What if incivility, not civility, has become our societal norm? We bravely confront this unsettling reality, shedding light on how our interactions have shifted towards hostility rather than productive debate. Through a candid discussion enriched by personal anecdotes, we reflect on how we once elevated discussions to advance ideas, contrasting sharply with today's landscape of outrage amplified by social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook. We comment on the ripple effects of hyperpartisanship and eroding trust in institutions, adding how these factors cultivate a divisive environment, leading to political violence and hindering progress on critical issues like healthcare and climate change.
We are concerned by the normalization of inhumanity, starting with the situation involving Hamas, and calls for a return to basic human decency. We draw thought-provoking parallels to the sportsmanship seen in hockey, where respect and reconciliation prevail despite fierce competition. This analogy serves as a powerful reminder that life should mirror this attitude.
