Why Political Dialog Is Disingenuous

by Charles D. Hayes

Overview

As a staunch defender of lifelong learning, Charles Hayes has studied American culture and politics from a variety of angles, along with theories old and new about human behavior. In this essay, he probes the reasons behind the damaging political divisiveness we’re now experiencing in this country. The way out, he proposes, is for Americans to understand how they’re being manipulated and to take their full responsibility as citizens in a democracy. (4075 words)
