Unfortunately, we now live in a culture where when anyone shares, especially on social media, an idea that opposes the ideas of another, an attack is launched. We have lost the ability to inquire about differences and respectfully let people think and feel for themselves. How did we get here? And how can we learn what I call “The Art of Disagreement?”
