CHICAGO–America remains strongly divided following the recent elections in ways that have not been seen before. Can those wounds ever heal, and can America ever come together again?
That issue is discussed in this TED Talk by social psychologist Jonathan Haidt, who studies the morals that form the basis of our political choices. In conversation with TED Curator Chris Anderson, he describes the patterns of thinking and historical causes that have led to such sharp divisions in America — and provides a vision for how the country might move forward.
