be explored in this interactive presentation.
Community lunch follows!
