Framing our values/winning the argument

the cinephile in me loves this 'frame'

(April 4, 2011, Maddow, "Winning the Argument": Yes. Exactly:)


Framing OUR Values
Framing, Conservative-style (see also Welcome to the Echochamber

  • The Righteous Mind,’ by Jonathan Haidt - NYTimes.com (REVIEW) (3/2012) http://nyti.ms/GSvkn4 


    Haidt argues that people are fundamentally intuitive, not rational. If you want to persuade others, you have to appeal to their sentiments. But Haidt is looking for more than victory. He’s looking for wisdom. That’s what makes “The Righteous Mind” well worth reading. Politics isn’t just about ­manipulating people who disagree with you. It’s about learning from them.

    • Another way of putting it is this: Americans speak about values in six languages, from care to sanctity. Conservatives speak all six, but liberals are fluent in only three. And some (me included) mostly use just one, care for victims. “Moral psychology can help to explain why the Democratic Party has had so much difficulty connecting with voters,” writes Haidt, a former liberal who says he became a centrist while writing the book.
