Protecting Mistakes To Maintain Respect And Self-Worth In Politics And Social Media

Published: Feb. 19, 2020, 11 a.m.

Social media has become a form of protective barrier for people to get their need of being heard met while maintaining physical distance. As a result, people tend to be in a constant combative mode to reinforce a point of view—be that in alignment with the truth or not. Just like President Donald Trump. He meets his needs for respect, being heard, identity, and self-worth through his tweets and responses, even at the expense of the nation’s need for integrity, truth, and respect for others. In this discussion, Bill Stierle and Tom talk about the ways politicians, and even ourselves, protect our own mistakes in order to maintain respect and self-worth. They dive deep into actual online interactions that exhibit this and then touch on the need for a compassionate response in political discourse.
