In this episode of the podcast we discuss the value of affirmative action in America. There's two ways to look at this circumstance one from education and two from the workplace. The original purpose of affirmative action was to even out the playing field for poorer and minority communities, but overall this situation went too far and it's not offering the solutions it promised. We go over potential alternatives to affirmative action to potentially help out these communities moving forward.

Welcome to today's episode of Purple Political Breakdown! In this thought-provoking installment, we delve into the pressing issue of the Political Divide in America. Join us as we explore how politics and values have seemingly vanished from the American landscape, leaving behind a toxic environment where individuals are fiercely divided in their political beliefs. The animosity between the two sides has reached alarming levels, posing significant threats to the overall well-being of the nation. However, we believe that there is hope for change. Throughout this episode, we will examine three key levels where we can begin to address and heal these problems: the familial level, the education level, and the social media level. Firstly, we delve into the familial level, recognizing the fundamental influence families have on shaping political beliefs and values. We explore strategies for fostering healthy and respectful discussions within families, promoting understanding, empathy, and open-mindedness. Moving on, we shift our focus to the education level. Education plays a pivotal role in shaping the minds of the future generation. We discuss the importance of teaching critical thinking skills, media literacy, and fostering diverse perspectives within educational institutions. By equipping students with the necessary tools to engage in nuanced political discourse, we aim to bridge the political divide and promote a more unified society. Finally, we delve into the impact of social media on political discourse. Social media platforms have become a breeding ground for polarization and echo chambers. We explore strategies to foster a healthier online environment, including promoting civil discourse, fact-checking, and encouraging the exploration of opposing viewpoints. By examining these three crucial levels – familial, education, and social media – we aim to provide insights and solutions to start healing the deep divisions within America. It is through gaining a nuanced understanding of these factors that we can strive towards a more united and harmonious country. Join us on this transformative journey as we explore ways to remedy the political divide and foster a healthier, more inclusive political discourse. Together, let's work towards a brighter future for America.
